I have a 110 lb. german shep. with torn ACL, does anyone think this product would help, or even if it is big enough. Thank you.

Used this on my 100 lb Lab for several months until I could get her a new knee. It really seemed to help a lot. Have had many shepherds and believe it will fit yours also. Not a long term solution, but a great help for the short term. Not a full knee splint, but the support really helped her. She demands we play ball every day and then limped around all night. When we started with this it cut back the limping considerably. No guarantees, but it worked here. Was well worth the money for me.

Keep it inflated as snug as is comfortable. I don't know how large your dog is, but this collar restricts the dog's ability to bend down. Hope it works for you.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

Might work, we have a 100 lb lab mastiff mix that has room to spare. We use the tightest on everything with lots of room to let it out.

I think it would help. I use them on my 9.5 Greyhound to help her recover after competing, though she doesn't have an arthritis in her hocks yet. I have noticed that if she sleeps with the wraps on after a day of competing in agility, coursing, etc, she moves much better and ready to go for another day than if she doesn't

I would think so. We have a 13 pound schnauzer. It's adjustable. My recommendation is when you get it down to the size you want and cut off the extra, take a lighter and melt the end so it doesn't fray. We have loved this collar. These days we only have to get it out and show it to her, MAYBE make it beep the warning but rarely do we put it on her. We loved that it truly trained her rather than just be set to shock her any time she barked. We were truly able to train her not to bark. I highly recommend. Good luck!!

Hi- no way, it was a horrible experience for my 19lb Schnoodle! Do not recommend! I sent mine back.

My dog is a pug/affenpinscher mix. He's 20lb and about 12" at the shoulder and his hind leg is too short. A 6-inch or maybe 5.5 might have been ok. I think these are best for longer leg dogs. Also make sure the knee is the problem, I thought it was my dog's knee and it was his hip. I just had to visit the right vet.

I have two different size dogs. It seem to work better for my dog who weighs about 60lbs my other dog who weighs about 80lbs it wouldn't stop her. But I think also matters how old your dog is. If you start them as a puppy they respond better than being an older dog

YES!!! I would test it ... my less then 40lb dog ripped the TIE-ins that I anchored into my tree right out of the tree. If you have an active, strong dog, I think it will be ripped out when your dog is running hard. AGAIN! I used (2) trees in my back yard. Good luck! FYI: I still have my "stuff" never asked for a refund.

It's definitely sturdy and wide enough. Follow the below advice and you'll be all set. Hope the ACL surgery gets your dog back in stride.

I have an ACL tear with meniscus injury post recon, but my knee still buckles from time to time with certain activities. I bought this guard for my recent trekking trip to Nepal and my knee held up pretty well with it.. Up till the day of the descent of 4hrs, when the knee gave way. The swelling was minimal though and I recovered in abt 2days. Not too bad, so think the guard must have helped.

You could help a little but not too much. The straps are designed to pull back on a dog that's lunging forward. If you pull forward/upward, the front strap becomes useless and the bottom strap will dig into the dog's armpits. If it is just a little weight/pressure it will be ok. But too much force and that bottom strap will be very uncomfortable for the dog, plus the whole harness could slip off.

Bought this for my 11 lb. JRT. I must have bought the smallest one, but don't really recall because it was almost a year ago. The tension was way too tight for her, she couldn't pull it out at all. It was actually comical - she just stood there and looked at me like "what the heck"! I had to return it. Probably be ok for a 35 lb dog though. Good luck!

depending on the size of dog you have the collar will fit a large dog with no problems. I have no issues with my german sheperd. If you have a medium size dog like my mini aussies you will have alot of excess and it gets alittle difficult trying to place the collar correctly where it wont slide and not too loose.

I don't have dogs, but it does give pressure relief to me, especially the hips and I weigh a bit more than your dog, so I think it would be a benefit.

I don't know if your pug is paralyzed, or what the issue is. I highly recommend the drag bag for indoor and outdoor use. It has been very helpful for my paralyzed dachsund I got the medium. He was 29lbs and about 25in at the waist at the time. He has gone to 23 lbs, not sure on the waiste right now but it has been a huge help for us!!!
