Our experience with OrthoPets has been flawless.
Living in the Caribbean we assumed it would be difficult to get our disabled dog ‘Molly’ a proper fitting device, well it wasn’t. We have a remarkable case worker named Shawna. She has consistently kept us informed, followed up on all of our queries and strived to make our experience and the devices the best it could be.
This product is affordable, reliable and has immensely improved the quality of Molly’s life.
We thank Shawna and OrthoPets for giving Molly a new lease on life and look forward to continue working with them.
Much gratitude,
Molly, Patrick and Caroline St Kitts and NevisAnkle Brace for Dogs Gallery
Innovative Biomechanics & State-of-the-Art Fabrication
Features
Innovative Biomechanics of Our Dog Ankle (Tarsus) Braces
The canine ankle (tarsus) is a unique joint susceptible to injury and instability. Tarsal plantigrade collapse, tarsal valgus, tarsal varus, post-op arthrodesis, and neurological presentations are common orthopedic injuries that can affect your pet’s ankle joint and cause pain and lameness. The OrthoPets Tarsus Brace stabilizes your dog’s ankle joint by creating a 3-Point Corrective System. This advanced biomechanical support system stabilizes your dog’s tarsus joint by applying a corrective force location supporting the tarsus joint and two counter force locations that complete the dynamic mechanical environment acting within the OrthoPets Tarsus Brace system.
Dog Ankle (Tarsus) Brace State-of-the-Art Fabrication
Your dog’s ankle brace is manufactured in our state-of-the-art manufacturing center through a digitizing process of the fiberglass impression. The impression is turned into a 3D model that is digitally sculpted to create your dog’s tarsus brace shape. The carved model is vacuum formed with advanced plastics to create the custom made brace. Once the soft medical grade foam liner, adjustable and replaceable straps and pads are added, the device is ready for delivery. The standard fabrication time to build an orthosis is 5-7 business days.

Our Friendly Professional Staff
Our highly trained certified veterinary technicians work in partnership with you and your veterinarian. We strive to facilitate the best possible experience and outcomes with an OrthoPets device. Our staff is here to assist you and your veterinarian from your initial case discussion, your device delivery day, and follow-up care. Our assistance does not end there. We are here to support your pet’s needs throughout this exciting journey towards comfort and mobility.
To begin this exciting journey, the most critical step is the evaluation for your dog’s ankle brace. Your veterinarian will evaluate your pet to determine the diagnosis, treatment options, and complete the brace prescription process.
During this appointment, a fiberglass impression of your pet’s limb is created, measurements and required media (pictures and videos) will be taken.
Your veterinarian may need you to order an OrthoPets Fiberglass Impression Kit to create this 3-D replication of your pet’s limb.
You can order the Fiberglass Impression Kit prior to your appointment. The kit contains tools, materials, and documents you will need to submit your case.
