GBWhat 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

GBThe Ortho hip brace does not fit… The Ortho hip brace does not fit properly. The correct sizes were submitted. I'm suggesting that dog owners take their pets to an expert you is able to customize the appropriate hip brace.

GBBlessing of a Product! In 2019 Tansy tore one of her back ACLs and the following year, she tore the other back ACL; both were corrected with surgery. However, after that she began developing arthritis in her back and hips. Over the last several months, the signs of aging and the arthritis have quickly caught up with Tansy. She has been having a very difficult time moving around or standing for any length of time. Her front paws began to deform, likely in part due to her compensating for the pain and deformation in her back end. An Aunt told us about OrthoDog and said it had worked wonders for their dog. We knew we had to try it in hopes of giving Tansy a better quality of life for whatever time she has left. Tansy doesn't necessarily like wearing it, and she acts like a bit of a baby about it, but it has been nothing short of a wonderful little miracle seeing our sweet fur-baby being able to move around better, after only a few days of wearing the brace. It's still obvious in her mobility that Tansy is 15 years old, but the Orthodog brace has brought a little bit of her spark back as she seems to be in less pain and able to move around more freely. For all of that, we are extremely grateful and feel the brace is worth every penny! The customer service has also been fantastic - from verifying measurements so we make sure to order the correct size, to consulting on the fit of the brace after we received it. Thank you, Orthodog, for helping us make Tansy's life (and ours in return) better!

GBBe 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.

GBWorked Very Well For My Dog In 2020, my then 11-year-old dog was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament. I was hesitant to put my not-so-spring-chickeny pupper through major surgery. This brace was highly recommended by vet tech friend and seemed worth a try. The dog had unusual proportions, but a tailor made the necessary alterations for less than $15. The Cruciate Care Knee Brace gave my aging but still-wanting-to-be-active dog more than two years of much improved mobility and quality of life. Thank you for this wonderful product and the joy it made possible for my dog.
