Their first steps after a nap matter most
Slippery floors, getting up after a long nap and everyday walks can all feel harder for older dogs with tired hips and back legs. The Dog Hip Brace & Rear Leg Support wraps the hips and both hind legs, adding support right where your dog needs it, so they can stand up, walk around and cross slick floors with a little more confidence.
- Up from a nap with more confidence
- Steadier across slick floors
- Support on everyday walks
One brace for hips and both back legs
A back panel that fastens at the neck connects to a sleeve on each back leg, so everything stays in place instead of slipping down as your dog moves. Metal strips in both leg sleeves add support, and hook-and-loop straps let you adjust the fit on each leg.
- Back panel links both leg sleeves
- Metal strips in each sleeve
- Adjustable on each leg
More than a single-leg brace
A single-leg brace supports one side. This one supports both sides at once, with fuller rear coverage across the hips and both hind legs, all held together by the back panel. It comes in four sizes, S to XL, for small to large dogs.
- Supports both sides at once
- Fuller coverage across the rear
- Sizes S to XL, small to large dogs

Which size should I get?

Will it slide down?
The leg sleeves connect to a back panel that fastens at the neck, which helps keep them from slipping down. Check the fit carefully the first few times your dog wears it.
Will my dog accept wearing it?
Introduce the brace gradually, starting with short sessions indoors with treats and praise. Every dog settles in at their own pace.
Does it help on slippery floors?
It's designed to help your dog move across slick floors with a little more confidence, with support for the hips and both back legs.
How long can my dog wear it?
Build up gradually, look for rubbing or redness after each use, and stay with your dog while it's on. Take the brace off for rest and check the skin under the straps.
