Casting Kit

Everything you need

The kit has everything you need to cast your pets leg.
We did our first cast with our dog laying down. Our second cast we did with her standing. We needed help as it took 4 people. My husband is a Physician Assistant and has done many castings, we still needed extra people to hold the dog still, standing and the leg in the correct position.

We are so happy to hear that the casting went well and you were able to find extra help to assist! We know that sometimes it can be a little bit of a challenge with a wiggle worm! Please let us know if you have any questions once you get your brace in hand, happy to help!

Amazing brace!

We were told my girl might have a partial ccl/acl tear. Shes 57lbs and 12yrs old with a heart condition and diabetes and last time she was under anesthesia she reacted badly to it after so wanted to try a brace to help her for support instead of jumping into surgery. Love the brace, great quality, staff is amazing, super helpful and friendly, shipping to get the brace and to get modifications was quick. Im really glad I picked this company for her brace. She hasnt had it too long but shes getting use to it and I hope it helps her in the long run, thank you so much to everyone!
