A-trac Dynamic Brace frustrations

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just had my first experience with the A-trac Dynamic brace. I am not

impressed. The application of the brace is somewhat difficult to understand.

The dog that I am working with is an overwt, stumpy legged beagle with acute

bilateral cruciate ruptures. I ordered him a brace for the left hind to support

it while we do surgery on the right hind (the more painful of the 2). When he

sits down the brace doesn't stay in place (and I have it tight!). It seems to

hinder him more than help him. I called the company and they were quick to send

me another brace for the right hind (instead of the cuff), however they won't

take the braces back. They are not " special order " sizes, and I haven't even

opened the right hind brace package yet. The braces have not even left my

building.

The dog is up and walking now, thank goodness. Just wanted to let everyone know

to be SURE that you can use/will use the product before ordering!!!

I wish they would be as easy to work with as Therapaw.
