Most fitting problems start with the tape measure. Five minutes and a helper make all the difference, and every BaoBao product page shows its own size chart with the measurements it needs.
What you need
- A soft tailor's tape measure (a phone charging cable and a ruler work in a pinch).
- A helper to keep your dog standing still and calm.
- A few treats.
How to measure
Measure while your dog stands squarely on all four legs, not sitting or lying down. Keep the tape snug against the coat but not tight. Measure twice and write the numbers down.
- Thigh: around the widest part of the upper thigh, close to the body.
- Below the knee: around the leg just under the knee joint.
- Length: down the back of the leg, from the middle of the thigh to the hock (the ankle).
- For braces held by a vest or collar, also measure the chest just behind the front legs, or the neck where a collar sits, as the size chart asks.
Choosing between two sizes
Follow the tip on the product's own size chart, because braces are cut differently. If a measurement sits right on the line, or you are unsure, send us your measurements and we will check them for free.
Photos that help us check the fit
Two photos of your dog standing, one from the side and one from behind, with your measurements, let us confirm the size before you order. Email them to fluffybun@baobao.lt.
Signs a brace fits well
- It stays at the same height after a short walk.
- You can slide one finger, not two, under each strap.
- There is no rubbing or redness when you take it off.
Check the skin under the brace every day, and ask your vet how many hours a day it should be worn.
A brace supports and stabilises; it does not diagnose or heal. If your dog is limping, in pain or recovering from surgery, ask your vet whether this support suits your dog and for how long it should be worn.
