Dog ACL & Knee Braces

Dogs with a suspected or diagnosed cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) problem need an individual plan from a veterinarian. “ACL” is often used in searches for canine knee support, but a brace cannot diagnose the cause of limping or repair a ligament. These products provide external support options; which style, if any, is suitable depends on the dog, the injury and the treatment plan.

Compare the support styles

The collection includes several designs. Coverage, construction, side selection and fit differ by product, so use the product page as the source for its exact measurements and options.

• Flexible knee sleeve: The everyday sleeve is listed in XS–L. Check the product photos to confirm coverage and use that listing’s chart to choose a size.
• Hinged single-leg brace: A more structured design for one leg; the single-side model is listed in L/XL with left/right choices. Confirm current variants on its product page.
• Reinforced hinged brace: A reinforced hinged model is listed in XS–XXL. Do not transfer measurements from another brace in this collection.
• Dual-leg option: A two-sided configuration with M/L/XL options. Confirm the side selection and current availability on the product page.
• Combined hip-and-knee support: A design with different coverage from a knee-only sleeve, listed in XS–L. Review the product images and description to confirm where it sits.

Check fit and use

Start with the exact product’s size chart. Measure the body areas requested in that chart and follow its instructions for posture and tape placement; breed, weight and another model’s size are not reliable substitutes. If the chart offers left/right or one/two-leg choices, confirm those before ordering.

Follow the product’s wear and care instructions and any directions from your veterinarian. Check the skin and coat regularly for rubbing, pressure marks, swelling or slipping. Stop use and seek advice if your dog seems more uncomfortable or the brace does not stay in place. Ask your vet how the brace should fit into activity, rehabilitation or post-operative care.

Make a short list before choosing

After narrowing by coverage, check the exact side and current size and variant options. A dual-leg setup has different fit requirements from a single-leg brace, and product size ranges vary across sleeve and hinged styles. Confirm package contents and stock on the listing, then use the size chart for that item. If the chart or fit is unclear, ask your veterinarian before ordering.
