Health & Wellbeingdog pulled his rear leg ACL can you reccomed a type of brace
So, this is not a simple answer because braces for ACL tears are not as easy to work with in dogs as they are in people. For a knee brace to work in a dog, it needs to be custom made which requires a vet to make a cast from Shamus' leg and mail that to the company to make the brace. They braces cost about $800, but that does not include casting or fitting fees. The brace I have used most commonly is an OrthoPets stifle orthotic. https://orthopets.com/products/dog-knee-brace/ Hero is also an excellent company. https://www.goherogo.com/braces/knee-brace I have not personally casted for this product, but have done rehabilitation on dogs with a My Dog's Brace, and the owners have been pleased with them. https://mypetsbrace.com/canine-knee-braces-rear-leg Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
