Caution!While there is no doubt that your dog can likely benefit from kinesiology tape, it is important to use caution when applying the tape.

Would love to give it a try. Our dog has severely bowed back legs and braces make her freeze, she won't move. Would like to get more information about applying tape correctly

My 10-year old French Bulldog has both hips not well situated in Sockets. As she gets older of course more troublesome. Recently she seems to “dislocate” particularly right hip. Struggles with it and then seems to resettle it. Vet says nothing can be done about it. Help!

You could definitely try the hip support taping. I have a Frenchie with hip dysplasia as well and it helps her. We teach exactly how to handle and apply the tape in our online course.

Yes, taping could help, but that is a difficult area to tape due to the movement of the joint and the location. If there is swelling, I would do a fan taping directly over it to decrease inflammation at this time.

Our dog Duke has had 3 surgeries over the course of 8 months. Failed LSS, TPLO/MLP, then tighten the patella again. It has been a long tough journey and we have noticed intermittent lameness. The surgeon checked him recently and feels this is the best he will be, so much scar tissue. The PT has noticed a little movement in the patella. I am looking for other ways to provide support for the knee so he may have a happy and healthy life as possible. Would this benefit him? Thank you for your time
