When your beloved pet suffers an injury or faces mobility challenges, it’s natural to want to do everything possible to help them heal and thrive.

What Are Animal Orthotics?

Animal orthotics are custom-made braces designed to support a pet’s limb or joint. These devices can help stabilize injuries, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, dealing with arthritis, or managing a congenital condition, a brace can be a game-changer.

When Should You Consider a Brace?

Here are a few situations where a brace might be the right choice:

• CCL/ACL Tears: One of the most common injuries in dogs. A stifle (knee) brace can support healing and may even help avoid surgery.
• Arthritis: Braces reduce joint stress and help pets stay active with less pain.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Braces provide stability and protect healing tissues.
• Limb Deformities or Weakness: Orthotics can improve alignment and function.
• Amputations: Prosthetics and orthotics can restore balance and mobility.
