The brace helps dogs suffering from hip dysplasia, reducing pain by exerting bilateral compression on the hips.
It is also used for other pathologies (hip arthrosis for example). It is an excellent alternative to surgery in cases where the dog cannot be operated. It is made of breathable and washable material that is both retentive and compressive.
Advantages
BT Life consists of 2 rigid disks lined with a double layer of soft high density material. These disks act to compress both hips, increasing body temperature in the zone and thus reducing the pain caused to the dog by the pathology. Constant use of the brace leads to concrete well-being in the life of the dog, reducing part of the effects of dysplasia.
Features
Reduced pain thanks to bilateral compression of the hips.
Breathable fabric.
Easy fit.
Hand washable.
Adjustable straps and handles.
