Description
Balto – Dog Neck Brace – BT-NECK
WHAT IS IT FOR
Balto – Dog Neck Brace – BT-NECK is a Dog Neck Brace designed to support necks with Osteoarthritis, Discospondylitis, Vertebral Instability (Wobbler Syndrome), Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) and other neurological issues and hernias.
The compression offered by the dog neck brace ensures compression and traction of the neck, thus protecting it in case of injuries
It is a valid alternative to the Elizabethan collar (cone of shame) to prevent the dog from damaging the stitches post-surgery or helping with obsessive behaviors (licking, scratching,…).
BT-NECK-XXS can be used for CATS and SMALL SIZE DOGS.
ADVANTAGES
Balto dog neck brace is very rigid thanks to its internal reinforced structure. It is a padded and breathable brace so the dog can wear it without interruption (Please see Instructions tab).
It is easier to put on and less restrictive than the Elizabethan collar, allowing the dog to eat and drink without restriction.
FEATURES
- Waterproof breathable fabric (in case of rain).
- The brace can be worn before and after surgery.
- Excellent wearability.
- Hand washable.
MEASUREMENTS OF THE BRACE ITSELF
The BT-NECK dog Neck brace is usually not suited for hounds and bulldogs.
Long necks do not allow the collar to stay in place so the brace will slide.
Short necks can be too small for the width (B) of the neck brace.
Please make sure you allow a small overlap of the brace around the neck of your dog.
The brace has to be longer than the circumference of the neck.
Any doubt, please get in touch.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
- For proper use, it is essential that the collar is tightened securely around the neck, to keep it from turning.
- While wearing the rigid collar, the dog can be taken for walks using either the collar or a harness.
- Over a 24-hour period, remove the collar for 1 to 2 hours.
As your pet has the potential to damage the brace or injure themselves, we recommend the supervision of your dog at all times when wearing the brace.

Meha contracted meningitis some 4 years ago, 3 vets ignored the owner’s diagnosis stating she isn’t a vet. After a 9-day battle this dog was dying in my bed I took her at 4 am to the emergency vet who agreed with me my diagnosis, she was rushed into emergency treatment at Leahurst Liverpool University Hospital For Animals. 3 Surgeons operated on her, a neurosurgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, and a general surgeon. They had to wait and place her on IV fluids due to the WRONG medication given by her own 3 vets. She survived, however, each year in the cold winters she has an episode in her neck probably now has IVDD due to poor blood supply in her remaining good cervical spine. I usually treat her with cage rest and meloxicam, sadly this past few weeks she had an exceptional episode and I feared I would lose her. I immediately placed her on floor cage rest with meloxicam however I knew the very best way would be to isolate her movement in the cervical spine but at the same time, it needed support. I FOUND THIS SITE and ordered her a neck brace. She is now CBD only no other medication and wearing her brace as instructions apply, the improvement is astonishing within just 2 days. This brace supports her cervical spine and she has gone from being a very poorly dog to her cheeky self within just a few days
Thank you

Hi,
I bought one of your neck braces this Spring as my 10-year-old Doberman (Safie) had hurt her neck very badly playing with our other Doberman. Her Chiropractor was trying to help but her neck was too inflamed. The Vet felt there was little he could do – given her age.
We put her on pain killers, anti-inflammatories and supplements. The Vet felt at this point all we could do is make her comfortable. A friend of mine (A Vet Tech) recommended your product so we purchased one. After two weeks we stopped the pain killers and anti-inflammatories but have kept her on a supplement regimen. After 2 months of constantly wearing the brace, we were able to have her only wear the brace during the day. We did that for about 2 weeks and gradually took it off her for a few days at a time.
She is now 100% better and is living a happy, healthy life. My Vet is astounded at her recovery. Her Chiropractor has a photo of her in her office and recommends your products to her clients.
Thanks so much for making this available! You saved my dog’s life!
