Hero Leg Braces

The Hero Braces Custom Dog Knee Brace (Stifle Brace) is the premier, veterinary-owned solution for Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL/ACL), Stifle joint instability, and arthritis. This brace is fully custom-made from a mold of your dog's leg, ensuring a perfect, non-slipping fit that encourages immediate weight-bearing and faster recovery without the need for surgery. Designed by human prosthetists, our unique, lightweight plastic design directly resists the painful "cranial drawer" motion caused by an ACL tear, providing superior and consistent stability compared to generic soft braces or those relying solely on weakening straps.

Key Features & Design Advantages

100% Custom-Fit: Engineered from a physical mold of your dog's limb for an intimate, comfortable, and therapeutic fit. Accommodates dogs from 4 lbs up to 214 lbs.

Superior Stability: Uses durable plastic, not Velcro straps, to actively resist the Cranial Drawer motion (ACL instability), guaranteeing support for the entire life of your dog.

Ultra-Lightweight & Waterproof: Allows for full activity, including playing and swimming (a perfect recovery exercise).

No Restrictive Harness: Secures using a simple under-sleeve system, simplifying on/off and leaving the other limbs free to move naturally.

Durable, Guaranteed Components: Urethane joints and plastic shell are guaranteed for the life of your dog.

Made in the USA: Veterinary-Owned and Prosthetist-Designed for maximum effectiveness and comfort.

The Hero Braces Custom Dog Ankle Brace (Tarsus/Hock Brace) is the definitive, veterinary-backed solution for severe hind leg instability, including Achilles tendon ruptures/tears, Tarsal Hyperextension, and mobility issues arising from neurological conditions like Degenerative Myelopathy (DM).

Every brace is 100% custom-made from a physical mold of your dog's leg, guaranteeing a perfect, non-slipping fit that no off-the-shelf brace can match. This lightweight, yet durable plastic design stabilizes the hind limb, restoring a solid, natural standing position to help your dog play sooner and prevent secondary injuries.

Key Features & Biomechanical Technology

100% Custom Fit: Engineered to your dog's unique anatomy for maximum comfort and therapeutic function. Our custom approach ensures success across all breeds and sizes.

Achilles & Tarsal Stabilization: Utilizes a precise 3-Point Force System that counters the body's weight and ground reaction forces to prevent the ankle joint from collapsing, effectively stabilizing the limb.

Hock Biomechanics: Specifically addresses the "tip-toe" mechanics of a dog's hock joint to provide lasting support against breakdown due to age, injury, or weight.

Durable & Waterproof: Constructed to be durable and waterproof, allowing your dog to walk, run, and explore again without the brace wearing out.

Supports Full Body Health: By correcting the standing position, the brace helps prevent strain and soreness in your dog's back and other joints caused by compensating for a weak hind leg.

Treatment without Surgery: Provides a highly effective alternative to surgery, reduces risk of injury to the opposite leg, and can improve surgical outcomes when used as a post-operative therapy tool.

Primary Uses: Achilles Ruptures, Achilles Tears, Tarsal Hyperextension, Hock Instability, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) Support, Hind Leg Joint Support, and Mobility Aid.
