Casting Tips:
When casting for a prosthetic it is important that you capture the distal end of the stump. The best way to do that is to keep the cut strip above the distal end of the stump about ½ of an inch, this will help allow you to capture the distal end in full.
If you have any concerns please send pictures and videos to care@aocpet.com.

Our dog, Peg, was born missing a front paw. Hopping is all she has ever known, and she got around really well, but when you're a Golden Retriever, that much weight and strain on one front limb takes its toll. We had to find some way to help her as she, at 6 years old, has arthritis in her front ankle and when she overdoes it she can't put her front paw on the ground at all. We ordered a prosthetic for her and while I was concerned that she would have difficulty adjusting to walking, she has done great. We had to first get her to trust weight on the artificial limb, but once she figured that out, her natural instinct took over and she was good to go.
We got the prosthetic in the estimated time frame and when we felt it needed a slight adjustment we were able to ship it back and get it returned quickly. I do wish there was more community support and suggestions for things on how to teach the dog to walk and go up and down stairs, how to make sure the prosthetic is a good fit, and how to make sure the limb isn't too tight or too loose.
Overall, I'm very happy with it. Peg can go on longer walks without getting overly tired or sore and it takes strain away from her good leg as well which is very important.

Great service! Thank you!
This prosthetic has changed Olaf’s life. After having sepsis and losing a hind leg and all of his toes on his other hind leg, he couldn’t even walk. He is an active pup that loves to play with other dogs and was always so sad watching him try to run on his two front legs. This prosthetic has helped him enjoy life more and now he can run with the rest of the dogs, swim, and even goes on nature trails. He is so much happier and so thankful for this company for making this happen for him!
The company offered a great service. After trying a week, we noticed the prosthetic needed some adjustments. We contacted the company. They responded immediately. We especially wanted to thank Angela Boncz for her wonderful service. After she made the adjustment, she sent back the prosthetic second day. Thank you! Angela. The prosthetic changed my dog's life. She wears it everyday, running and chasing squirrels. No words can express our thanks to Animal Ortho Care.
The product arrived well packaged and fits her well. She is adjusting to it, but I do think some alterations are necessary not sure how to describe it in the return form. I would be willing to drive from New York for an in person consultation to see how to better fit her prosthetic.
