CARPAL WRIST BRACES
If your dog limps or struggles with pain in their front wrists, dog carpal braces might be the solution you’re looking for. These braces control unwanted motion and provide stability, which eases discomfort from various ailments or conditions. A custom dog carpal brace can help your dog feel better and regain mobility for a better life.

TYPES OF CARPAL BRACES FOR DOGS
At My Pet’s Brace, we fabricate jointed and non-jointed dog wrist braces.
Non-jointed braces have solid backs to restrict all motion at the joint and provide maximum support.
Jointed braces enable flexion at the wrist joint. These braces have adjustable straps that control how much your dog can bend their wrist. As your dog’s injury or condition improves, the straps can be lengthened to increase the degree of flexion.
CUSTOM-MADE CARPAL DOG BRACES
The process of fitting your dog with a custom carpal brace starts with a cast of your dog’s leg. After we have the cast, we fabricate a unique brace for your dog’s specific needs.
In our opinion, off-the-shelf or standard-sized braces lack the support that is typically necessary for dogs with severe wrist conditions. What’s more, those options come in a few vague sizes, which lack the tailored fit to promote your dog’s comfort and mobility.
Design & Materials
We make each carpal brace with your dog in mind. Our team uses the same materials used for human wrist braces. Every carpal dog brace for hyperextension and similar injuries is engineered with:
- A rigid plastic superstructure: Durable, medical-grade plastic supports your dog's leg in the corrected or functional position.
- Foam padding: Antibacterial foam creates a soft layer of padding for your pet's comfort.
- Durable joints and screws: Strong joints and stainless steel screws can handle the rigor of your dog's daily use.
- Velcro straps: The brace features Velcro straps, so you can put it on and remove it with ease.
Removable
Shell Add-On
A removable shell is added to the front of the brace for dogs with osteosarcoma, or it can replace weekly re-castings. The shell’s material is breathable, but the leg stays completely enclosed for more protection.
Our experts, in conjunction with your local veterinarian, will determine whether a shell add-on for the brace is necessary for your dog’s wrist injury.
Uses of Dog Carpal Braces
Your dog may benefit from a carpal brace if they have a radial nerve injury, hyperextension of the carpal or knuckle, which is when they walk on the top of their paw. Our dog front wrist braces also address these carpal-related injuries to help increase your pet’s mobility and comfort:
- Carpal collapse
- Arthrodesis
- Fracture management
- Contracture management
- Osteosarcoma protection
