I have a 100lb Lab that tore her ACL. I opted to try this brace in order to offer some support, while we weighed surgery to repair it. Mainly to help her get around on hardwood floors, and try to improve mobility as much as possible. The brace arrived, and it did fit snugly and was easy to put on. However, it did slide downward quite a bit.....and was a mess when the dog would lay down and get back up. It was like constantly pulling up a pair of loose pants. More importantly, my dog did NOT like wearing it. I do realize they sell another device that connects to a harness to keep it from moving.......but it's simply another thing to put on. So, my review is neutral. Does it fit properly and snugly.....yes. Is it practical....for me, no. In the end, my dog did not get the surgery (due to age). After 5 LONG months, her ACL slowly healed naturally over time......and one day she just started to move around with ease. She probably healed back to 75/80%. But I think letting her leg move and heal naturally was the best thing to happen. Could this help a god with arthritis, possibly yes. But if you are in the ACL boat, this is my honest experience.
