Custom Support Braces
Pawthotic Support Braces are designed to provide light to moderate support for various ailments of your pet's limbs. The brace itself is custom made-to-measure from a supportive Velcro receptive backed neoprene, and then the fun starts.
With a choice of different stabilizing materials, the support and rigidity factor can be increased to provide the desired support needed for your pet's diagnosis, and then decreased as your pet's health improves through the stages of rehabilitation.
Working with your Veterinarian and/or K9 Rehabilitation Therapist, the best outcome can be achieved through a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach to the rehabilitation process, much like in us human's.
