Partial limb prosthetics are custom-made artificial limbs that help pets with partial limb loss or amputation regain stability, comfort, and independence.
Each device is designed to match the remaining limb’s anatomy — using durable, waterproof materials for everyday wear.
At OrthoPaws, we design custom prosthetic limbs for pets of all sizes — most often dogs and cats recovering from partial amputations.
Our goal is to restore balance, reduce strain, and help your pet live a comfortable, active life again.
Many pets can get by on three legs, but over time this can lead to joint strain, spinal misalignment, and overuse injuries — especially in larger or older pets.
All OrthoPaws prosthetics are waterproof, easy to clean, and crafted for daily use. Most pets adapt quickly, rediscovering their ability to move with confidence and comfort.
For partial front or hind limbs with sufficient length below the knee or elbow. Includes a rigid socket, waterproof straps, soft lining, and a flexible “paw” pad for comfort and traction.

A lower-profile option for small pets or indoor use. Lightweight and soft for low-impact mobility without the bulk of a full prosthesis.

A specialized design for hind limbs missing key bony structures. Features an advanced thigh component and harness system that restores stability when traditional prosthetics aren’t possible.

To help your pet adapt safely, we recommend physical therapy during the first few weeks of use.
Rehab builds strength, balance, and confidence while reducing stress on the other limbs.
For pets using a front-limb prosthesis, we often suggest a supportive brace on the opposite leg to help distribute weight and prevent future injury.
Partial limb prosthetics require a healthy portion of the limb for casting and fitting.
We typically recommend waiting until skeletal maturity for a long-term device, though starter prosthetics can be made for growing pets if families understand that replacements may be needed.
