Abstract
The therapeutic device of the invention is a pair of sleeves which are worn on the animal's legs. The sleeves have a strap which extends upwardly and across the animal's back and are releasably connected to one another. The sleeves have an inner half and outer half. The inner half is provided with a section of padding which corresponds to the area that will cover the animal's elbows. The outside half of the sleeve has a pocket. This pocket is used to receive padding, a hot pack or a cold pack, depending upon the particular needs of the animal. The padding can be used for protection against bumps, whereas the hot and cold pack can be used to apply hot or cold to a joint to accelerate healing.
