Review
"I have used the knee braces the most. I've used them after long walks. The size is good. At first she got up and left after 5 seconds but I slowly introduced them, with treats, and now she enjoys the therapy. Love that they’re so easy to use. Easy to change temp settings. Steady temperature.
I've never even heard of braces like this before. These are totally new to me. I don't have any suggestions, to me they’re perfect and Nella seems to love it. So many people keep messaging me about the heating braces! They all want them!" ---Nella's Mom

Nella's story
Nella's Story
Nella is a big girl. When she gets older, she got arthritis in her knee. She takes a good joint supplement and she also gets Cartrophen injections. We don't walk as long as we did when she was younger but we do go into the forest every day. She did one injection per week for 4 weeks, then one injection a month from that. And now she will do one injection every 2 months. It's $70 per injection.
One day I got the message from PetieTec to invite Nella to try out the heated braces, I said yes right away. I think she would definitely benefit from it.
When I get it, I tried the brace on her knee but like the instructions on the pamphlet say, she may need a bit of time to get used to it. So I've done it for 10 seconds one day, 10 seconds another day…she gets up and leaves. After a weeks' work, she finally gets used to it, and now she's happy and relaxed.
I usually used the knee braces after long walks. After I slowly introduced them with treats, and now she enjoys the therapy. Love that they're so easy to use. Easy to change temp settings. Steady temperature. I've been using the braces every day, twice a day on Nella's back leg as she fell on ice and hurt her leg. They’ve helped a lot! Now she starts sleeping whenever I put them on and they're definitely helping.
I will definitely keep using the heating braces on Nella, cause it really helps Nella a lot!
My mom tried it on her arthritic knee and said it felt good
Tips from petietec
When your fur friends can't get used to the heated brace at once, please don't worry or throw it away. You can try to introduce them to he/her slowly, he/she will love it at last!
