We have over 30 years of experience in the evaluation, fitting and fabrication of leg braces, other orthotic devices and prosthetics. We thoroughly understand the biomechanics of animals and properly apply them to the design of our devices which allows our patients to walk, run and play with less pain and more comfort. Our deep roots in human orthotics and prosthetics provide a strong foundation for satisfying the needs of pet patients, clients, veterinarians and animal rehab professionals.
Strider was the Chairman of the Board until his passing in 2014. He was a lovable Golden Retriever for his entire life. His career as a successful dog resulted in an in-depth understanding of all things canine. He consulted over the years with many well-known yards, trees and fire hydrants and was recognized as an expert in choosing the best ones. He was a constant inspiration and always reminded us of what we are really all about.
