My 11 year old golden retriever hurt her knee a few months ago and we have tried lots of rest and meds from the vet, but she was really depressed. We tried this brace as a last resort to improve her quality of life and try to avoid surgery, and it is actually a life saver! My dog is used to wearing a vest, so she didn't mind wearing the brace, although it took her a minute to get used to it. She only wears it on walks and then we take it off at home to minimize any skin irritation or fur pulling. All her other joints are still in great shape thanks to years of glucosamine supplements, so hopefully this brace along with with med injections will let her enjoy her walks for years to come!
