During the first week, we recommend a gradual approach to ensure your dog acclimates perfectly to the support. For the right guide, follow the specific build-up schedule in your 30-day Recovery Roadmap.
Once your dog is fully adjusted, they should wear the brace during all active moments—such as walks, garden time, or climbing stairs—so the Dual-Hinge can provide 'external skeleton' stability. Always remove the brace at night or during long naps to allow the skin to breathe and the joint to rest.
