 We have a a large breed dog that we would like to check blood pressure, but our size 5 (8X15 cm) will not reliably stay on her leg! Does anyone know of a larger cuff available ( we currently use Midmark), or have any suggestions?

I suspect that if its not long enough its not wide enough either so taping it on may give you a false reading besides restricting its expansion. We have one labelled &amp;#39;small child&amp;#39; but doesn&amp;#39;t have any measurements on and branded &lt;em&gt;Accuson&lt;/em&gt; which is noticeably wider than the size 5 dog, not sure if that helps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: large cuff for blood pressure in large dogs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/189883?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Dec 2017 15:19:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:09078de5-10a3-4676-b9a0-578539c89303</guid><dc:creator>Bob Russell</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There are massive ones that go round the human thigh so there are plenty of options, problem is sorting out which will work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said they are dirt cheap on Ebay so might be worth a try.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: large cuff for blood pressure in large dogs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/189880?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Dec 2017 14:38:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:7c1929ca-30ed-4767-99d0-bc6785202b24</guid><dc:creator>Sammy82</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Would a standard human one fit?
