Custom prosthetics for dogs · Georgia

Mobility.Longevity.Wellbeing.

Every dog is different, so every prosthesis we build is designed around the dog. Partial-limb and full-limb prosthetics, braces and mobility devices, measured with a scan that takes minutes and needs no anesthesia.

Every step matters. Every dog deserves the opportunity to move forward.

Why prosthetics

Restored movement takes the strain off the joints that were compensating

Prosthetics restore mobility, reduce pain and improve overall quality of life after an amputation or a congenital limb defect. By replicating normal movement, there is less wear and tear on the joints that have to compensate for the missing limb. That wear and tear prematurely ages a pet and can increase pain.

Read more about why prosthetic support matters

A prosthesis provides

  • Improved balance and stability while standing and walking
  • Reduced abnormal load from compensating for a missing limb
  • More natural movement and better mobility
  • Protection for the remaining limbs from excessive demands
  • Confidence in everyday activities, including walking and play
  • Independence and quality of life

What to expect

From first exam to first steps

No casting and no anesthesia. The limb is scanned in minutes, and there is no recovery time from the scan.

  1. A veterinarian examines your dog

    The vet assesses whether a prosthesis is appropriate and what kind will work.

  2. The limb is scanned

    Lidar and photogrammetry accurately measure the limb for the new prosthesis in a matter of minutes.

  3. An engineer builds the prosthesis

    The scan file goes to a robotics engineer who creates the prosthesis and returns it to the vet.

  4. The prosthesis is fitted

    With the veterinarian's help, the prosthesis is fitted to your dog.

  5. Your dog learns to use it

    Rehabilitation teaches your dog to walk and balance on the new device. Once acclimated, your dog enjoys restored mobility, increased longevity and wellbeing.

Rehabilitation

Every prosthesis comes with rehab, and the facility is state of the art

Learning to trust a new limb takes practice. We collaborate with North GA Veterinary Specialists, whose rehabilitation facility has two therapists to work with your pet, underwater treadmills, an open training floor, and CT and MRI imaging on site.

Cost

A quote follows the scan, and the scan is free if you decide not to proceed

Every patient is unique, so the total depends on the degree of customization, the materials and the complexity of the amputation. These ranges give you a starting point.
