"I recommend the carpal supports for any dog with carpal ligamentous instability to offer a moderate amount of support.  They are easily worn and accepted by the dogs and offer an alternative to the dog with carpal or wrist issues.  I also recommend the supports for athletic dogs that have had a carpal or wrist problem or are prone to a sprain.  They allow the normal amount of movement of the wrist, while preventing excessive mobility.  They are easily worn in sports such as agility, obedience, flyball, schutzhund, sledding and more.  They are one of my favorite dog products!"

This is my lead dog Bonnie. After running a 100 mile dogsled race she started to limp with a swollen wrist. The snow conditions were soft and at the speed she was running came up with a sore wrist that hurt to bend. I rubbed some oinment on the joint and put the carpal brace on. Bonnie is a high drive dog that does not like to relax. With the brace on she was able to move around in the yard without putting pressure on the wrist. I kept it on for 8hrs and then removed for the evening. I did this for 4-5 days and the swelling went down and she was able to race the following weekend. I have used wrist wraps in the past for sore wrist on my sled dogs but the carpal brace is much more supportive and manages the swelling much quicker.
