Hero Braces
Custom Dog Knee Brace for CCL/ACL Tears | Joint & Mobility Support | Hero 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.

Prevent Further Damage
An ACL tear causes a painful motion in the leg called the cranial drawer.
From the second your dog tears his or her ACL, three things happen:
- Muscles start to atrophy (get weaker and smaller)
- Arthritis formation starts
- You have a 60% chance to tear the other ACL
Fortunately, these common tear conditions can be prevented when your dog wears a durable and proven Hero Knee Brace. This knee brace provides sufficient leg support and allows your dog to start bearing weight sooner.
Hero Superpowers Include:
Avoid Surgery
Treatment with NO need for anesthesia. Dogs that have other diseases that prevent them from surgery can succeed too!
Maintain Muscle
Injured dogs don't use their legs, and the muscles lose mass quickly. Support lets them build back.
Comfy Fit
Custom braces give a more intimate fit that supports the leg better and is just more comfortable to your dog
Whole Body Health
When one limb is injured, the body finds ways to compensate. Save their back and other joints too!
Hiking Anyone?
Do dog knee braces work? Judge for yourself
Almost exactly one year after Wheeler tore his left ACL he has now torn his right ACL. Not wanting to do surgery again I looked for an alternative solution and found Go Hero Go dog braces. I wish I would have done this last year. - Jason Darrah - Primal Outdoors
****Please keep in mind, if your dog could not go hiking the second before their injury, be practical. Braces can help an ACL tear and they are not magic. Just know that we will do all we can to help you reach your goals.
How Do Hero Dog Knee Braces Work?
1. To diagnose an ACL tear, your Vet did a cranial drawer test. They shift the bones to see if the ligament is damaged, see RED arrows.
2. The Hero Brace is the only dog ACL brace designed to use plastic (instead of straps) to resist that motion, see GREEN arrows.
3. Why is that important? Over time Velcro straps weaken and fail. Plastic stays strong ensuring consistent support for the entire life of your dog.
Custom is Key!
There are over 200 breeds of dogs. How can 5 standard sizes possibly fit them all?
That's why we make custom ACL braces, so you have the best chance to succeed!
Make sure your dog is comfortable, choose custom fit not "One-Size-Fits-None"

What do Veterinarians Say?
As you know, in the real world, not all dogs can have surgery. For whatever reason, owners need another option to help their dog.
Comprehensive Vets bring you multiple options. Bracing helps those dogs who can't do surgery. Read our blog about how braces work.
Testimonials
Trying to save time? Consider a Custom brace vs. a Fabric brace.
How long will a fabric brace last on a dog? Maybe a better question is: how can fabric limit a bone's movement?
You only need ONE Custom Hero Brace for the life of your dog, thanks to our durable plastic guarantee.
