Knee Braces for Dogs
ACL/CCL tears are the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. A hind leg brace for your dog from My Pet’s Brace helps your pet live a happier life and get back to playtime after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)—called the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in dogs—injury.
Custom dog knee braces are a conservative management solution for dogs with full or partial CCL injuries. Most families are choosing bracing due to the senior age or health condition of their dog or the desire to avoid invasive and expensive surgery.

How ACL Knee Braces for Dogs Work
Our dog knee brace for ACL/CCL injuries and tears helps your pet return to normal activity levels. A knee brace:
- That occurs when the ACL/CCL is torn.
- Which reduces pain and increases mobility.
- So your pet regains their strength.
- Is jointed, so your dog can bend, sit, lie down, go for walks, and even swim while wearing the brace.
- In the beginning, there is a gradual break-in period with restricted activity.
- They no longer need to wear the brace after 9 months.
- Some senior dogs or very active pets may continue to wear the brace for extra support or as needed.
Pros for Dog Knee Braces:
- Excellent knee support for senior dogs
- Works well with pre-existing health conditions
- No post-surgery restrictions & crate rest
- More affordable than surgery
- A conservative management alternative to invasive surgery

CUSTOM BACK LEG KNEE BRACES FOR DOGS
Our custom-made knee braces are the most comfortable and effective braces for dogs with CCL injuries. The process starts with a cast of your dog’s leg so that we can provide the control necessary for the injury and account for every length and contour.
In our experience, soft, off-the-shelf or standard-sized braces made with thick fabric do not provide the necessary support for this injury. After all, how would a handful of sizes fit over 200 breeds of dogs?
