Serving the Laguna Beach Pet Community

Laguna Beach's canyon setting and artistic community create a unique environment for pet owners. The hilly terrain and numerous trails mean dogs here are active — and that activity can sometimes lead to joint stress and injuries.

When mobility challenges affect your pet's ability to enjoy the trails and beaches that make Laguna Beach special, a custom orthotic or prosthetic device can help.
