Leg Protection For Whippets

[Ann Glews]

Can any one tell me if leg protectors for Whippets exist?? If so where can I find them. My 11 month old Izzy loves running when we meet other dogs on our walks, I am loathed to stop her, but need to protect her legs from nicks.

All suggestions greatly received.

what part of her leg do you want top protect. I know a lot of racers ues the vet rap (cohesev bandege) help protect there dogs stoper pads and wrist and fly ball dogs have leather wrist gards for the same reson

Thank you, I need to protect her front legs from joint upwards for a couple of inches.

You can get protectors. My son has some our whippet but she did not like wearing them, she tries to shake them off so he gave up.

Try putting dog leg protectors into Google. Agility dogs use protectors.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

I've use vet wrap now and again when my two are in particularly clumsy moods! Good stuff :thumbsup: I got it off ebay, you can get in lots of nice colours, Lenny doesn't like the pink one though

Which parts of the front legs? I use vet wrap to protect the stoppper pads and dew claws whilst racing but if your dogs are getting nicks on the fronts of their rear legs (i.e. studding from the nails on the front feet catching onto the back legs) then you might find applying a blob of vaseline across the fronts of the back legs more convenient to use.

Thank you I will check out ebay, I have also found some agility leg protectors on the internet which velcro on and are of a neoprene type material.

Its the top part of her front legs, I think it is done on perhaps bramble or heather type brush where she catches herself. When she runs she is very clumsy and sees only what she chases!

I would just like to thank you all, the agility leg protectors I bought are just the trick. Izzy can now run free without the danger of nicks on her front legs. I just wish I could work out how to post pictures!!
