Choosing the right dog brace depends on your dog’s injury, level of instability, anatomy, recovery needs, and the amount of support they require.
At Posh Dog Knee Brace, we offer two different bracing options because one brace is not right for every dog.
Apollo Pet Braces provide a convenient, more affordable ready-to-use option for dogs who may benefit from supportive bracing. Posh Dog Knee Brace provides a more individualized, custom-made solution for dogs who need a personalized fit and a higher level of support.
The goal isn’t to choose the most expensive option. It’s to choose the option that’s appropriate for your dog.
A custom Posh brace may be a better choice for dogs who require a more personalized bracing solution.
Posh Custom may be a good option when:
✓ Your dog has significant knee instability
✓ Your dog has a confirmed CCL/ACL injury and needs substantial support
✓ Your dog needs an individualized fit
✓ A ready-to-wear brace has not fit properly
✓ Your dog has unusual leg anatomy or sizing needs
✓ Your veterinarian recommends a more supportive brace
✓ You want extensive one-on-one guidance throughout the bracing process
The Posh Dog Knee Brace is custom-made for your dog. Rather than relying on standard sizing alone, the brace is designed around your dog’s individual measurements and needs.
Posh also provides personalized support throughout the process, including a one-on-one video measuring appointment and guidance from our team.
This makes Posh a strong option for dogs who need a more individualized approach to orthopedic bracing.
Apollo is designed to provide supportive bracing in a convenient, accessible format.
Apollo may be a good option when:
✓ Your veterinarian has recommended supportive bracing
✓ Your dog needs additional stability during recovery
✓ Your dog has an injury or condition appropriate for a ready-to-wear brace
✓ You are looking for a more affordable bracing option
✓ You want a simpler, ready-to-use solution
✓ Your dog does not require a custom-made brace
Apollo braces are available in different styles to support areas such as the knee, hock/ankle, wrist/carpal joint, elbow, hip, and spine, depending on your dog’s needs.
No. Apollo braces are not custom-made.
Apollo uses standard sizing and is designed to provide supportive bracing without the custom fabrication process required for a Posh brace.
That makes Apollo a convenient option for many dogs while also providing an alternative for pet parents who may not need a fully custom brace.

There is no single dog brace that is right for every dog.
The best option depends on what your dog needs and how much support they require.
If your dog needs a highly individualized fit or substantial support for a significant knee injury, a custom Posh Dog Knee Brace may be the better option.
If your dog is an appropriate candidate for a ready-to-wear supportive brace and you are looking for a more affordable and convenient solution, Apollo may be a great choice.
Your veterinarian can help determine what level of support is appropriate for your dog’s condition.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’re unsure whether your dog needs a custom Posh brace or an Apollo ready-to-wear brace, our team can help you understand the differences and determine which option may be the better fit for your situation.

We’re happy to help you find the right bracing option for your dog.
