Knowing how to take measurements for a dog brace is essential for the brace to work properly from day one. We know that taking measurements for a brace for either dog or cat can generate insecurity.<\/p>\n

“What if I’m wrong?”
“What if the measurement is not correct?”
“What if I don’t know exactly where to measure from?”<\/p>\n

If you’re here, you probably want to get it right the first time. And that’s already a big step.<\/p>\n

At Mihapi we have developed our own technical sizing<\/strong>, with which we cover 88% of the usual cases (don’t know if this is your case? we explain it here<\/a>). In order for the splint to work correctly and for you to be right with our sizing, it is necessary that these measurements are as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n
