Step 1 — Charge Before First Use

The Capillus® Pet Joint Wrap has a built-in rechargeable battery and includes a USB Type-C charging cable. Charge the device fully before first use.

  1. Connect the cableConnect the USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the power button.

  2. Watch the power buttonThe power button shows charging status while the cable is connected.

  3. Disconnect before useOnce charging is complete, disconnect the cable before starting a session.

Do not use the device while it is charging. The device is not waterproof — keep the device and charging accessories away from liquids and essential oils while charging.

Low battery indicator: If the battery is too low to operate the device, the power indicator light will flash when you press the power button. Charge the device before trying to use it again.

Step 2 — Position the Wrap

Wrap the LED pad around your dog's joint so that the light-emitting surface sits flat against the skin. Secure the adjustable straps snugly but comfortably — you should be able to fit a finger comfortably underneath each strap.

Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation.

Step 3 — Power On and Choose a Mode

Quickly press and release the power button once to turn the device on. The device will begin in the first lighting mode. Each additional press advances to the next mode.

Do not use the Pet Joint Wrap in conjunction with:

  • Photosensitizing medications.
  • Photosensitizing topical products.

Do not use the Pet Joint Wrap if your pet has any of the following:

  • Suspicious lesions, skin cancer, or unexplained lumps at the treatment site.
  • Broken skin, open wounds, rash, or blisters at the treatment site.
  • Active skin infection at the treatment site.
  • Known photosensitivity or a light-sensitive skin condition.

Consult a veterinarian before use if:

  • Your pet is pregnant or nursing.
  • Your pet is experiencing skin sensitivity or irritation.
  • Your pet has an injury, disease, is recovering from surgery, or is under veterinary care.
  • Your pet has recently received injected or topical steroids.

During every session:

  • Your pet should remain calm and comfortable throughout use.
  • Discontinue the session if your pet shows signs of discomfort, excessive warmth, restlessness, or attempts to move away from the device.
  • Immediately stop using the device if your pet shows signs of discomfort.

Not for every pet. The Pet Joint Wrap is not intended for use on pets with reduced tolerance to warmth or restricted mobility unless supervised closely, or on very young puppies or fragile pets without veterinary guidance.
