Yes, all braces include the anchor kits when applicable.

Although our braces are not custom fit braces, Balto® Canada provides you with several sizing choices.

On each product’s page there will be a sizing guide. Use the sizing guide to find the most appropriate size for your pet. If you are having trouble with the measurements, feel free to reach out to one of our customer service specialists or your licensed veterinarian for assistance. Unfortunately, some pets will fall in between sizes. When this happens, you should always go with the smaller size, as bracing devices should be snug and apply compression. Compression helps with increasing the blood flow in the injured area and in response causes reduced swelling and discomfort.

Signs that your brace might be too large include “gapping” between the brace and your pet, sliding, and twisting of the brace. Signs that your brace might be too small might include chaffing, erythema, or discomfort. If you notice any of these signs happening, please reach out to one of our customer service specialists for assistance.

No, bracing is most effective when used in conjunction with surgery. This includes pre-surgical support and in cases when surgery is not an option due to the health or age of the animal. Bracing also helps post-surgically by limiting the range of motion (ROM), encouraging healthy joint movements, providing compression to help with pain and swelling, limit further risk, promote healing, and provide confidence in mobility.

Keep the skin and hair that comes into contact with the brace clean and make sure to remove any excess hair from the brace (and Velcro®) after each use.

We used to! And while custom bracing has helped a good many pets, it comes with it's own set of challenges and the costs can add up quick! We like to say that with our large variety of sizes, we are as close to custom, without actually being custom.

• Allow up to two weeks for your pet to fully adjust to the brace.

• Wear the brace for 30 minutes a day, increasing 30 minutes each day after that, for up to 12
hours.

• Consult your veterinarian for specific instructions on when, and for how long, your pet should wear the brace.

• Inspect your pet for signs of rubbing or skin irritation. If any are present, contact your
veterinarian.

• Remove the brace when your pet sleeps at night.

• The brace should not be worn if your dog is unsupervised.

• Prior to washing, take out the splints and remove any excess hair, dirt, etc. from the brace.

• Carefully hand wash the brace with warm water and a gentle, diluted soap.

• Allow the brace to fully air-dry before reapplying the brace to avoid irritation to your pet’s
skin.

Excessive use, harsh cleaning, or accumulation of hair, dirt, etc. can wear down the materials of
the brace.

• Wipe the brace clean after every use and remove excess hair, dirt, etc. from the brace.

• Keep any skin or hair that encounters the brace clean.
