Pet Orthotics and Prosthetics for Seal Beach Families

Seal Beach may be one of Orange County's smallest beach towns, but its residents are deeply invested in their pets. The charming Main Street, the historic pier, and the quiet residential streets make this an ideal community for dog owners who value quality of life — for themselves and their four-legged family members.

SoCal Pet Brace serves Seal Beach pet owners from neighboring Long Beach — literally just minutes away across the San Gabriel River. Every device is designed and fabricated by Dave Kou, a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist (CPO) with over a decade of experience fitting orthotic and prosthetic devices for patients at the VA healthcare system. That clinical expertise in human biomechanics is the foundation of every device we build for your pet.

Why Seal Beach Pet Owners Choose SoCal Pet Brace

Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist Expertise

Right Next Door to Seal Beach

We're based in Long Beach, just minutes from Seal Beach. That proximity means convenient in-person consultations, precise hands-on casting, and easy follow-up availability — not a mail-order brace based on measurements you take at home.

We Work With Your Veterinarian

Your veterinarian knows your pet's medical history and is the best person to guide treatment decisions. We work alongside your vet as part of your pet's care team, providing orthotic and prosthetic expertise to support their treatment plan.

Common Conditions We Help With in Seal Beach

Dogs

  • Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears — partial or complete, surgical or conservative management
  • Patellar luxation — kneecap instability, common in smaller breeds
  • Degenerative myelopathy — progressive spinal condition affecting mobility
  • Arthritis and hip dysplasia — pain management and joint support for senior dogs

Serving the Seal Beach Pet Community

Seal Beach's small-town charm and pet-friendly atmosphere make it a wonderful place to raise a dog. The off-leash areas near the pier, the quiet walks along Electric Avenue, and the welcoming local businesses create a community where pets are truly part of the family.

When a mobility issue affects your pet's ability to enjoy those daily beach walks or leisurely strolls through Old Town, a custom orthotic or prosthetic device can help them maintain the active lifestyle that makes Seal Beach living special.
