Ligatek – Adjustable Hinged Knee Brace

Dog did not tolerate hinged

. We had our doubts with which brace the vet recommended. My understanding is both are CCL braces. We probably should have got the one WITHOUT the metal brackets... would have gotten more use. Our dog has very long, very thin legs and just couldn't manage the weight of the brace. The brace seems to look as it would work if my dog wasn't so dainty.

Fitment Issue/Return Policy

The XL was not large enough to properly fit our Great Dane's swollen knee depite measurements indicating it should. After numerous attempts to get her accustomed to it and trying to get it to fit - there was a lot of hair in the velco. I attempted to clean it, but anyone that has tried to get short, fine dog hair out of velcro knows it's nearly impossible. I did not return it because I could not get all the hair out of it and did not want to pay to ship it back and risk not getting a refund. Had it fit properly, I believe this would have been a great product. I will likely donate it to someone else in need of a brace. Our girl has since crossed over to the rainbow bridge, so I can't go back in time to check - but I wonder if perhaps her knee had swollen more from the time I measured and ordered the brace until it arrived a week or so later. Thus, I would suggest changing your instructions to add a "re-measure" step just prior to trying to fit the brace on the dog in case swelling changed the measurements. This might help someone else avoid the fitment frustration and "hair in velcro" that I encountered.
