The DogLeggs' Rear Leg Hobble System provides an improved solution to traditional bandage hobbles. It limits abduction of the hind limbs, is easy to apply, and offers superior comfort for the animal. It is machine washable and can be re-used for other animals of similar size. The system is comprised of two adjustable cuffs, each with a ring connector that accommodate the hobble strap. The cuffs secure with hook and loop fastening. The hobble strap length is adjustable. For dogs with neurologic dysfunction, a more rigid item, such as a pool noodle can be placed around the hobble strap to prevent adduction during supervised rehabilitation therapy if desired.
This product is available and ships to the veterinary professional only.
Product Construction: The cuffs of the DogLeggs' Rear Leg Hobble System are made from a closed cell foam with synthetic rubber material and are laminated with a nylon jersey fabric. They are lightweight yet durable and have incredible tensile strength. The cuffs secure with hook and loop fastening. The hobble strap is made from hook and loop material. The product is machine washable.
