Highlighted Reviews
"I bought a leg splint for my dog. It was the wrong size. They refunded my money and reordered my right size. They asked me to donate my splint to a local dog shelter for another dog in need. That is just amazing to me. Thank you for your donation to another dog in need."
"This product did not work as advertised on our Golden Retriever. Her paw basically slipped around in it, so it did not keep her from knuckling. And we ordered the correct size. Now I’m stuck with a $70 brace. Can’t see returning it, as her hair is stuck to the Velcro now. Waste of money"
Bottom Line
Consider alternatives if durability and fit are crucial. Check sizing charts carefully and weigh the benefits against noted issues before purchasing.
