My dog is 14 years old and has hip dysplasia and arthritis. I don't use this product every day in fear my dog will become totally dependent on the brace. However, on days his arthritis really flares up and he is limping, I put on the and you can easily see how much more stable he is taking his morning walk. Yes, he is also able to do "his business" while wearing the brace. The only problem I initially had was trying to find how to correctly position the brace and how tight it should be. With a little trial and error, we figured it out. He confidently pranced around once it was put on correctly. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.
