"Ben" Lanteigne
Ben was so unstable with his bilateral tarsus deformity that he could not even climb stairs or get into a vehicle let alone run. From the moment his articulating hock orthoses were in place, Ben started to run. If a dog could smile, Ben was smiling.
"K-9 Orthotics took a young dog that most likely would have been euthanized and gave him a normal life."

"Abby" Wright
Abby injured her Right stifle early in 2005. Enough fibrosis formed to allow her some stability. In December of the same year, she injured her left stifle. Both were now positive for RCC and she could barely ambulate. Surgery was not an option due to her size. A bilateral hip and stifle orthosis has allowed her to return to a normal lifestyle.
"It's great when the client is satisfied with a product, but it"s truly wonderful to see a content patient"

"Noel" Theriault
Noel suffered chronic hip and back discomfort and then injured his right stifle. His normally long hikes were cut very short and exercising always left him lame for days afterwards. With the use of a unilateral orthosis, Noel is once again doing the Fundy Dobson Trail.
"Noel's owners are a mechanical engineer and a physiotherapist. They are very satisfied with his "knee brace" and the freedom it affords him."
