Straight legs? Perfect alignment? That’s not our specialty.

We work with the crooked, the complicated, and the wonderfully imperfect. 💪

Because every leg deserves the right support, no matter its shape.

We don’t manufacture perfection. We engineer possibilities. 🐾

Custom-made. Vet-guided. Patient-focused. 🐾

Every orthotic device we manufacture is designed around the individual patient’s needs and the recommendations of their treating veterinarian.

We work closely with your vet to ensure that each brace provides the appropriate support, protection and stability required during post-surgical recovery.

Because no two patients — or recoveries — are the same.

Working together for better recovery outcomes. 🐾

🐾 WHEN A WEAK OR DEFORMED CARPUS STOPS THEM — THE RIGHT SUPPORT CAN GET THEM MOVING AGAIN.

Carpus strains, instability, deformities and congenital conditions such as phocomelia can make normal walking difficult for your dog.

Our custom static carpus braces are designed to:
🐕 Stabilise the carpus
🐕 Secure and support the paw
🐕 Maintain functional alignment
🐕 Reduce unwanted movement
🐕 Help your pet return to comfortable everyday activity

Every brace is individually manufactured from a cast of your dog’s leg, taking their unique anatomy, alignment, pressure areas and condition into consideration.

Not an off-the-shelf brace. Built specifically for your pet. 🐾

Could a Hock Brace Help a Dog with a Torn Achilles Tendon?

A torn Achilles tendon (also called the common calcaneal tendon) is a serious injury that can make it difficult or even impossible for a dog to walk normally. You may notice:
-Walking on the entire back foot instead of the toes
-Difficulty standing or pushing off the affected leg—-Swelling around the hock (ankle)
-Lameness or reluctance to exercise

Treatment often depends on the severity of the injury. While complete ruptures frequently require surgery, a custom hock brace can play an important role in many cases, including:
✔️ Supporting the tendon during healing
✔️ Protecting the repair after surgery
✔️ Managing partial tears conservatively
✔️ Providing long-term stability when surgery isn’t possible

A well-fitted hock brace helps control movement at the joint, reducing strain on the healing tendon while allowing your dog to remain as active as safely possible under veterinary guidance.

If your dog has been diagnosed with an Achilles tendon injury, we’d be happy to discuss whether a custom hock brace could form part of their rehabilitation.

Healing Every Step of the Way ❤️

He is currently wearing a custom-made cervical support collar designed to stabilise his neck while he waits for the specialised surgical implants needed for his procedure to arrive.

Although surgery is the long-term solution, keeping the neck stable in the meantime is critical. This custom orthosis helps:
• Reduce excessive neck movement
• Improve comfort and minimise pain
• Protect the injured area from further damage
• Provide safe support during this waiting period

Every patient has a unique journey, and sometimes the right orthotic device can make all the difference in maintaining quality of life before surgery and during recovery.

At Animal Care Division, we’re proud to work alongside veterinarians to create custom orthotic solutions that help pets move, heal and live more comfortably.
