A hip support brace for dogs provides warmth, gentle compression and physical support around the hips and lower back. The Ortocanis brace is designed for active, recovering or senior dogs that may benefit from additional support during supervised daily activities.<\/p>\n
Made from resistant neoprene, the brace wraps around the dog\u2019s hip area and connects to a chest anchoring section to help maintain its position.<\/p>\n
The Ortocanis hip support brace for dogs may be considered for animals experiencing mild to moderate hip dysplasia, arthritis, reduced endurance or weakness affecting the hips and lower back.<\/p>\n
It may also be incorporated into a professionally supervised recovery program following certain injuries or surgical procedures.<\/p>\n
The brace does not immobilize the hip joint. Instead, it provides warmth, light compression and external support around the hip and lower-back muscles.<\/p>\n
Veterinary assessment is recommended before use because hip discomfort, weakness and limping can have several different causes.<\/p>\n
The Ortocanis hip brace may be considered for dogs experiencing:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Mild to moderate hip dysplasia
\n\u2022 Arthritis or osteoarthritis affecting the hips
\n\u2022 Reduced endurance during physical activity
\n\u2022 Hip sensitivity or discomfort
\n\u2022 Lower-back weakness
\n\u2022 Fatigue or limping in the rear legs
\n\u2022 Recovery following certain injuries
\n\u2022 Postoperative support when recommended professionally
\n\u2022 Age-related difficulty with movement<\/p>\n
This product is not recommended for dogs with degenerative myelopathy. Ask your veterinarian to identify the cause of the dog\u2019s mobility difficulties before ordering.<\/p>\n
The brace is manufactured from resistant neoprene selected for its flexibility, warmth and ability to provide gentle compression.<\/p>\n
Its adjustable configuration helps position the supportive section over the hips and lower back while the front harness anchors the brace around the chest.<\/p>\n
The brace should fit securely without restricting breathing, normal leg movement or circulation.<\/p>\n
Inspect the skin and coat beneath the brace regularly. Remove the product immediately if you observe persistent redness, pressure marks, swelling, overheating or unusual discomfort.<\/p>\n
The hip support brace is not designed to prevent the dog\u2019s rear legs from spreading apart.<\/p>\n
Dogs experiencing significant rear-leg splaying, severe instability, paralysis or loss of coordination may require another type of mobility or rehabilitation equipment.<\/p>\n
The brace also does not replace a wheelchair, lifting harness, surgical treatment or professionally prescribed rehabilitation program.<\/p>\n
A veterinarian or canine rehabilitation professional can help determine whether this type of external support corresponds to the dog\u2019s condition and functional abilities.<\/p>\n
Measure the circumference of the dog\u2019s chest immediately behind the front legs.<\/p>\n
Use a flexible measuring tape and keep it level around the body. The tape should rest against the coat without compressing the chest.<\/p>\n
Do not choose the size based exclusively on weight or breed. Weight is provided only as an approximate reference.<\/p>\n
\u2022 XXS:<\/strong> chest circumference 33\u201345 cm or 13\u201318 inches; approximately under 2 kg Some chest ranges overlap. Select the size according to the actual measurement, body proportions and adjustment requirements.<\/p>\n If the dog\u2019s measurement falls between sizes or within an overlapping range, contact ConceptASR Vet before ordering.<\/p>\n Allow the dog to become familiar with the brace gradually.<\/p>\n During the first fitting, confirm that:<\/p>\n \u2022 The chest section is secure but not tight Begin with a brief, supervised period indoors. Observe the dog while standing, sitting, lying down and walking.<\/p>\n Increase the duration gradually only if the dog remains comfortable and according to veterinary or professional recommendations.<\/p>\n Once the dog has adapted, the manufacturer indicates that the brace may be worn during the day. It should be removed at night and during extended periods of unsupervised rest.<\/p>\n Check the brace before every use. Confirm that the neoprene, straps, seams, buckles and adjustment points remain in good condition.<\/p>\n Inspect the dog\u2019s skin after use, especially beneath the chest straps and around the hips, abdomen and lower back.<\/p>\n Remove the brace if it becomes wet, twisted or incorrectly positioned. A wet or folded brace may create friction and pressure.<\/p>\n Do not allow the dog to chew the product. Replace the brace if its structure or security has been compromised.<\/p>\n Close the fasteners before cleaning and follow the manufacturer\u2019s care instructions.<\/p>\n Allow the brace to dry completely before placing it back on the dog. Do not expose the neoprene to excessive heat.<\/p>\n Store the clean, dry brace away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.<\/p>\n Consult a veterinarian if the dog experiences:<\/p>\n \u2022 Sudden limping or weakness These signs require professional assessment and should not be managed solely with an orthopedic brace.<\/p>\n ConceptASR Vet provides personalized assistance in English and French.
