Labra Dog Extra Supportive Canine Rear (Hind) Leg Hock Joint Compression Wrap for Recovery, Protection, and Sprain and Injury Prevention, Ankle Brace

Just what we needed!. Purchased this after our Lab had surgery.He fought the cone 24 hours a day and licked his wound constantly,The product is soft and conforms well to his leg. Very happy with this purchase

Was kind of okay, and until this day my dog has never really recovered.I won't say that it's a bad product but unfortunately if my dog didn't get any better then it's hard for me to give a fair assessment of what I just purchased.Hope that might help.

Was a good idea and lasted a day when I needed to protect a would on my dogs legI wish it would have worked longer because it was great while it lasted. I can’t see this item being helpful to give any type of support to a pets leg at all because it was very flimsy and cheap- not at all worth the price and definitely not a braceI will say the Velcro straps were long and stretchy which was good for the use I was trying to achieve.It was just too flimsy to lastThe pictures make it look better than it actually is fyi

I waited a while before reviewing to make sure it would work, and hold out on such a tough job.(Before leaving comments - Lady is a rescue from a meth house that was using her for a puppy-mill to pay for more drugs. She, along with several other mastiffs were rescued. She and her brother came to our house. We didn't do this to her. We didn't get her and her brother from a breeder. And we don't breed her. We are merely here to make the rescues as comfortable as possible for as long as possible.)Lady has one particularly bad joint that she takes several meds for and they do help with the pain, but not with her leg slipping under while she walks. Her leg was getting worse and we were getting nervous she would have to be put down just because of the one joint (her brother had to be put down early because of severely bad hips that wouldn't hold him any longer.) When we go on walks, her hind leg would slip under her due to weakness, and often times she would fall on her keester. I found this brace - one of the few big enough for her swollen joint and that didn't cost $100's (if I'm not sure it's going to work, I don't want to pay that much).This is definitely doing the trick! Lady is 160 lbs and is now 8'sh. (Mastiff's usually range between 7-9 years.) Mind you it's not stiff, so it won't straighten out the slightly curved in joint/leg, or help with the swollen joint, but the slipping has definitely gotten better - which keeps her walking - which keeps her healthy - which keeps her with us. She can even run a bit with it without tripping on her back leg! I was happy to see her run again. She isn't afraid of the stairs anymore either (we try to keep her off the stairs as much as possible though).I definitely recommend this. If needed, we will purchase more for future rescues. For the price, it's definitely worth it.My only issue is, this was the biggest size and for one of the straps, it's barely hanging on. But, that comes with having a mastiff. And a mastiff with swollen joints. (This probably wouldn't have fit her 200 lbs brother.)The velcro is holding out with daily use, and when she walks through tall grasses and sage. I haven't noticed it getting funky, which is good. She doesn't mind it on her leg and it doesn't rub her raw (which I was worried about). When I say walk, she'll wait to have it put on.Some people were wondering how tight to make it. I just lay it against her and then push the velcro into itself. I don't pull on the velcro to make it tighter and you wouldn't want it slipping around either (or it would rub). Just tight enough to stay put and not slide around.It says it's for support - that's exactly what it does. Don't expect it to do more.Very pleased!

I have a 13+ year retired old working dog. Her knees are arthritic but she thinks she can keep on moving. I had just a hock brace when she tore a ligament last year which I liked, but the chiropractic vet suggested something longer to wrap more of the leg. These do the trick and do help. However, she wears them everyday and I do remove them for time spells each day (usually at night) to give the leg opportunity to "breathe". It is an absolutely great idea and structure but I believe needs improvement. After 2 months the velcro straps are pretty much toast specifically the two bottom ones.Thicker neoprene like the hock wrap would be better even if were only at the bottom/top/middle. Consult with ortho vet might suggest the best placement. It would provide more stability yet be pliable. I have taken the thicker hock wrap( large) that I have and doubled up on top of these braces (medium) and it seems to help. I also think a left and right configuration would help. Trying to strap on the braces once or twice a day on the inside of the leg is doable but takes a bit more. That is minor but a suggestion for improvement. On the plus side, they breathe well, clean up and dry easily. We walk around on acreage that can be damp and muddy so a quick rinse and they dry easily

My dog sustained a rear hock injury for which my vet recommended purchasing a brace. Researched braces on line and here on Amazon and decided on Labra Extra Supportive brace based upon the company's description of the brace and some glowing reviews of the company's customer service. I carefully measured the dog prior to order. The brace is a light weight nylon (no padding) with adjustable velcro straps, which probably provides some light support but not what I would consider "extra supportive". However figured something was better than nothing, but unfortunately the brace (despite being the correct size) within about 4 days of off and on use rubbed a significant wound on the top of my dog's hock. I contacted Labra's customer service via email to see if they might advise on how to pad the brace to stop the rubbing. Noah the owner replied within two days, indicating that I should stop any use of the brace and he would send me a different type of brace that had a larger hock opening and more adjustability to try out free of charge. Noah wrote the new brace would be sent asap. Have to say at that moment I was pretty impressed by the care and responsiveness of the company! However, a month later and the replacement brace has never arrived and Labra (Noah) is not responding to follow up emails. I have to admit that I have been duped and that my dog's recovery from his injury has been significantly delayed waiting on this company. Don't make the same mistake with your dog!
