I am confused about where I should measure from. My boxer has a tear in her right knee and is limping around. Vet has said the same thing.

If the muscle is in the hock area the wraps will probably help. You can go to the Back on Track website to get a lot ore information. But for measuring you want to measure the circumference of the leg just above the hock and just above the ankle. The length is from about midpoint between knew and hock to just above the ankle. My guess for a boxer would be either small or medium size (unless she is a puppy, then definitely small)

I don't know how helpful it would be for a knee tear. It is really more for the hock area

Yes- My boxer had ACL surgery- it's a long recovery but Mine fullly recovered and was wild as ever once finished.

Hi Carlie, I took a tape measure and went around me dogs chest "like when a suit maker measures your chest". This harness is great and worth the money.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large. I think that is what I measured as well Dorene...

I have a boxer and I got her a large. She's about 50 lbs. It fit her really well. After a few hours she didn't even know it was on... Until she got stuck in the doggy door :). It's so much better than the plastic cone of death.

Our boxer is around 90lbs and we purchased the 60-100lb wheelchair it seems to fit him well. We haven't had the opportunity to have him really test it out as of yet but he seems comfortable in it. We had used a wheelchair prior to this one but it was made for a female german shepherd and you could clearly see the discomfort on his face. My personal opinion would be to go with the 60-100lb size but I would contact the seller first to see what their more expert opinion is.

A soft tape measure is what I utilized per my orthopedic doctor's instruction. Otherwise measure with a shoe string and place it on a hard tape measure. Each strap has a range size that will tell you what size to order based upon the measurment around your knee. I recommend Nike vs. Pro-Tec - better made product. Good luck!

I would check first with my vet. I wold think that the adult would be fine but it is best to check.

I disagree with the others. My knee was 17.5" when I ordered and probably a touch more now since I've gained a few pounds, yet I've had to pull the brace up several times today, my second day with it, just sitting and walking around.

hmm this is at my Mom's. I didn't bother measuring it. Are you referrng to the same item? I was expecting that if it says X, then that's what it would be. When I go there again, I will measure it for you, but will say that some of the negative comments I read was not what I found. I find it safe and sturdy for her and that was most important to me. I wish it was a bit lower.

I don't think you will be disappointed. My dog is only 3 years old and has had bad rear knees and hips. Too much that surgery is not an option. So now she is at least comfortable. Keeping her weight down helps too. I'm in Newport Beach, Ca. So nice to talk to someone half way around the world. It's 83 and sunny here today.

Yes, it will work fine for your boxer. My three dogs are around 60lbs each and it works fine for them. One even has dew claws on his rear legs.

I took the measurements of my knee from the center of the knee cap up about 41/2 inches and then around the leg in that area. My knee brace was just right and feels good. Best of luck.

Measure roughly 6 inches below your knee joint while your knee is bent at a thirty degree angle. Convert it from inches to centimeters and I recommend going one size down from the chart. Might be a little snug at first, but you will immediately feel the support.

Hello, I bought it for our golden who has had four knee surgeries when I got it he weighed 70lvs and now he is 105 and after adjustments it was a little snug on top of his shoulders but it still fit and he walked around as if no problem. After this I took it off and put it on our pit who weighs 50 lbs she's short and sticky adjusted it and it fit her just fine as well. I would recommend it because for our golden who had the surgeries it's a lot less impact vs having the leash attached to the collar. Also I bought a xl

I would suggest you measure your dog to find out. Go across the front of his/her chest where the dog is widest.

I was confused on how to measure this as well. I went with XL for my black lab who is about 95lbs. And it was a bit too small I think.
