The Spark of Life is Back Our 12 year old German Shepherd has severe hip dysplasia, but is in overwise great health. She loves walks, but got to the point where she couldn't go for a walk, and she would lie around looking very unhappy. We looked into surgery, but the money is out of our budget range, so we tried the Ortho Dog brace about a month ago. I waited to write the review because at first she didn't really like it because it changed her gait. The first week, I would have given this product three stars. However, she knows the brace means a walk and that makes her happy. We started with very short walks where she would tire out and I thought I would have to carry her home at some points, but we kept at it. But the walks just keep getting longer and she is getting stronger and is much happier. Is this going to "fix" hip dysplasia? No, only surgery would do that. Keep your expectations realistic. For us, this brace has put the spark back in our dog. One month of use for us. Five stars.

Be very sure you are able to waste a… Be very sure you are able to waste a lot of money when it doesn’t fit properly. My dog is tall and thin (I wish I had seen some reviews here before buying) and even after watching all the videos multiple times, reading all the instructions over and over and sending pictures and emailing back and forth (customer service does try) I couldn’t get the brace to stop sliding down past his knee when my dog sat. I even took the brace to my vet - the technician had no luck, and the vet said the brace would work only for a limited range of dogs depending on body size and leg length. I had high hopes and gambled - and LOST. Be very, very sure before you take the chance.

I am so pleased with the customer… I am so pleased with the customer service here . I have only had a couple days use of the brace for my dogs torn acl but when I finely got it on properly, she just seemed so excited and happy and trying to bounce all over the place. This company was most helpful and I am very grateful to have found them . I will give them 5 stars now because the service I got was amazing! It was a little difficult to get to fit at first but once I did, so far, so good! Very please and next will be for her hip dysplasia

My McNab collie was such a fast runner… My McNab collie was such a fast runner she tore her ACL going full out. After taking her to the Vet he suggested surgery. Our girl, being a rescue baby, suffers from many anxieties, so we decided that experience would not be an option. I couldn't put her through more trauma. Fortunately, I watched a positive Youtube video about Ortho Dog. Following their website instructions, I placed my order.The customer care I received from that moment on was the best I have ever received from any vendor, online or in person. I feel that they would still be there for me anytime going forward. I was even contacted to confirm her measurements, which I did not get correct. Sarah worked with me so the fit was great. Instruction for me to attain success was unlimited. It did take me a few trial and errors to get everything where it needed to be to give Bree the stability she needed. Sarah worked with me every step of the way. It was my learning curve, not the brace. Best decision ever to be a Ortho Dog client - forever grateful.

What an amazing company What an amazing company! I ordered a brace for my 14-year-old dog Molly, who had surgery on her cruciate ligament when she was 10 years old (to the tune of $2,500+) and has recently injured the same ligament. Our vet is "on vacation" for 2 weeks and we needed immediate care for Molly. Our vet (well, an assistant because Molly's vet was on vacation) gave us 3 options: put your dog down (NOT an option in our opinion unless she is suffering), get additional surgery, (not really an option because her ligament is torn where you repaired it 3 years ago and she is almost 14, so putting her under anesthesia
