About
OrthoPets is a veterinary orthotics and prosthetics center that specializes in creating custom-fit devices for pets. They offer solutions for various injuries and conditions, including cranial cruciate ligament injuries, wrist and paw issues, and ankle and paw problems. Their approach involves a collaborative effort between veterinary specialists, 3D technologists, and engineers to tailor devices to each patient's specific needs.
OrthoPets operates by having pet owners start an order online, followed by veterinarians making a fiberglass impression of the pet's limb using a complimentary kit. The custom brace is then handcrafted and shipped to the veterinary clinic for fitting, with a final check ensuring proper fit.
