What to consider when looking for Veterinary Orthotics & Prosthetics

When it comes to Veterinary Orthotic & Prosthetic (V-OP) , expertise matters. Pets aren’t people—and they shouldn’t be fit with devices designed for humans. At OrthoPets, every brace and prosthetic is built with veterinary insight, animal biomechanics, and real clinical outcomes in mind.

We don’t copy-paste. We design for function, comfort, and long-term mobility, all customized to the individual pet’s anatomy and condition. That’s the difference between a cute idea—and a device that actually works.

And we don’t stop once the brace is built. OrthoPets provides end-to-end support—from custom design to fabrication, fitting, and ongoing case guidance. We partner with veterinarians and pet owners to ensure your patient’s journey is not just supported—but successful.

The OrthoPets Difference

At OrthoPets, we don’t just build orthopedic devices—we create mobility solutions trusted by the world’s top veterinary professionals. Our team includes experts in veterinary orthopedics, rehab medicine, biomechanics, and prosthetics, all working together to deliver devices that actually make a difference.

Every brace and prosthetic is handcrafted in our Colorado facility with medical-grade, durable & odor-resistant materials that hold up to real-world wear. We design for function first—not flash—and tailor each device to the individual needs of the pet.

Most devices are completed within 9 business days (M-Th), but we recommend planning for 3–4 weeks in case of unexpected delays. We prioritize quality over shortcuts—always.

To keep your patient’s recovery on track, we suggest booking their fitting appointment 3–4 weeks after submitting the impression. That way, everything runs smoothly.
