When dogs suffer injuries to the joints of the lower leg, such as the hock joints, most of the time there are traumatic causes behind why they have occurred. In connection with injury to these complex joints, the ligaments are often affected in some way. Either by tearing, bursting or stretching. The healing period is long and the dog needs support around the joint so that the injury does not worsen during the healing period. A well-fitted joint protector that repels water is important as the joint protector comes close to the ground and gets wet easily. A wet joint protector cools the joint and hinders the healing process.
Rehab hock protectors are made of neoprene and are waterproof. The entire inside of the joint protector remains dry even in extremely adverse weather conditions. The hock protector is placed with the tip of the hock through the opening of the protector and then stretched around the leg above and below the joint.
