The Custom L'il Back Bracer is the only patented orthopedic back support back brace for dogs. Our patented design will help keep your dog’s back supported when dealing with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) and other back issues.
Our Custom L'il Back Bracer is suitable for large or miniature breeds of dogs that may not fit our standard L'il Back Bracer sizes. This custom dog back brace is handcrafted to fit like a glove.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that due to the custom-built nature of our custom dog back braces, the final product will vary in appearance from the images displayed on the website. Varying sizes and breeds require different material selection for optimal support.
NOTE: Once an order is received, fabrication time is approximately 10-12 business days.
Our dog brace is designed for ease of use. Straps for girth and width are adjustable, just like a human back brace.
To clean the brace just hand wash and lay flat to dry. For removing hair, we have found that a rubber pet hair remover brush works best.
The L’il Back Bracer is an orthopedic support garment for dogs suffering with IVDD or other back injuries. The brace is made of a very high quality breathable and antimicrobial neoprene that is very comfortable for your dog. There are stays that line the back and abdomen to provide the needed support and stabilization of the spine.
It depends on you and your dog. Some pet parents will put the back brace on for the majority of the day while some just use our back brace for walks or times of high activity and play. The back brace is flexible, so it allows the muscles to engage and ‘work’, it is not like a stiff cast. This is important so that the muscles do not become weak from wearing the brace.
*Please note that our dog back brace is not meant to replace the crate rest period that is prescribed by your Veterinarian.
We do not recommend letting your dog wear the brace all day. You may leave the brace on your dog for up to 14 hours a day. However, be sure to remove the brace when your dog is resting, this will prevent irritation and allow their body to air out. Check for any signs of irritation and/or swelling after removing the brace.
Please remove the brace before your dog goes to bed at night.
Yes, our back brace fits in a way that leaves that area of your dog free to take care of business without the brace blocking that part of their body.
The L’il Back Bracer has an attached “D” ring so when taking walks the brace acts as a harness. Just attach the leash to the ring and enjoy a safe supported walk.
To clean the brace just hand wash and lay flat to dry. For removing hair, we have found that a rubber pet hair remover brush works best.
The L'il Back Bracer stabilizes the spinal column (from about where a collar would sit) and its snug fit provides overall comfort. While all dogs and all cases can vary, the L'il Back Bracer has successfully helped in many cases with increased mobility and relief. The feedback we have received on dogs regaining their mobility or at least increasing it has been tremendous.
As far as "jumping", it depends on whether your l'il one will continue to jump with the brace on. Our L'il Back Bracer's design is flexible, not like a stiff cast, so they are able to move as they normally would - just with a l'il support. Some dogs keep real still with the brace on and do not jump or run due to the calming effect the snug fit has on the nervous system, while some dogs resume their normal activity while wearing it.
No. Our back brace is lightweight. Helps give support down the spine.
It is common for dogs not to like a brace. A natural thing for them is to sit still. Or perhaps even whimper with it because they aren’t sure what to do with the brace on. To help with this, we recommend a break-in period of 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Give your dog a treat and praise him/her for wearing the brace. This will hopefully allow your l'il one to associate the brace being a good thing. Increase the amount of time each day.
Yes. The material is a breathable, neoprene material. Recommended washing instructions is: hand wash and then air dry.
The custom Lil Back Brace I ordered was a perfect fit my little chihuahua. Unfortunately the smallest size for the standard version was too big for him, luckily it fit his bigger build brother. Couldn’t be happier with it and it also helped I was able to do the 4 payments option. I would recommend it to anyone needing this kind of product
Hey Manuel,
Glad to hear that the custom brace was designed a perfect fit! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and provide us feedback on how your dog is adjusting to the brace!
Respectfully,

Lil' Back Bracer
Our standard dachshund had to herniated discs decompressed by surgery. The Lil Back Bracer arrived on the second week post-op. He has been wearing it ever since with 2-4 hours of the EMpower device. We are on week 3 post-op and I cannot get over how well he is walking. He is off medication. We make him rest most of the day (crate) but if it were not for his leash, he would be trying to run.
Hi,
We couldnt be happier with the brace. It seems to be doing what its suppose to do. Thank yall so much.

I have a Border Collie with a thoracic injury and she needs this brace to her daily activities, which for the breed are mostly moving and energetic. Her custom Lil Back Bracer allows for confident walks around our acreage, she is able to potty with ease in her usual postures, and she seems less tired when we return to the house. Her recent injury is degenerative and she is almost 10 years old so this custom brace will help us enjoy her life as a pet. We tried other brands but could not find a good fit for the body; custom is the way to go! Lil Back Bracer was the only company we found with a customized option and we are very grateful.
