My dog was diagnosed with a torn CCL. The only option provided by the vet was surgery which required 8 weeks of recovery with an 85% chance he would get it in the other rear leg if he had the surgery due to the 8 weeks of inactivity. Thank goodness a friend referred Animal Ortho Care. After 2 weeks of wearing the custom brace, my 11 year old dog was off pain medication and looked forward to wearing the brace everyday. An added bonus is that it seems that scar tissue is starting to form and he is walking much better when not wearing the brace. I would definitely recommend investing in a custom brace prior to the surgery route. If the CCL is not fully torn, it could reduce unnecessary stress for your pup ( and you).

Excellent craftsmanship, quality, and durability! Cyborg doesn’t always put weight on the leg with the torn ACL when wearing the brace, but I love that she has the option when running or varmint hunting. That stability is there to take the pressure off the good leg, and that gives us huge peace of mind!

Our puppy hurt her shoulder, we use the balance discs for her to stand on. They are very well made.
