Balto Cat Hock Brace, X-Small – Adjustable Back Leg Support with Removable Splints

The Balto Feline Hock Brace is an X-Small cat ankle support designed to stabilize an affected back leg, with removable aluminum splints for added support.

• X-Small size for small cats — supports the hock, or ankle, to help your cat stay mobile.
• Aluminum splints included — add support and stability to an affected back leg.
• Adjustable straps and soft, breathable material — help create a secure, comfortable fit.
• Washable brace — can be cleaned for continued use.
• Hand-crafted in Italy and vet-approved — made for feline orthopedic support.

Cats experiencing hock discomfort may need support to help them remain mobile, including around a surgical procedure or when surgery is not an appropriate option. This brace is intended for small cats and can be used for joint support associated with arthritis, minor hock dislocation, or discomfort. Measure your cat carefully when choosing the X-Small size, since the right fit is important for comfortable wear.

What is the Balto Feline Hock Brace designed to support?

The brace supports a cat’s hock on an affected back leg and is designed to help provide stability. It can be used before or after surgery, or as a non-surgical support option when a cat is not an ideal candidate for surgery. Its intended uses include support for arthritis, minor hock dislocation, and hock discomfort.

• For feline hock and back-leg support.
• Suitable for pre-surgical or post-surgical use.
• Designed for small cats, including breeds such as Persians, Birmans, and Devon Rex.

How do the splints change the support?

Use the provided aluminum splints when the affected leg needs added stabilization, or remove them for gentle compression. Without the splints, the compression may help increase blood pressure in the area and raise local temperature, which may help reduce pain.

• Splints provide an option for more structured support.
• Brace without splints for gentle compression.

What comes with the X-Small cat brace?

The set includes one Balto Hock XS Cat Brace and instructions. The brace has adjustable straps to help secure it around your cat’s leg, and its soft, breathable material is designed for comfortable wear.

The Balto Feline Hock Brace is best suited to owners seeking adjustable support for a small cat’s affected back leg, whether support is needed around surgery or for hock-related discomfort. Careful measurement helps you select the X-Small fit, while the removable splints let you choose between added stabilization and gentle compression. It is a small-cat hock brace rather than a general support garment for other parts of the body.
