overview

The Balto Jump Knee Brace can be used as an alternative to surgery if the patient is not an ideal candidate, for pre/post-surgical support, and contralateral support to prevent new cranial cruciate ligament injuries. The brace can also be used without splints for compression to support conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis. This brace has two pockets, which contain angled splints to restrict the movement of the knee when necessary. Additionally includes features for active dogs such as a strap to secure the brace to the collar of the dog, and a second stability strap that can be secured to the opposite leg. Can be adjusted for both male and female dog anatomy.

Full Description

Read a peer-reviewed article about the brace here.

The Balto® Jump is designed to support one of the most common injuries in canines, Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) trauma. Affecting millions of patients annually, CCL injuries include:

  • Full or partial tearing of the ligament
  • Luxation of the patella
  • Knee joint conditions such as arthritis, arthrosis and varus/valgus instability

It can also be used as an alternative to surgery if the patient is not an ideal candidate, pre/postsurgical support, and contralateral support to prevent new injuries.

The Balto® Jump has two pockets which contain angled splints that help restrict the lateral movement, otherwise referred to as a drawer movement, of the knee when necessary. An abdominal band ensures the brace is secured around the dog. An additional stabilization strap is provided for more active animals.

The brace can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis. Compression helps increase blood pressure in the area, raising the temperature of the immediate area and helping to reduce pain.

Using the Balto® Jump on both the left and right knees can also help with cases related to:

  • Senior dogs as a result of general degenerative process
  • Overweight dogs dealing with high pressure on their good leg
  • Active dogs with an important compensation behavior

Features:

  • Removable aluminum splints
  • Straps can be trimmed for a secure and custom fit
  • High quality breathable fabric
  • Additional compression
  • Comfortable to wear
  • Hand washable (always remove the rigid splints before washing)
  • Available in 6 sizes and as left or right knee

Quick Tips

  • Allow up to two weeks for your pet to fully accept the brace
  • Wear the brace for 30 minutes a day, increasing 30 minutes each day after, for up to 12 hours
  • Consult your veterinarian for specific instructions on when to wear your brace
  • Remove the brace when your animal sleeps at night
  • Inspect your pet for signs of skin irritation. If any are present, contact your veterinarian
  • In addition to wiping the brace clean, keep skin and fur that comes into contact with the brace clean
  • Inspect your brace regularly for any damage

It’s a good fit with ample support.

My dog likes the brace. It seems or fit well and it provides stability to the joint. The only difficulty we have is with putting the brace on. All of the straps have Velcro and they stick to everything, including themselves. We understand that in order to be adjustable for different shapes and sizes of dog, Velcro provides the easiest answer for proper fit.

Buy for both legs

If you can swing it, buy it for Both sides. We put our cockapoo in a brace on the Jump on Both sides. I've read too much they can put too much weight on just one side. Anyway, you can tell from my 5 star review, it worked. We put her in the braces for about two months, had a very strict diet to lose weight, and were able to avoid surgery. She's about 90% back to her old self, and still getting better. I highly recommend it. Just give your pup a break from the braces at night.

Hi there! Thank you for the positive review. We are so happy that the braces are working out well for your dog. Contralateral support is always a good idea when an injury or surgical procedure has occurred.

Size to order

I measured then remeasured again and ordered the product according to the measurements. The size is too big and I’m still waiting to hear back for a replacement.

Django likes it

My dog seems to like. Not in the way for belly scratches and doesn't seem to rub him wrong.

I say enough great things about this company and this brace!

Our Kira girl did beautiful with the Balto Jump Knee Brace! We opted out of doing a surgery last year when she tore her CCL and decided to brace... supplement ... treat with rest and give this method a good go! With the care and rest she needed her left leg is doing fantastic! I would recommend getting braces for both legs to not have so much pressure on stronger leg and they can hook together while healing. Went for Vet check up today and they were highly impressed with her recovery. Take the time in healing (it is a process) and you may be as happy as we are! Kinsley couldn't have been nicer to work with as well! Very responsive and fully listened to all my questions! From the first week with the brace and then back to her lizard hunting with her brother :)
