Limb Weights for Muscle Strengthening & Rehabilitation in Dogs

Rebuilding strength and mobility after injury, surgery, or neurological illness is one of the most important parts of your dog's recovery journey. These veterinarian-recommended limb weights from Ortocanis are designed to make targeted muscle rehabilitation safe, straightforward, and effective — whether you are working alongside a canine physiotherapist or following a home exercise programme.

The weights strap securely around your dog's legs and add gentle, controlled resistance during normal movement and guided exercises. With every step your dog takes, the muscles are encouraged to work harder, accelerating strength gains, improving proprioception, and supporting healthy gait patterns. The adjustable design ensures a comfortable, secure fit across a wide range of breeds and leg sizes.

Ortocanis is a trusted specialist in veterinary orthopaedic and rehabilitation products, and these limb weights reflect their commitment to evidence-based, clinician-approved design. They are an ideal complement to physiotherapy sessions, hydrotherapy, or structured home rehabilitation plans prescribed by your vet. Always introduce limb weights gradually and under professional guidance to ensure the safest and most effective outcomes for your dog.

N/A

1. Measure your dog's leg circumference at the point where the weight will be worn and select the appropriate size. 2. With your dog calm and relaxed, wrap the limb weight around the designated leg and fasten securely — it should be snug but not tight enough to restrict movement or circulation. 3. Check two fingers can comfortably fit beneath the strap. 4. Begin with short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes, monitoring your dog closely throughout for any signs of discomfort, excessive fatigue, or abnormal movement. 5. Gradually increase session duration only as directed by your vet or canine physiotherapist. 6. Always remove the weights immediately after each session and never leave them on an unsupervised dog. 7. Inspect the product before each use for signs of wear or damage.

For use under veterinary or canine physiotherapist guidance only. Do not use on dogs with open wounds, skin irritation, or swelling in the area where the weight will be placed. Never leave limb weights on an unsupervised dog. Monitor your dog throughout every session and remove immediately if any distress, lameness, or unusual behaviour is observed. Not suitable for use during unsupervised play or outdoor off-lead exercise. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Inspect straps and fastenings regularly and discontinue use if any damage is found.
