Fitting / Sizing Issues
If you are having any fitting/sizing issues, please reach out to consult with a KVP Orthotics representative.

Recommendations for Use
- During the period of restraint, it is advisable not to leave the dog alone for too long, because it might try to remove the brace by biting or scratching it.
- Be careful of the band when applying the brace to a male dog. When wrapping the band around the pelvis, pass the band in front of foreskin in order to avoid compressing the urethra.
