Orthodog, great device but maybe only for smaller dogs!
Orthodog is a wonderful device to help your dog, if it fits. There is plenty of support available to help you place the Orthodog in the correct way, if it fits. It is quite expensive. In my case I have had to continually plead for another size to be told the one I have fits, it doesn’t. Another brace is being sent with a used, larger, leg support. I don’t understand why we are not getting a new one as we paid for one that fits. So, after the frustration of emailing and talking to a very nice woman, I have decided to do something else for my dog. Don’t let this put you off trying it for your dog. If you are lucky enough to get a good fitting, it could help your dog heal. Update: I received a new body brace which fits better than the original and the larger, used knee brace. The knee brace now fits perfectly and I feel I can confidently use the complete brace. It takes some time to play with the adjustments but well worth it. She is happier now and wagging her tail. Last Update May 24, 2026: The brace has been really supportive of my canine pal’s knee over the last couple of weeks. However, the clips that keep the straps at the right length keep opening up and loosening the support. A little frustrating and causing anxiety in my dog because I’m having to continually readjust it. So now, turning to a moulded hind leg brace .

Hi Stephen, Thank you for providing feedback regarding your experience with the knee brace and for participating in the Free Fit Consultation. From what we saw the medium knee brace fit your dog but just needed to be adjusted to line up better. We focused on modifying a brand new harness for your dog because that seemed like the more obvious issue. Your order is out for delivery today. Please give us the opportunity to review everything again before you make a final decision. We are happy to help! Kind regards, Ortho Dog
