Jeff lectured to 63 veterinarians with many orthopedic, neurology and oncology specialists in attendance, they where very surprised to the level of different applications K-9 Orthotics & Prosthetics  provide for the canine community and impressed by the quality of craftsmanship and pride K-9 Orthotics & Prosthetics put into each product.

As well, Dr. Johan had introduced Arjan J. Hodes, from the Hodes Group to assist K-9 Orthotics & Prosthetics with technical adjustment to immediately assist with patient comfort and function level. Arjan Hodes who has two dogs himself will be collaborating with Jeff Collins in a working relationship to enhance the orthotic and prosthetic professional services knowledge to the veterinary community for the betterment for our fury canine friends.
