Boost Your Dog’s Recovery: Calm + Support with HealthyBud Calming Aid & Balto® Bracing
When your dog gets hurt or starts slowing down because of joint pain, it can be heartbreaking to watch. You want to help them heal faster — and feel like themselves again.
That’s why pairing Balto Braces with HealthyBud Calming Aid is such a powerful combo. One helps the body recover, the other helps the mind relax. Together, they support your dog’s comfort, confidence, and overall wellbeing — from the inside out.
The Problem: Healing is stressful (for both of you)
Injury recovery or arthritis care often means rest, restrictions, and new routines. Your pup may not understand why they can’t run, jump, or play like before.
That frustration often shows up as:
- Whining, pacing, or restlessness
- Trouble settling down for crate rest
- Stress during brace fitting or vet visits
- Difficulty sleeping or following movement limits
All that tension can make healing slower. But here’s the good news: you can make recovery calmer, smoother, and less stressful with the right tools.
Step 1: Give their body the support it needs
Balto Braces are designed to stabilize and protect joints while your dog recovers from injuries like ACL/CCL tears, arthritis, or knee surgery.
A well-fitted brace helps your dog:
- Move comfortably without over-straining injured joints
- Regain strength and confidence safely
- Prevent further injury to the “good” leg
- Stay active with less pain and inflammation
The Balto Jump Brace is especially helpful for dogs dealing with cruciate ligament injuries or arthritis flare-ups. It gives firm, balanced support without limiting natural movement — perfect for walks, rehab sessions, or supervised play.

Step 2: Help their mind and body relax
Rest is when healing happens, but anxious dogs often can’t settle long enough to rest well. That’s where HealthyBud Calming Aid comes in.
These delicious duck-flavored chews are made with natural calming ingredients like:
- Ashwagandha – helps manage stress and balance energy
- Chamomile – soothes nerves and supports better sleep
- Reishi mushroom – boosts the immune system
- L-Theanine – promotes relaxation without drowsiness
Perfect for:
- Dogs recovering from injury or surgery
- Pups adjusting to brace wear
- Storm, grooming, or travel stress
- General anxiety and hyperactivity
When your dog feels calm and safe, their body can focus on what matters most — healing.
Why they work better together
Balto Braces = physical stability. HealthyBud Calming Aid = emotional balance.
Used together, they create a complete recovery system that:
- Reduces stress (and the muscle tension that comes with it)
- Makes rehab and movement easier
- Helps your dog rest better between walks or therapy sessions
- Promotes a happier, smoother recovery process
It’s about more than mobility — it’s about helping your dog feel good again, inside and out.
How to use them together
- Check with your vet. Every recovery plan is unique. Your vet can confirm which brace and dosage are right for your pup.
- Start slow. Let your dog wear the brace for short periods and reward them with calm praise (and a HealthyBud chew!).
- Create calm moments. Give the calming aid 30–60 minutes before brace time, car rides, or rehab exercises.
- Stay consistent. Healing takes time. Daily use helps keep stress low and recovery on track.
- Celebrate progress. Whether it’s their first comfortable walk or a tail wag during crate rest, every small win matters.
