The Biko Brace features a simple-to-use, adjustable, custom-fitted device that works with standard harnesses for optimum comfort. Biko encourages appropriate limb use, decreases scuffing of the toes and assists with weight shifting during ambulation.
How is the Biko Brace used?
The brace is not a supportive device, but an assistive aid. It is utilised during the time that the dog is ambulatory and it helps them move more efficiently as a unit. The brace requires a standard roman harness with a D ring.

Biko Physio Dog Brace (Nerve Damage or CDRM)
🟢 In stock, ready to ship
The Biko Physio Dog Brace is excellent for dogs suffering from nerve damage or Degenerative Myelopathy (CDRM) which affects the back legs and the dog's gait. Because this super tool aligns the dog's legs laterally, the dog can walk and turn more easily. A difficult condition to manage either medically or surgically, the best way to manage CDRM is by keeping the dog fit and walking well for as long as possible to prevent muscle wasting in the hind legs. Customers and physios give great feedback on how this simple brace helps dogs suffering from CDRM. CDRM is common in German Shepherds, Boxers and Pembroke Corgi breeds.

Review: "What a pleasure it has been to see our beautiful boy 'Blaze' regain his independence and confidence. Now I put the complete harness on in the morning and detach the leg straps when he is resting, just clipping them back out of the way. Simple & effective. Thank you again." [Collins, UK] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
