overview

The Balto Life Brace bilaterally reduces pain by exerting compression on either side of the hips. It is effective for all degrees of dysplasia including degree E (the most severe) and hip arthrosis. This brace serves as an excellent alternative to surgery in cases where the dog is not an eligible candidate for surgery. Made of breathable and washable material that is both retentive and compressive. This brace comes with 2 adjustable-length handles that hook to the body of the brace for owner-assisted mobility and can used to help the dog get into or out of a car or on stairs. The handles can be removed if they are not necessary.

Excellent Craftsmanship

Although the sizing didn’t work for our dog, the craftsmanship of the brace was excellent. The design is smart and well thought out and had it fit, I am confident it would have helped his hip dysplasia. Customer service was also very responsive when we initially exchanged the large for a medium and then having to return the medium for a refund. If and when our dogs need anything like this in the future, we will certainly return to BaltoUSA first.

This brace and this company are great

This brace and this company are great. Appreciate everything that these folks have done for me and my pet unfortunately she is just too small for the specific size brace. But it looks as if it would work great on an average or larger animal. Truly appreciate your patience and everything that they did for us in our fur baby! Thank you Jerry McCarty
