Veterinary Prosthetics for Dogs
Custom-designed prosthetic limbs that restore weight-bearing function, balance, and long-term mobility in dogs after limb loss.
Veterinary prosthetics are medical devices designed to replace a missing part of a limb in dogs affected by amputation, congenital limb absence, or severe trauma.
When properly designed and fitted, a prosthetic limb can significantly improve gait symmetry, posture, and overall musculoskeletal health.
When Is a Prosthetic Limb Indicated?
Veterinary prosthetic solutions are commonly indicated in the following situations:
limb amputation (front or hind limb)
partial limb loss
congenital absence of a limb segment
traumatic limb injury where reconstruction is not possible
cases where long-term three-legged mobility would lead to secondary orthopedic problems
Each case requires careful assessment to determine whether prosthetic use is clinically appropriate.
Not all amputation levels are suitable for a conventional socket prosthesis due to biomechanical constraints.
Clinical Goals of a Prosthetic Device
A well-designed veterinary prosthesis aims to:
restore weight-bearing capacity
improve balance and postural stability
reduce overload on remaining limbs
minimize secondary joint and spinal strain
support long-term functional mobility
Prosthetics are not cosmetic devices — they are functional medical solutions.
Custom Prosthetic Design — Not a Generic Product
Each prosthetic limb is individually developed based on:
anatomical structure of the residual limb
soft tissue condition and skin tolerance
gait and movement analysis
body weight and activity level
long-term functional goals
No standardized templates are used.
Each prosthesis is a case-specific biomechanical solution.

Prosthetics vs. Orthoses
Prosthetics
- Replace missing limb segment
- Used after amputation
- Restore weight-bearing
- Long-term mobility restoration
Orthoses
- Support existing limb
- Used when limb is preserved
- Stabilize or guide movement
- Rehabilitation or preventive support
If limb preservation is possible, orthotic support may be more appropriate.
Who Can Benefit from a Prosthetic Limb?
Pet owners
dogs after limb amputation
congenital limb absence
long-term mobility challenges
Veterinary professionals
post-amputation rehabilitation
