The Balto® Up rear harness offers enhanced mobility and instills confidence in pets, with the added assistance of pet owners if desired.

- Post-surgical mobility support
- Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture

BRACE FEATURES
- Two short airplane aluminum splints; run laterally alongside the body to provide structural support/ stiffness while mobile
- The brace can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis.
- Compression helps increase blood flow in the affected area, which helps reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation
- Adjustable straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit around the hind end

Non-neoprene
Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Up to Your Pet
Instead of neoprene, which is known to harbour bacteria, offer insufficient support, and wear out rapidly - all Balto® braces are crafted from high-quality, non-neoprene materials. Various sizes guarantee a snug fit. Specially designed to avoid pinching.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. For essential bracing in pets younger than two, use a brace for balanced intervals of time to avoid potential growth disruptions.

Maintenance & Repair
A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:
- Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
- Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
- By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
- Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
- Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
