For many dogs, yes — but not all. The Woof Wize brace is designed as a non-surgical management tool for CCL and ACL injuries, and thousands of dogs have recovered fully without surgery while wearing it. However, we always recommend consulting your veterinarian, particularly for complete ruptures or dogs with significant joint instability.

95% of dogs accept the brace within 2–3 days. The soft neoprene construction avoids the rigid discomfort that causes rejection with hard-shell braces. Start with short 20-minute sessions and build to full-day wear over the first week.

That's exactly what our 60-Day Perfect Fit Guarantee is for. Email us a photo of the brace on your dog and we'll assess the fit and exchange for the correct size. If your dog falls outside of our size range, you may return the knee brace for store credit to apply towards a custom made brace (~$300-$400) or for any other product on our site.

We've helped thousands of customers dial in the right fit — it's one of the things we're best at

Most owners notice reduced limping and improved weight-bearing within 7–14 days. By weeks 3–4 many dogs resume normal walking and light activity. Significant mobility improvement is typically visible by 6–8 weeks of consistent daily wear. Results vary depending on injury severity, dog age, and how consistently the brace is worn.

Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. Remove the hinges before washing. Air dry only — do not machine wash or tumble dry as this can degrade the neoprene and velcro. Most owners clean the brace every 1–2 weeks during active use.
