Kruuse Rehab Weight Cuffs
Kruuse Rehab Weight Cuffs have been specially developed for targeted training of your dog's muscles. The cuffs can be used during rehabilitation, muscle building and fitness training. By adding weight to the special side pockets, you can gradually increase the load. The cuffs are suitable for both the front and hind legs and can be used individually or as a pair. This allows you to adapt the training to your dog's needs and abilities.

Usage
- Place the weight cuffs above or below the hock joint on the hind legs or above or below the carpal joint on the front legs. Make sure that the pockets for adding weight are on the outside of the legs.
- Start with a light load and gradually build up the weight. A suitable starting weight is approximately 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. After a few weeks, this can be increased to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight. Example: for a dog weighing 26 kg, start with 26 grams of added weight. After a period of adjustment, this can possibly be increased to 52 grams. You can, for example, use coins to make the cuffs heavier.
- Start with training sessions of no more than 10 to 15 minutes. After about two weeks, you can, if necessary, expand the training to two separate sessions, depending on your dog's capacity.
Please note: only use the weight cuffs for rehabilitation or existing mobility problems under the supervision of a vet or animal physiotherapist. They can advise on the correct training weight, positioning and progression of the exercises.

What if the Kruuse Rehab Weight Cuffs do not fit?
To check whether the cuff fits, you may take it out of the packaging and hold it next to your pet. This allows you to check whether it fits. For hygiene reasons, you may not return the cuff if it has been in contact with your pet. If, upon return, we find that the wrist protector is stained, has been worn, contains dog hair, smells dirty or has been washed, the product will not be returned to you. It will then be donated to a good cause, a local animal shelter. As we are often faced with products that are not returned in new condition, we unfortunately have to apply these rules for fitting and/or returning.
