Can you get rear leg protectors for dogs?

On a few occassions now Zeita has come back from her walks with sore back legs. I think what is happening is as she is chasing her balls etc she is scraping her back legs along the ground and its scraping the skin off. She is totally oblivious to this . So I was wondering if there is anything I can put on her legs to avoid this, as it's not an option to stop chasing lol

I'd like to know, too, as Kali is constantly getting his back legs chewed by Thorgeir!!!!!

Oooh... Rowdy does this when he's jumping up 7ft walls, he always catches his legs...

Doubt he'd wear leg protectors though...

Good idea though Mel!

Whereabouts is she scraping herself ? Would Flyball type protectors cover the areas in questions ?

Or basic Horse bandage which sticks to itself but not fur/hair ?

have a look on there, if what you want isn't listed send her an email - she made some fab double wrap fleece on an extended wrist support to keep Felix' bad leg warm and supported. Prices are good as well. Hth x

Problem is they are not long enough for old leggy Mo
We tried everything when she went through that patch of cutting her leg each time she went out
I never thought of horse bandage though, good idea.

no worries, Kates-krafts makes to measure for each dog Nips so might be worth looking at maybe if she starts again x
