NeoAlly has developed the perfect mobility assistance device to help your dog. The dog leg brace with Metal Spring strips provides strong support to your dog's leg, while it is flexible enough to keep your dog moving her legs at her own pace. The metal spring strips are inserted into the brace, with no exposure to your dog's skin. The strips are removable. Based on your dog's condition you can remove or re-insert the metal strips with ease. We recommend to remove the metal strips and continue to use the braces after your dog has regained mobility. The dog brace is made of strong, durable and soft neoprene, and it is perforated - breathable and comfortable to wear. Even without the metal strips, the brace still provides good enough support to your dog's leg, and prevents her from licking wounds for fast healing. NeoAlly dog braces are designed to help your dog for an Active, Safe, Healthy and Happy Life!
