Dog Lying Callosity Bandage/Dog Elbow Bandage/Dog Hygroma Bandage (Black, M)

This product is great. Our 16-year old Border Collie obsessive licks one elbow causing a constant open wound. After a month of twice-a-day bandaging we finally healed her last wound. After two days without bandaging, she had reopened the wound slightly.Luckily, this product arrived on day 3. We put it on and after two days the wound closed back up. She does still lay and obsessively lick the callosity bandage but the elbow is thoroughly protected now and she can do no damage. We have struggled for years with this issue but think this product is going to permanently solve the problem.We did have some problems in sizing and the vendor was wonderful in resolving that at no extra expense to us. They also made us aware that an extension is available for across the back if needed. A medium size worked for our 40-lb Border Collie although it barely closes at her shoulder.Two comments for the vendor:(1) Perhaps you should label which is the left and which is the right bandage. On the Amazon pictures, the stuffed dog is shown wearing it one way and the real dog is wearing it the other way (based on the location of the white label). We tried it both ways and settled on the one where her gait was best. We elected not to use the front cross strap and it is working well.(2) I saw other reviewers that had an issue with your product barely closing across the back. I know you can supply an extension if needed but perhaps the design should be adjusted a little?Just a couple of thoughts, but thanks again for your excellent support and product.

I was initially so happy to see this item and that it was just what the doctor ordered. The vet was happy, Lucy got used to it and all seemed well. I received this around Sept 20 and within 2 weeks or so the flaps were no longer adhering to the tabs. The velcro became fuzzy and would not hold. I emailed the seller about the problem, they requested pictures which I did send. No response from the seller. 2 emails sent asking if they recieved the images, no response. In hand washing it last night, I noticed one of the tabs where the flap attaches is unraveling. I have again emailed the seller. I love the design, except for the netting in the elbow area. I believe it's more of an irritant than a help. Great idea, Lucy doesn't mind it, and if they could remedy their velcro and quality problems then it would be a great item.

I love this product ! I purchased this item after looking for quite some time for a something that would help pad the wounds that were developing on my beloved 9 year old labs’ elbows. The challenge was finding something that would offer support, protection and padding while still staying in place and not limiting his ability to move. When it was shipped out the seller sent an email that provided tracking info and a link to contact them with any concerns. The quality was top notch - made of durable but stretchable neoprene with strong stitching and Velcro : easy to clean/ good padding material/long lasting and easily adjustable. It also has mesh pockets ( very clever ), that can hold small gel pacs that I ordered separately. The ability to insert the gel pacs meant more cushioning and the ability to provide heat or cold to my poor boys’ arthritis . Unfortunately I mistakingly ordered a size too large for my 100 lb English lab. I almost thought of keeping the too large elbow bandage , but tried contacting the seller using the link they provided. They responded that very same day and immediately took care of my error. This product was just what I was looking for : a quality product that provides protection and padding to an area that frankly is hard to protect. It stays in place beautifully; is adjustable; allows you to insert heat/cooling therapy as an additional function and the seller quickly responded to my own error. I highly recommend this product and would buy it again...but it’s made so well I don’t think I would need to!!

Took the risk of ordered knowing that if it did not work I would be stuck with it. It is a great idea and good quality, but will not stay up over my dogs hygroma. I have a 150lb English Mastiff, it seems to fit, but with inSeconds if falls down.

Reason for the 3 stars, I really do not know how to accurately rate this. It seems like a good product but a word of caution! If you do not completely overlap the Velcro straps around the elbow you, you could potentially still have part of the Velcro exposed to the leg and it can rub/chafe the leg. In our case it took the hair right off and irritated the skin. I believe we purchase the right size (large for a 80 lbs dog). I will try this again once the leg is no longer irritated and making sure the Velcro is completely overlapped.

I rarely write reviews for products but I had to for this one. This protector seriously changed my dogs life! I have a 8 yr old 110lb German Shepherd who refuses to sleep on anything but the cold tile in our house. After buying dog bed after dog bed and him refusing to sleep in them I didn’t know what to do. His elbows had become completely deformed looking and we’re cracked, bleeding, bald and painful. Nothing worked to relieve his pain. I tried wrapping them with cotton and Conan but nothing stayed on. This product came up one day after searching and although I didn’t want to spend another $85 on a product that may or may not help I bit the bullet and bought it. And I’m so glad I did! The first time I put it on of course he hated it but after he got used to it he seems to actually like it. It’s very well made and doesn’t seem uncomfortable at all. And with in 10 days I cannot believe the difference it’s made in his elbows! They are soft and not swollen anymore and the fur is growing back! He no longer sits up whining in pain and is generally a much happier dog. We now just put it on at night or when he’s at home alone and more apt to be laying down. Absolutely recommend this product to any dog owner dealing with their dogs laying callosities.
