Hot & Cold Therapy Dog Hip Support Brace - Targeted Gel Pack Compression Wrap for Post-Op Recovery & Arthritis Relief｜Lispoo

Drug-Free Pain Management & Recovery Care Is your dog recovering from hip surgery, struggling with morning arthritis stiffness, or limping after outdoor walks? The Lispoo Hot & Cold Therapy Dog Hip Brace combines targeted thermal therapy with medical-grade joint compression. Featuring a built-in gel pack pocket, this therapy brace lets you apply cold or heat therapy directly to the hip joint—reducing swelling, soothing stiff muscles, and giving your dog the drug-free relief they need to move comfortably again. ✨ Key Features & Benefits 1. 🧊🔥 Integrated Hot & Cold Therapy Gel Pack Equipped with a custom-fit, reusable gel pack that inserts into the hip pocket without removing the brace. Cold Therapy (Cold Compress): Constricts blood vessels to reduce post-surgery swelling, acute inflammation, and soreness after walks. Heat Therapy (Hot Compress): Relaxes stiff muscles, improves blood circulation, and loosens tight joints before outdoor activity. 2. 🏥 Post-Surgery & Wound Protection An ideal rehabilitation aid following FHO, THR, or hip trauma. The contoured neoprene wrap provides gentle structural stability to the pelvic socket while acting as a protective barrier against biting or licking surgical incisions. 3. 🦴 Anatomic Joint & Pelvis Alignment Dual-leg compression wraps around both thighs to stabilize the hips, hold the pelvis aligned, and relieve weight-bearing stress on weak rear legs. 4. 💨 Soft, Non-Chafing Comfort & Anti-Slip Fit Constructed from medical-grade neoprene with smooth, padded edges. Side connecting straps anchor the hip pads to the front harness, preventing the brace from slipping backward without restricting natural movement or pottying. 🧊🔥 How to Use the Hot/Cold Pack ⚠️ Important Safety Tip: Always test the gel pack temperature on your own wrist before applying it to your dog! 🧊 Cold Compress (For Swelling, Inflammation & Post-Op Pain) Freeze the gel pack for 20–30 minutes, OR refrigerate for 1 hour. Suggested Temperature: 32°F – 50°F (0°C – 10°C). Insert into the brace pocket and apply for 10–15 minutes. 🔥 Hot Compress (For Stiffness, Chronic Arthritis & Muscle Relaxation) Wrap the gel pack in a damp towel and microwave on medium for 40 seconds, OR soak in hot water for 2–3 minutes. Suggested Temperature: 104°F – 122°F (40°C – 50°C). Insert into the brace pocket to warm joints before morning walks or exercise. 🎯 Who Is This Brace Best For?
