Help Your Dog Stay Active and Comfortable – Now With Support for Both Back Legs
The Balto® Hock Brace Bundle includes two braces, one for each of your dog’s back ankle area (called the hock). This is a great option for dogs who have injuries in both hocks, arthritis in both joints, or for dogs who are putting extra pressure on the uninjured leg while one side heals.
These soft, breathable braces provide gentle support without limiting your dog’s ability to walk, run, or play. Whether your dog needs help recovering or just a bit of extra stability, this set is designed to keep them comfortable and moving.
When to Use This Brace:
- For sprains or strains around the hock or Achilles tendon
- Before surgery, to stabilize the joint and prevent it from worsening
- After surgery, to help your dog heal
- To support soft tissue injuries in the ankle area
- To help manage long-term hock pain
- Alongside physical therapy, hydrotherapy, or acupuncture
- To protect healthy joints and prevent future injuries
- To keep wounds and bandages safe from licking, biting, or rubbing
Brace Features:
- Three lightweight metal splints: two on the sides to limit side-to-side movement, and one in front that can be gently shaped for a better fit
- Can also be worn without splints for dogs with arthritis or joint stiffness
- Gentle compression boosts blood flow, helping reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness
- Adjustable straps for a secure, comfortable fit on any size leg
Comes in sizes xx-small through x-large, for left and right orientation. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.
All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to: collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.
