We offer non-surgical options that will help your pet to regain mobility and the freedom to live a more normal and healthy life.
Custom Orthotic Solution
Providing an alternative route of treatment for many conditions. Custom veterinary orthotics can be a non-surgical solution.
Custom Prosthetic Solution
Prosthetic mobility solutions for pets with limb loss. Custom alternatives to facilitate your pet's gait. The old saying that a 3-legged dog does fine has been disproven through advanced research at Colorado State University among other research facilities. 4-legged animals do better and suffer less compensatory problems than their 3-legged friends.

Stifle (knee) Orthosis
Stifle devices are effective for: cruciate ligament injuries, fracture management, to prevent injury of a dog leg, torn ACL or other ACL injury, ligament injuries, CCL tear, knee injury, CCL injury, hind leg support, as an alternative to surgery, and other rear leg injuries in dogs of the knee joint.
Carpal (wrist) Orthosis
The carpus is composed of 3 joints, 7 carpal bones, 2 antebrachial bones (radius and ulna), and 4 or 5 metacarpal bones. There are multiple ligaments holding this structure together. Injuries can occur at any of the 3 joints (antebrachiocarpal, middle carpal, or carpometacarpal); additionally any of these bones can be displaced (luxated) or fractured.
Tarsal (ankle) Orthosis
For achilles injuries, tarsal and metatarsal injuries and rehabilitation.
Elbow Orthosis
The most common reasons for considering an elbow orthosis include dynamic luxation (dislocation) and osteoarthritis.
