Finally, there's a little help out there for dogs in the early stages of degenerative neurological disease who "knuckle," or walk on the tops of their hind paws. This adjustable, lightweight boot-and-wrap combination helps to reduce knuckling by stabilizing the tarsal/hock flexion and digital extension, or in plain English, by gently helping the dog place his or her rear feet. The Dorsi-Flex Assist is easy to put on and take off, and it cleans easily by rinsing in warm water. Can be used on both back feet simultaneously.
DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE ON DOGS WITH SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENTS.
Perfect for pets who are: suffering from degenerative myelopathy, hip dysplasia, arthritis, IVDD, or old age; weak in the rear legs.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT SIZE FOR YOUR PET:
1) Trace an outline of your pet's foot on a piece of paper. (If your pet can bear weight on the foot while you trace, all the better.)
2) Measure the length and width of your pet's foot.
3) Find the correct size for your pet on the chart below, keeping your pet's weight in mind as you choose:
SIZE | WIDTH | LENGTH | WEIGHT |
S | 2.5" | 3" | 40-70 lbs |
M | 2.75" | 3.5" | 60-90 lbs |
L | 3" | 3.75" | 80-110 lbs |
XL | 3.5" | 4.25" | 100-130 lbs |
