ABOUT ORTHOPETS

OrthoPets offers a wide range of prosthetic and orthotic devices for disabled and injured animals. Their custom made solutions are available for both front and hind limbs, and include pieces for the stifle (knee), carpus (wrist), hock (ankle), and elbows. Items are made specifically for each individual animal, offering disabled animals the chance to remain active and pain free, and eliminating the hassles of pre-made splints that may not fit correctly.

Founded in 2003 by Martin and Amy Kaufmann, this multifaceted company offers a full time clinic in Denver, trained OrthoPets technicians in many major cities across the United States, and distribution centers worldwide. OrthoPets representatives are available for consultations with out of state and out of country clients via phone or video conferencing.

The OrthoPets team includes board certified practitioners, including Dr. Patrice Mich, DVM, MS. Dr. Mich is certified by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists (ACVA) and is the head anesthesiologist at OrthoPets Center for Animal Pain Management.
