Our Beloved Staffie had a Spinal Stroke between C6-C7 and is Unable to Pick up her Front Right Foot Correctly and so is now Constantly Toe Knuckling and Damaging her Skin. How can I help my dog?

If your dog is paw knuckling in the front paw and you would like to help alignment, you must get a Maximus boot. This will secure up the front leg, and will make the alignment straighter.

Get a custom paw brace

Maximus PawsUp Custom Brace is the best choice if you want a long lasting, premium solution to your dog's front paw knuckling. This is the best front paw knuckling brace on the market worldwide. The brace will protect, de-knuckle and get your dog to put their paw flat on the floor again meaning they reduce nail shortening and skin damage. This brace will correct your dog's paw position as much as possible. Recommended for dogs who are aggressive knucklers.
