Pet Orthotics and Prosthetics for Torrance Families

When your pet is dealing with a leg injury, chronic joint condition, or limb loss, finding the right support can make a meaningful difference in their daily comfort and mobility. A custom orthotic or prosthetic device — built specifically for your pet's anatomy — provides the kind of targeted support that off-the-shelf products can't match.

SoCal Pet Brace serves Torrance pet owners from neighboring Long Beach — just 10 to 15 minutes away depending on where you are in the city. Every device is designed and fabricated by Dave Kou, a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist (CPO) who spent over a decade fitting orthotic and prosthetic devices for patients at the VA healthcare system. That hands-on clinical experience in human biomechanics is the foundation of every device we build for your pet.

Services Available to Torrance Pet Owners

Custom Orthotic Devices

Orthotic braces provide structural support and joint stabilization for pets dealing with:

  • CCL/ACL injuries — Cruciate ligament tears are one of the most common reasons pet owners seek orthotic support, particularly for medium and large breed dogs
  • Arthritis and age-related joint degeneration — Bracing can reduce discomfort and help maintain function in pets with progressive joint conditions
  • Post-surgical recovery support — Your veterinarian may recommend protective bracing while your pet heals from an orthopedic procedure
  • Carpal and tarsal instability — Support for wrist or ankle joints that hyperextend or collapse under weight
  • Neurological conditions — Assistive devices for pets with nerve-related weakness or loss of limb control

Why Torrance Pet Owners Choose SoCal Pet Brace

Clinical Credentials That Matter

A CPO credential means Dave Kou has completed the same rigorous education and clinical training required to fit orthotic and prosthetic devices for humans. That expertise in biomechanics, gait analysis, and joint alignment translates directly to building better devices for your pet. It's a level of clinical knowledge that most pet brace providers don't offer.

Right Next Door to Torrance

We're based in Long Beach, a short drive from anywhere in Torrance — whether you're in Old Torrance, the South Bay, or near the Del Amo area. That proximity means in-person evaluations, precise hands-on casting, and easy follow-up availability. No shipping a mold kit back and forth, no guessing on measurements from home.

Your Veterinarian Leads the Way

We believe your veterinarian is the most qualified person to guide your pet's treatment. Our role is to support their recommendations with expert orthotic and prosthetic fabrication. Whether your vet suggests bracing as a standalone approach, as a complement to surgical intervention, or for post-operative protection, we'll deliver the device that fits their treatment plan.

  • Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears — both partial and complete tears, managed surgically or conservatively based on your veterinarian's recommendation
  • Patellar luxation — kneecap instability ranging from intermittent to chronic
  • Degenerative myelopathy — progressive loss of hind limb coordination and strength
  • Hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis — ongoing joint support to help dogs stay comfortable and mobile
