When your dog's elbows are causing them pain, the right support can make a world of difference. These veterinarian-designed elbow pads from Ortocanis are a specialist orthopaedic solution for dogs suffering from hygromas, bursitis, elbow dysplasia, osteoarthritis, joint instability, and post-operative recovery.

Made from high-quality supportive neoprene, the brace generates gentle therapeutic warmth around the joint, helping to ease arthritic discomfort, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility with every step. An extra-thick protective patch shields the elbow from hard floors and impact surfaces — making this brace particularly well-suited to large and heavy breeds who are prone to pressure sores and hygroma development.

The adjustable design ensures a secure, comfortable fit without restricting your dog's natural range of movement, so they can continue to walk, rest, and recover in comfort. Whether your dog is managing a chronic condition or bouncing back from surgery, these elbow pads offer meaningful, day-to-day relief.

Ortocanis is a trusted European brand with a long-standing reputation among vets and physiotherapists for producing high-quality orthopaedic aids for dogs. Sold as a pair to provide balanced support across both front legs.

N/A

1. Measure your dog's elbow circumference using a soft tape measure while they are standing, and select the correct size using the Ortocanis size guide. 2. With your dog calm and relaxed, gently slide the brace over the paw and up the leg, positioning it centrally over the elbow joint. 3. Secure any fastening straps to achieve a snug but comfortable fit — you should be able to slide two fingers underneath the brace. 4. Introduce gradually, starting with 1–2 hours of wear and increasing over several days as your dog becomes accustomed. 5. Check the skin beneath the brace daily for any signs of rubbing, redness, or irritation. 6. Remove the brace overnight and during unsupervised periods unless directed by your vet.

For animal use only. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for open wounds or broken skin — consult your vet before use if your dog has active sores or post-surgical incisions. Discontinue use and seek veterinary advice if your dog shows increased discomfort, swelling, or skin irritation. Do not use as a substitute for professional veterinary treatment. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Inspect the brace regularly for signs of wear and replace if damaged.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Sizing is based on your dog's elbow circumference. Use a soft tape measure to measure around the elbow joint at its widest point while your dog is standing. Refer to the Ortocanis size guide included on the product page — if your dog falls between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. If you're unsure, contact our team and we'll help you find the right fit.

We recommend introducing the brace gradually, starting with short sessions of 1–2 hours and building up as your dog adjusts. Most dogs can wear the brace for several hours at a time during activity or rest periods. Remove the brace daily to check the skin for any signs of rubbing or irritation, and always take it off overnight unless advised otherwise by your vet.

Yes, the Ortocanis elbow pad is commonly used as part of post-operative rehabilitation to protect the joint, reduce swelling, and provide gentle compression during recovery. However, we always recommend confirming with your vet or veterinary physiotherapist that this product is appropriate for your dog's specific surgical procedure and recovery plan before use.

Hand wash the brace in cool water using a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water — do not wring or twist the neoprene as this can damage the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight. Ensure the brace is fully dry before putting it back on your dog.
