Thanks for sharing this article. My 6 year old beagle recently tore her ACL and we opted for the TLPO surgery. Wanted to avoid further complications in the future or other possible tears which can be quite common. I had read in some forums online about the ortocanis dog knee brace and decided to try it for the post-op recovery process and I honestly think it played a part in her speedy, successful recovery. I hope we never have to go through anything like this ever again, but if it did happen I wouldn’t have done anything different.

Dog knee injuries unfortunately are really common and can lead to further complications if not treated properly or caught in time. We went through the experience of a torn ACl last year with our dog and we decided to treat her naturally without surgery.
Our vet suggested we get her a knee brace to help stabilize her knee while it was healing and ultimately we found the Ortocanis dog knee brace online which turned out to be perfect for us. The support it provides is moderate, but our dog was on complete bed-rest so it was definitely the amount of support she needed. It also has held up really well.. after almost a year of continued use it’s as good as new! Just like our dog!

How much of the Joint Resolution should we be giving our dogs? i have a 10 pound poodle who struggles with knee problems and pain. A supplement sounds like a great idea.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful post! It has helped my figure out ways how to help my dog who sprained his leg about a month ago. I ended up getting him a A-trac brace from Woundwear because I didn’t want to send him into surgery right away but after learning about more ways that I can help him get better he might not even need surgery. Yay!
