| Jet's owner writes: I compete in flyball with my dog, Jet. She is a fast
collie x golden retriever, and really pushes off the box. I worry about
her joints over extending and have tried everything from skid boots to vetrap.
I found that, unlike other products I have tried, the leg protectors don't
slip down as much (other boots I have had to readjust nearly every race)
and really give her support. I race with Leeds 'Owlers, and two of the dogs
in our first team (inc. Jet) wear these boots and find them to be excellent. |
| Zac - Labrador - UK |
| Zac experienced a torn tendon in his wrist. For six months he had a rigid binding on his leg which he initially wore continually. Following partial healing he used the leg protectors/supports from Pro-Active Paws, which still gave support but gave Zak more freedom and were much easier to apply. He had the support on during the day and it was taken off at bed time. Eventually he was able to dispense with support having recovered. |

Jake - Irish Water Spaniel - Scotland Jake has one front leg which is slightly off-line with the bone into his shoulder. He is an energetic dog and can turn on a small circle but he overextends his front paws - particularly his right one. |

| His owner writes: As you can see he is enjoying his life now at age 3. We live in Scotland 5 minutes walk from the River Spey (he swims at least 3 times a week) and a short drive to the Moray beaches where he loves to romp. |

Cocker Spaniel - Yorkshire, UK Karl Batey's dog was involved in a road traffic accident, almost being killed and unable to use her front leg at all |

Karl writes: After approx 2 months of using the protector on her short recovery walks she is back on all fours walking unaided. We have her back 90% with your help which is not bad given the accident was on the 14th Sept and she was almost killed and could not use her front left leg at all. Thanks again we are extremely happy, best £20 we ever spent! and later he wrote

Chip - Springer Spaniel - Oxfordshire, UK Chip is about 14 years old and his paw joints have become weakened and are now bent. Chip's owner bought him our leg supports for his front and back legs. |
| Chip's owner writes: "The supports have had a really positive effect on Chip. I wouldnt say he is running round, but his mobility is very much improved and it was a fairly immediate improvement He even went upstairs today and that is the first time in months, so yes they do work very well, many thanks for all your advice and help. |

| I received them last Thursday and I have to tell you....they're GREAT!!
I was worried they were a little long, but I cut them down and now they
fit perfectly! My dog pulled her ligaments in her front leg and was limping
pretty bad, with these leg supports I've noticed a world of difference -
thank you!! |

| Lorraine writes: I have used them and they work brilliantly, I'm so pleased
with them. I will be recommending them to other flyballers. |

Leslie writes I have attached a copy of an image of him and the leg supports. What we did was to cut the supports into half, and then trimmed about an 1/8 of an inch off each. They seem to be doing him some good. |
