I bought this for my 85 lb lab mix of unknown age who was showing signs of neurological disease in his hind legs. Most of his strides were fine, but after that he would knuckle hard and often scrape and bleed the top of his foot. After looking at the bracket support options, it seems this one gets the best reviews. Another option I've found is to put a plastic support under the foot that doesn't allow the foot to move, make one paw higher than the other, and have unpadded velcro straps. I bought him a large size. I tried to measure his feet and came up with a size medium, but decided to get him the large based on the weight chart. The size is correct. Since using this brace, he hasn't used his knuckles on his feet. It's a little tricky to put on, but it's quick to put on, and the top part has to be tight enough to keep the brace from slipping off the leg. I like that the elastic band is adjustable. Wear a brace while walking. He has the freedom of movement, he loves it, and it was a great purchase.
