We recommend an introduction time of 2-4 hours/day for the first 3-5 days to get the body used to the effects, but the length of introduction can vary between individuals. Use your judgment to determine when ready for longer use. For the best results, after the introduction time, use the products for longer periods of time daily – such as overnight. Every 3-4 weeks we recommend not using the products for 3-6 days. The period of discontinued use is for you to assess/reassess the progress of your horse or dog and even yourself. Products may be worn for a period of 1-24 hours a day after the introductory period. For use with dogs and horses, we recommend removing our products for 3-4 hours a day to give the animal a break from the effects.
Dog Mesh Rug
Price range: $114.00 through $164.00
Our most lightweight and versatile Dog Coat moulds to your pet’s body shape. Ideal for aging dogs, dogs recovering from sports or injury or any canine cutie seeking snuggly comfort.
Can the products be used in hot temperatures?
Yes. We do recommend using the products in the cooler parts of the day and for shorter periods of time during the warmer summer months, however, this is your personal preference. Use your best judgement when using our products on your animals on a hot day. Using them for smaller amounts of time throughout the day is better than not using them at all.
After I have discontinued using my Back on Track product and then decide later that I would like to begin using it again, do I need to start over with the introductory period?
Depending on how long it has not been used, it may be necessary to start the introductory period again. Use common sense and see how your body feels and reacts.
How long do Back on Track products remain effective?
The effectiveness of BOT products will not change over time since you cannot wash out the Welltex® fibers infused in the threads. If you have been using our products for a long period of time and feel you don’t see the same results as you did at the beginning, simply take a break for a week and try again. While using our products over time you may get used to the Welltex® effect and start to think you are no longer being helped.
Why use Back on Track products when there are no injuries?
The improved blood circulation from the use of BOT products will help to maintain the over-all well-being of the body tissues, even in health. It may also help prevent injuries in the future by improving over-all resilience of the body.
If using Back on Track products causes increased circulation and swelling occurs, will it go away?
Take a break from wearing the product until the swelling goes down, then begin using it again. Wear it for only a few hours to minimize the chance of swelling again until the body gets used to the increased blood circulation from wearing the product.
What is the difference between Back on Track products and magnet technology?
The Welltex material utilizes the body’s own energy and reflects that energy back into the tissues as far-infrared wavelengths which penetrate deeper than just warmth to affect the tissues and the blood vessels, whereas products with magnet technology utilize the magnetic field.
How do I wash Back on Track products?
Machine wash in warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Hang to dry.
Will Back on Track products shrink?
No, providing you follow the washing instructions that come with each product. Products are not to be put into a clothes dryer and bleach should not be used in the washing process.
Can liniments be used with Back on Track products?
Caution is advised when using Welltex® products simultaneously with liniment, since some liniments may amplify the Welltex® effect. Use the product only as directed and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Do not use products that will generate heat. Use your own common sense to see how you or your animal reacts.
How much support do the Back on Track brace products provide?
Back on Track brace products provide limited support. They are designed as therapeutic products that increase blood circulation and in turn may help reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. Our self fastening Knee Brace and Back Braces provide more support than our other therapeutic brace products, but they should not be used to replace physician prescribed support braces.
Will I experience the Welltex® effect if my Back on Track product is worn over other clothing?
BOT products need to be next to the skin or hair of animals for the product to give the best effect. However, the Back Brace can be worn over a thin shirt and the Mattress Overlay should be used under regular sheets.
Can I use Welltex® products while pregnant?
No. Do not use during pregnancy.

Riley owns three of these coats! Great for indoor use, layering under another coat, and for outside in warmer weather. Noticeable difference in his joints when he’s had a long day and then wears his coat.

Of all the mesh jackets, the mesh rug is my favourite.
The sizing is a bit unusual. I have 3 dogs.
Dog 1: Measurements to the size chart suggest she would wear size 52cm. However, she best fits a 43 or 46. In a 46 the tail zipper can be used, however, I do not use it.
Dog 2: Measurements to the size chart suggest she would wear size 49cm. She best fits a 43. Would not be able to use the tail zipper, but going up to a size 46 I would be able to, however, the rug would be far to big as my dog it tiny/slender, but I never use the tail zipper anyways.
Dog 3: Measurements to the size chart suggest he would wear 67cm. He best fits a 63cm. Can use the tail zipper but never do.

As advertised. I’ve not had it long enough to confirm its benefit to my dog but he certainly finds it comfortable. The fit is as advertised, it’s easy to adjust and I’m hoping for good things. Delivery was quick and on time.

LOVE the dog mesh rug! Easy instructions on how to order the right size – it fit perfectly! Very adjustable and easy to put on and take off. Would definitely recommend this product and company!
Bought this ‘rug’ mostly for my Golden who does agility but the other dogs will make good use of it also. Lucky me, they are all about the same size dog.

This jacket has improved my 14 year old Australian Shepherd’s mobility more than I could have hoped for or believed. She wears it everyday and her quality of life is much better for it. I am so thankful for this product!

WOW it never gets tiring to get this kind of feedback.
We know our product works but it is wonderful to get updates all the time 🙂

I think it’s a bit big but our dog doesn’t mind. Company support is great. Even though it’s lightweight we have been using it in -30 C for short walks and our pup seems to be warm and not bothered by the cold.

Hi Christina,
Thrilled to hear the coat is helping out your dog.
Happy New Year!

It fit a bit big on my dog, but he can still wear it and it works really well! I’ve noticed an improvement from his back injury since he started wearing it.

Excellent Kylie!

Great dog blanket! It was easy sizing and stylish.
Bev W. (verified owner) –
Blanket has helped my senior dog with his mobility issues. I got the blanket on sale so it’s a bit smaller then I measured him for. The only problem with this is the tail zipper is in the wrong place for my guy. I tried it once but didn’t want my dog pooping on his blanket if he had to go.
I put it on him at dinner time and remove it in the morning at breakie.

I love all Back on Track products. I guess I didn’t measure right for my Springer Spaniel. The Dog Mesh Rug is too big for her, and as a result slips off to the side when she walks.

Seems like a very nice coat. Fits well. My dog is quite petite but was able to make good adjustments.

A friend lent us her dog’s mesh rug when our bullmastiff pup fell on the ice. She moved better, slept deeper, and was more relaxed when she wore it. Obviously she needed her own!

I had ordered the wrong size, BOTCanada was very prompt and supportive in sending the new size even before I had mailed back the original rug. I know it wasn’t policy, but appreciated for I was in a hurry to get the item for my little arthritic dog. I have noticed much improvement in her health since purchase. Thanks BOTCanada, so very glad my vet mentioned the product, I’ve never heard of it before.

Purchased for my 11 yr old Bouvier who has arthritis in his shoulder & rear legs. He wears it lounging in the house & I believe it makes him more comfortable. He does not fuss about putting it on & wears it without trouble.
The sizing was a little large in some areas, so it moves around a little, but it still works, however I cannot leave it on him overnight un attended…. so – 1*
That being said, it is a well made cover, we call it his Harry Potter Cape 🙂 would send it pic but not sure how to add to the review.
Back On Track –
Thank you for the terrific share Joanne.
If you are interested in something for overnight we suggest the Dog Travel Mattress (travel only because it folds up in to a wee travel bag like a sleeping bag) or a Pet Mat.
These can go in existing dog beds adding in the ‘pain management’ aspect, on the floor, sofa, car etc.

A noticeable difference in our 10.5-year-old retired service dog’s demeanor after the first night of wearing the mesh rug as pyjamas. After two weeks, he waits to have the rug put on before going onto his bed.

Fits large, double check measurements. Easy to put on and adjust but definitely not as tight fitting. It’s very light weight and breathable fabric.
