The Balto® Lux addresses injuries and congenital disorders of the shoulders in dogs. This canine glenohumeral (shoulder) brace is a great solution for dogs suffering from limited mobility. This breathable compression brace, made with non-neoprene material, provides stability and support to your dog's shoulders without severely compromising natural movement. This shoulder brace is an excellent option for dogs in need of additional support while maintaining an active lifestyle.
Brace Applications:
Sprains and strains of the shoulder
Post-surgical support
Structural support for soft tissue injuries to the glenohumeral joint
Chronic shoulder pain management
Wound management; protection of bandages from biting, licking, gravity and friction
Brace Features:
Includes internal stiffeners to increase or decrease compression as needed
Optional hobble strap included for a “shoulders-width” snug fit
The brace compresses both shoulders simultaneously for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis.
Compression helps increase blood flow in the affected area, which helps reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation
Adjustable padding and straps that can be lengthened or shortened to ensure an excellent fit
All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.

Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.

Helped my beloved Lab "Buck"
This brace really helped my old dog with some much needed stability. There were no other options for him. Surgery and therapy were not available. This brace allowed my "Buck" to walk with out spraying. I would recommend this brace if you dog has shoulder stability issues. (*there is a learning curve so follow instructions on fit and "breakin")

Difficult
Very difficult to put on. Velcro sticks to every part, not always the spot you are trying to velcro it to.

Room for improvement
Constructed well, a good brace, but my dog has short legs and it covers his elbows. This makes it impossible for him to get up when laying down.
Would be nice if the leg wrap was in sections and could be removed. I will be returning the brace.

Hi Donna! We are sorry to hear that the brace did not work out for your dog. Unfortunately, our braces are not custom and don't work out for every conformation. However, we will pass along your suggestion to our production team. Please let us know if you need any assistance with your return. You can contact us at - support@baltousa.com

Jake is a 13.5 year old male Pug suffering from severe arthritis and instability to his right shoulder. Patient has significant arthritis to all four limbs, being treated with pain management and acupuncture. Radiographs were taken and sent to orthopedic specialist to evaluate. Due to his age and overall condition owner did not want to do any type of surgical procedure, so getting a brace was the only hope we had for him.
Jake started with the brace on for 2 hours a day for 3 days. The owner reported that he started walking more within the first three days. His progress has since continued to be remarkable day by day as we've seen the brace providing Jake with the stability he needs. After two weeks we started using laser treatment on top of the brace use, and he is like a puppy again and wants his brace on every day!
