 Instructions

The stay goes in the interior pocket provided with Velcro. The carpal support wraps the leg's dog right above hand level (1-2 cm). The label of the product should be facing forward. There is an extra protection inside the support to protect the extensor tendons.       

 Preventive measures

It is very important to check your pet's skin every 2 or 3 hours the first days in order to control possible little skin lacerations or irritations. Place always the support on dry skin.

If the distal members sweat (paws) right after placing the support, release the pressure.
