Post-surgical spinal support
Preventative care for dogs with a high risk of spinal injury

How does the L'il Back Bracer provide support?
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.
How often should my dog wear the brace?
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.
Can I leave the brace on my dog all day?
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.
Can my dog “do their business” while wearing this back brace?
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.
Does my dog need to have a separate harness for walks?
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.
How do I care for the 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.
How does EM Technology work?
The EMpower device works at the cellular level by gently pulsing an electromagnetic field into your pup's soft tissue.
The energy generated from the EM improves intracellular function, which also increases the production of Nitric Oxide - a healing molecule common in all living things.
Nitric Oxide helps to increase blood flow to where your pup is hurting, further reducing pain and edema at the treatment area.
How often do I need to recharge the EMpower Device?
A fully charged EMpower device can deliver 2-3 two hour therapy sessions. We recommend that you charge your EMpower device after every other use to ensure that your l'il one will get a full 2 hour session during each use.
Can my pup feel EM Technology?
Unlike TENS, our EM technology is subsensory, meaning you nor your pup will not feel a thing. Dogs are far more sensitive than humans, so we've designed our EM technology to not emit any vibration, tingling sensations, or noise.
The only thing your pup will feel is relief!
How long should my dog use PEMF Therapy?
We recommend to consult with your Veterinarian to determine the best treatment plan for your pup. For optimal results, we recommend completing one two-hour treatment everyday for two weeks. After the initial 2 week period, you may use the EMpower device as-needed to keep your pup comfortable.
When will I see results?
Some pups will see results right away, others may take longer than 2 weeks. You should see improvements in mood, increased levels of activity, changes in behavior and perhaps even tail wagging.
What is the clinical evidence on EM/PEMF Techology?
NASA has been using EM technology to aid astronauts in supporting bone health and prevent degeneration, following time spent in space.
Our EM technology is a lighter frequency optimized for pain management and increased circulation in soft tissue. This technology has been proven in the human medical space with clinical trials focused on osteoarthritis, post-surgical and post-injury recovery. These trials have shown improvements in scar tissue healing, mobility, pain levels, and edema.
My dachshund is 5 and had back spasms. I ordered the brace to help her get around. I must say it’s worked wonders as she’s acting her normal self. Of course she is still taking meds.
Hi Angie,
I am so glad to hear your dog is doing well with the brace and helping her to be more herself. We hope you see continued improvement with each week. We appreciate you taking the time to write us a review.
Best,
L'il Back Bracer

Great product!
Great product! Unfortunately, my pup passed away due to complications before receiving the brace. I donated it to my vet office for someone less fortunate so they could have a blessing to help their pup. Thank you for the fast delivery and the wonderful customer service!

Very Pleased
I purchased the EMbrace Lil Back System for my 15 year old male terrier mix. Due to his spinal cord deteriorating, he was no longer able to keep his rear end lifted. The vet prescribed steroids, a pain killer, and a muscle relaxer as well as basically physical therapy - me holding up his hind end so he could walk. I am not sure how much the meds have helped, how much the physical therapy has helped, or how much the EMbrace L'il Back System has helped; however, I do know that I have already my dog is finishing up the steroids (only every other day now) and is down to two muscle relaxers a day (it was three) and is walking without any assistance other than the EMbrace Li; Back Bracer. I keep the Bracer on him since we purchased it two weeks ago, only taking it off for cleaning him, and I use the EMpower device twice a day. I will keep him in the Bracer as much as possible so there are no more set backs. When he was diagnosed with the spinal deterioration, on the same day I ordered the EMbrace L'il Back System, I also ordered him a wheelchair. I am happy to say that he has not had to use the wheelchair and is continuing to improve. He had gone from walking and running and playing to suddenly not able to lift his hind end in one night. The next day, the vet told us the cause and I ordered the EMbrace L'il Back System as well as the wheelchair. So, it has been a quick turn of events in two weeks and I do believe the EMbrace L'il Back System is helping keep my dog mobile and more comfortable, even if I cannot honestly say how much it is helping.
We are SO happy to hear that you are happy with your product. This story brings happy tears to our eyes and we hope for continued improvement and mobility for your dog. Please let us know if you have any questions down the line, always happy to help!
Best,
Victoria

From start to finish, this was such an easy process. And my dog likes the brace too!
Hi Michael,
We are happy to hear that our custom brace process was easy for you and that Callie is enjoying the brace. We hope Callie continues to advance with the brace. Feel free to send us any updates on Callie and how she is adjusting! :) Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Great product! Easy to follow videos on how to do everything. Brace fits great and Ryder, our husky, doesn’t mind it at all. It has significantly helped him get around and he is enjoying walks again! So happy with the decision to get this brace!
Hi Sara,
This is so amazing to hear, th ank you so much for the update on how things are going! And so happy Ryder likes the brace as well! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
We absolutely love our experience with Animal Ortho Care and the brace that was made for our dog Ella. It fits her perfectly and she loves wearing it!! The casting kit was very easy to use and when one of the casts was delivered unusable you quickly sent me another one.
Hi Ashlee,
We are so happy you had such a good expererience with us. We do our best to make the process easy for everyone that orders. And I am SO happy to hear Ella loves wearing her brace too!! Please let us know if you have any questions along the way, happy to assist. Thank you for takign the time to write us such a lovely review.
Our dog’s cast came out perfectly. It gives him the ability to weight bear on that leg again
Hi Marie,
We are so happy to hear the brace is working so well for your dog! We hope for improvement each week. Please let us know if you have any questions along the way. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
We are about 2 months in and when ever I tell my dog "let's put your brace on", he lays down and wants it on. You can tell when it's on, how much better it makes him feel. No doubt in a few months he will be good to go, great choice going this route
Hi Veto,
I LOVE hearing that your dog wants the brace put on. They certainly are smart! The brace design not only supports and stabilizes the knee but also gives pain relief as well. We hope for continued improvement each week. Please let us know if you have any questions along the way.
