After almost losing one of our own puppies, we created a cast to treat flat chest. Flat Chest is an extremely dangerous condition in which a puppy will be born with or develop a flat chest due to environmental, congenital, or genetic factors (Pectus Excavatum). Sometimes you can take all the precautions to prevent a flat chest from occurring and it still ends up happening! Luckily, there is a solution. Our kits come with 6-9 casts that your puppy can grow into as needed. Please use our measuring chart to determine which kit your puppy will need. Since this is a treatment, we recommend purchasing the Expanded Kit (sizes 0-8) if your puppy starts on a size 4 or higher.
Here are some of the advantages of the casts:
safely rounds up a flat chest caused by genetic, congenital or environmental factors, like Swimmer's Syndrome
mobility is not obstructed
also serves as "armor" which further protects pups in their weaker stages from accidental mom squishes or any other accidents
It's always important to consult with your veterinarian, as a flat chested puppy could have developed pneumonia or other respiratory issues through aspirations or other stress on the lungs. Please also check out our tutorial at the bottom of the Flat Chest Kit page.
We offer local pickup in Naples, FL.
