I was wondering if there are alternatives to Ace bandaging that you would recommend for things like the shoulder bandage wrap? I am struggling to find anything in the way of Ace bandages in NZ, and most of the substitutes are pretty fragile so won't hold up for the time that I would expect a dog to benefit from it. Unfortunately shipping is pretty cost-prohibitive for ordering from the likes of Amazon. The majority of human physio stores have gone to the likes of Ktape or cohesive bandages for wrapping material.

Re: Shoulder Bandage Wrap
Hello C.
As for the Ace Bandage. I have a number of tensor bandages that I collected over the years from my Dad’s old Vet Clinic. They are long, stretchy, and durable.
So, maybe you go to a farm tack & feed store to get ones for horses. They really don’t make the human ones very sturdy.
I suppose if you were in a pinch, you could use close-weave stockinette as an alternative.
I hope you can find something that will work!
All the best!
