For pet to benefit from wearing a hip brace, your pet must be ambulatory and able to walk. The only exception is when you use the Hip-EEZ® with the Hip Donut Attachment, designed to help down dogs with decubitus ulcer treatment and prevention.
A pet that cannot stand or requires additional support to walk, will need a Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair. A wheelchair is often used to support dogs dealing with severe hip dysplasia. Wheelchairs help to reduce the weight placed on their aching joints and help them stay active.
