A dog’s weight does not tell us where the knee sits, how long the lower leg is, or how the limb carries load. That is why a custom brace begins with the individual dog—not a standard size chart.
Every leg is different
Breed, body shape, leg length, circumference and joint position all affect how a brace sits and moves. Two dogs at the same weight can require very different shell geometry and hinge placement.
What the custom process considers
- Seven individual leg measurements
- Standing side photos with the full rear leg visible
- Affected-leg confirmation
- Joint and hinge alignment
- Strap position and contact areas
Generic sizing versus individual construction
| Generic brace | K9BracePro custom brace |
|---|---|
| S / M / L / XL size range | Seven individual measurements |
| Standardized shape | Shell geometry built for one leg |
| Mostly self-fitted | Photos and measurements reviewed by a Fit Coordinator |
No measurements are required at checkout. Your Fit Coordinator guides the process afterward.
Fit is a process, not a dropdown
The order starts with a weight tier and color. After checkout, your Fit Coordinator confirms the affected leg, requests the required photos and guides each measurement before production begins.
