Our pup just lost his right foreleg to cancer and, as a large 75lb boy, was struggling with the extra weight on his remaining leg. He was hyperextending his carpus quite dramatically and we knew he needed some extra support. After a little research we settled on the Balto Carpal Laxity Splint and it's absolutely brilliant. It's easy to fit and doesn't slip once it's in place. He stands beautifully with a lovely straight carpus and seems to have more confidence, too! It's so clear that he's more comfortable, we're delighted. About to order a hock support to help with his overcorrecting on his left hind.
Hi Frankie, thank you for sharing your heartwarming experience with our Carpal Laxity Splint. We're incredibly touched to hear how our splint has helped your brave boy adjust after his amputation. It's wonderful to know that the splint has provided the essential support he needs, improving both his stance and confidence. Your trust in our products means the world to us, and we're honored to be a part of your pup's journey towards increased mobility and comfort.
It’s slippery on tile floor. That is not good!
Hello! The Balto Splint Brace is to be used with a non-slip dog sock or shoe. This is not only to prolong the durability of the brace but to prevent any slipping on tile floor. Reach out to our customer service department if you need any additional assistance.
Nervous about using. She looks uncomfortable with it on. I have to get in a routine to put it on every day. She appears sore after wearing balto splint. I am sure that happens. Haven't had it long enough to get it down to a science. Thanks for asking. Try try again
Hi Theresa, thank you for leaving a review with us. Allow up to two weeks for your pet to fully adjust to the brace. Apply the brace for 30 minutes a day, increasing each day with 30 minute increments, for up to 12 hours. Consult your veterinarian for specific instructions on when, and for how long, your pet should wear the brace. Feel free to email us if you have any questions or concerns regarding the brace.
So far they are helping my dog walk a lot better
I was so glad to find this splint for my dog! Balto is the ONLY company that makes something like this. My 12 year old Border Collie went through hell during a failed surgery to fix a fracture. His lower leg is now compromised due to an infection after the surgery and no can guarantee that it can be fixed again. I didn't want him to suffer any more, so I started looking for braces/splints. After trying many, many options, I came upon the Balto Splint. It's the best thing I have found for him. Thank you for creating this.
Hi Dinah, thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review! We are very pleased to hear that the Balto Splint Brace has worked well for you and your fur baby.
