A limb restraint (10) for an animal comprises a first member (12) and a second member (14) which are moveable relative to each other. The members are relatively configured so that when they are moved to a closed position they define a space (16) which is closed sufficiently to prevent the withdrawal of an animal's limb therefrom. When the members are moved to an open position, they define an opening (18) there between through which a limb can be inserted into or withdrawn from the space. An elastic band (20) is coupled between the first and second members and extends across the opening. When an animal's limb is held within the restraint with the members in a closed position, the limb is effectively held between the inside surfaces of the members and the elastic band. The restraint includes a releasable locking mechanism (22) for releasably locking the first and second members together in a plurality of position which progressively reduce the size of the opening 18.
