The Balto® Jump Dog Knee Brace is a trusted, veterinarian-approved solution designed to stabilize your dog’s knee when injuries or chronic conditions affect their mobility. One of the most common injuries in dogs is a Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) tear, which can cause pain, limping, and long recovery times. Whether your pet is struggling with a full or partial CCL tear, a luxating patella (kneecap dislocation), arthritis, arthrosis, varus/valgus instability, or general knee weakness, the Balto® Jump provides advanced support to help them stay active and comfortable.
This brace is made from breathable, non-neoprene material that won’t trap heat or moisture against your dog’s skin. It’s lightweight yet durable, with washable components for easy cleaning so your pup can keep enjoying life while you keep their brace fresh. Designed alongside veterinary professionals, the Balto® Jump is a preferred choice for dogs who need stability, whether they are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or as an alternative to surgery.
- Why pet parents choose the Balto® Jump:
- Supports recovery from injuries and surgery: Helps stabilize the knee following common procedures such as TPLO, TTA, ELSS, or MPL, or can be used as a non-surgical alternative when surgery isn’t an option.
- Helps with chronic knee conditions: Provides relief from arthritis, arthrosis, and ongoing knee pain by reducing strain and inflammation.
- Adjustable, comfortable fit: Features adjustable upper and lower straps, plus a supportive abdominal band, so the brace stays secure even on active dogs.
- Customizable support: Includes angled aluminum splints to limit harmful side-to-side motion when needed, or can be worn without splints for conditions like arthritis. An extra stabilization strap is provided for energetic or athletic dogs.
- Vet-approved, dog-friendly design: Compression helps improve blood flow, easing stiffness and discomfort, while the non-neoprene material ensures all-day comfort.
The Balto® Jump can also be used for preventative support in healthy dogs, especially senior pets, overweight dogs, or highly active dogs who may overcompensate and strain their joints. Available in XX-Small through X-Large sizes (left or right orientation), there’s an option to fit nearly every breed and build.
With the Balto® Jump, your dog doesn’t have to sit out from the activities they love. It’s a proven way to give them the comfort, stability, and mobility they deserve.

- Is the Left or Right orientation from my point of view, or my dog’s?
- The orientation is your dog’s point of view, you can also distinguish this by standing behind them. For example, “right” is your dog’s right leg just as your (human) “right” leg is your right leg.
- Does it come with straps?
- Yes! All knee braces come with anchor kits, which make up all the straps needed to assemble the brace.
- Do the straps fit the same way for females and males?
- How do I purchase a knee brace for both knees?
- To purchase a bilateral knee brace, shop Bundles. Bracing both knees is an excellent way to support a second injured knee, or to support the healthy one that is bearing additional stress while the injured knee heals.
- My dog does not wear collars, how do I attach the back strap?
- The back strap can attach to either a body/ torso harness or a collar. For the best support, getting a collar or harness is advised. There are several more affordable options on online stores like Amazon or your local store that carries pet supplies.
- I need to replace the straps, can I purchase more?
- Absolutely! Visit Brace Parts to purchase separate anchor kits for the brace. Whether your pet chewed on the straps, they were lost, or you accidentally cut too short, spare parts are available for replacement on most braces.
