I took my boxer to the vet and learned that he had a torn ccl. The specialist we were referred to said that a custom brace was a good surgery alternative. This brand was not actually the one that was given to us, but instead, a much more expensive brand was suggested. I found animal ortho care and was impressed by the reviews. I put in to get a custom brace made and had my vet cast my dogs leg. My vet said that the customer service at animal ortho care was fantastic and they ensured that my dog was fitted correctly. I was advised by my vet that my dog should wear the brace for a few months. Well, my dog wore the brace from April - June, and I am happy to report that he is not limping anymore. He has now been walking without the brace for about 3 weeks. I also had a great experience with animal ortho cares customer service since my dog initially ate one of the brace straps and they sent me a new one immediately. Thank you so much! I am really glad that k chose to get my beloved dogs brace from you! :)

The straps work but seem to wear out at the spot at the buckle. I assume that is probably the normal wear point.
Hi Jim,
We are sorry to hear that your straps are starting to wear by the buckles! Over time, our straps can wear down and if they do, our straps and pads can always be replaced when needed. We hope your dog is doing well with the brace! Please let us know if you ever have any questions about the straps or the brace itself, happy to help!

There are a couple of things to consider when finding a wheelchair that works for your dog and Haute has figured it out. The ability to adjust both bathe height and location of the wheels is what separates Haute from the rest. If your pet has partial use of their rear legs, the wheels position can interfere with their movement. With Haute, you can adjust the position, height, and width between the wheels to best fit your pets situation. The only negative comment I have is the width adjustment is not very robust. The slot deforms easily and the bolts wont stay tight.

Was originally told my dog partially tore her CCL, vet recommended this company. Although I didn’t get to use it before my dog needed surgery, this company was so wonderful to work with and gave me a refund. There were responsive and so helpful. Cast mold Was easy to do. Wish it could have worked out for my fur baby but nonetheless this company is awesome!!
