Animal Ortho Care is amazing. I had ordered a custom brace from another company earlier that hurt my dog’s leg. I was hesitant to try again (and spend the money) but I am doing conservative management on my active german shepherd’s CCL injury and he really needs one. I was nervous about the casting process so I used one of their affiliates to help me cast. I’m glad I did. The company is quick to answer my questions seems to truly care that the brace fits perfectly and that my dog is comfortable. My 100 lb shepherd took to the brace easily. Even though he is still lame on his leg he is gaining muscle mass since using the brace. After he gained muscle mass, the company is helping me determine if the brace needs some adjustments. The other company was nice but did not take my concerns seriously when I mentioned my dog’s pain from wearing the brace. Which was extremely disappointing. You and your dog are in good hands with Animal Ortho Care. My dog is not a candidate for surgery because of an infection he had in the other leg during the other leg’s TPLO. I’m truly impressed with animal ortho care! I also want to say that the brace is way superior than the equally expensive brace I had from the other company. This brace is lighter, more comfortable, and supports the dog’s normal range of motion better. If you have decided on doing conservative management on your dog’s CCL and you’re trying to decide if you should get a brace and from which company, definitely choose this company. You and your dog will be glad. It’s a plus that my German Shepherd gets to sport baby sharks on his brace!

This brace is working well for my pup. My beef with the brace is the materials won't last. The straps are made of vinyl and the should be leather. The cost is steep and we should expect this product to last. My dog has been wearing hers for a month and the vinyl straps are already showing the wear, tearing slightly edges.
Hi Debra,
We are happy to hear the brace is working well and we hope for continued improvements for your dog! We are so sorry to hear that the brace straps are not holding up. Unfortunately, our company doesn't offer braces with leather straps due to them being made out of animal skins and hides. Typically, our vinyl straps do last longer than a month so we will be having someone from our customer service team reach out to assist. Please let us know if you have any questions, happy to help!
