Pfaff Nature Pet Premium Carpal Splint/Carpal Joint Bandage for Dogs (Large)

My four legged companion thought she could fly and crashed though a second story window. She ended up damaging the soft tissue in both metacarpal joints in her front legs. I contacted the company to confirm sizing and make sure this product would do what I wanted. They were very quick to respond and exceedingly helpful. So I bought two of these to help provide support while she heals. They are very well made and fit wonderfully. They are quick and easy to take on and off. And they provide a good amount of support without completely immobilizing the joint. At this point my dog will wait until I have put them on before she walks around.I would not however leave a dog unattended with these on. At one point my dog decided she wanted the brace off and started chewing on it. While I quickly stopped her, she had started to tear one of the straps. I imagine she could quickly chew threw it considering how quickly she started to tear the strap.A large fits my 80 pound pitbull/german shepherd and it's well worth the 2 week wait as the product ships from Germany.

The product seems very sturdy. The sewing is all straight and the seams seem well bound. I hate ordering items and finding that the sewing is crooked, runs off the side, or has hanging threads everywhere. This was neat, straight and tidy. The metal stays are slightly malleable, and slide into the cleverly disguised (hard to see) pockets sewn from a tough woven material, nylon of some sort I think. My dog seems comfortable in it. She acted like her foot was gone for a few minutes, and then upon waving a cookie in her face, she totally forgot the brace existed and went right with life as if her foot had spontaneously reappeared. There is magic in every dog cookie apparently.I also wanted to note that this company has EXCELLENT, above all expectations, customer service. There was a slight problem with my order (the sizing didn't work out, despite falling in to the measurements for a medium, that was too tight.) and they were immediately on it and helping me get the right size, no problem at all. This company is in Germany, and the shipping was still fairly expedient for such a long trip. (To the US)For reference, my dog is a 60ish pound adult purebred Golden Retriever. She wears the large comfortably. I was NOT compensated for my review, this was a genuine purchase for a dog with a carpal hyper extension injury.

The brace is very good- I originally bought the medium, but it was just a little big for my border collie's skinny legs. The small is a much better fit. However I'm only giving it 4 stars because it took a full month to arrive form Germany!

Although it might be a good brace for just a little support, the brace seemed to slip easily and did not provide anything but minimal support. Had to find another brace on another site. Brace is of decent quality though, and seller provided product requested and in a timely manner.

Looks like it would work, but my dog died before it arrived, so did not use it.

They fit well and add a lot of support. My dogs has long thin legs, he's a great dane/German shepherd mix. These have really helped with stability. We do a couple days, couple days off, just to give him a break and I have to say they've helped with his strength and mobility. He's 13, so the help is needed. I would definitely recommend as they come with stiffer inserts if needed.

Falls apart fast

I bought this splint for a young goat that was born with ligament and tendon issues in her front legs. I had been wrapping for months with gauze and vet wrap. one leg was fine, the other would not fully extend allowing carpal bones to set right and hoof to plant correctly. From the moment I put it on her, she was at ease and the joint aligned, foot planted. as I trimmed her hoof to continue the support it's been perfect, using just the plastic splint supports rotated to front and back, instead of used as you would for a dog with carpal issues. Thank you for this well designed and constructed splint! I still have to wrap it bit of vet wrap around the velcro, she's a goat and velcro is way too much fun, the sounds are addictive to them! She now runs and plays like a young goat should!
