DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT I m writing this review in an effort to save someone else the aggravation esp when already stressed B C you have an injured dog are trying to help it get better non surgically If you are considering this product Cruciate Care Knee Brace please read this review and go to the BBB website read all the negative claims before buying After purchase I received a shipping confirmation within AN HOUR of ordering it but when I had issues with it once my dog started wearing it it was a nightmare to get a hold of customer service When I finally did I spoke with Elizabeth the owner and developer They like to take payment but they do not like to help fix problems or offer refunds They state that they will not refund a product with hair on it so when you first get it you are to put a shirt over your dog and socks on its legs until you are sure the brace fits or you may receive a reduced refund or none at all I followed the rules and insured a proper fit The brace fit appropriately so I put it directly on my dog but after she wore it for about a day it became clear that whenever my dog would lay down the brace would slip down and literally hang up on the ankle of her injured leg See Picture Attached When she would try to get up the brace took her leg out at the ankle putting strain on the knee area The brace is dangerous esp for a dog who already has a CCL or stifle area injury I ll mention too that they throw it in your face that you agreed to and signed the return terms as if that is their magic words to not be liable for anything I tried twice to contact the company via their online contact form with pictures of the fit as well as how it looked when it slipped off and never heard anything Then I tried calling a little upset by now and was told they NEVER have problems with the online form and I now needed to send the pictures again to another email When I did Elizabeth emailed me back said it seems as though a custom fit brace would be better and I was to mail their brace back See emails attached Another thing I will point out is it states on their contact form Note If you receive a message that your email has been rejected as spam please try using an alternate email address The best method for contacting us is by using our contact form below If you continue to have your email blocked as spam please contact us by phone I have NEVER in my life seen this on a contact form and it made me think that they must have had problems somewhere to put this in writing but they NEVER have had a problem receiving contact forms A few days after mailing it back I had to contact them to see if they received it and I was told that I would receive NO REFUND at all because of the dog hair and that the elastic was frayed Again the issue wasn t with the fit I handled that procedure as stated in the instructions it was a DESIGN FLAW in the product that would never have shown up until after the dog wore it for a time and NO ONE would have left the brace on their dog over top socks and a shirt for days - completely unrealistic Also by them saying the elastic was frayed on a brace my dog wore no more than two days is only another testimony to the overall quality of the produce Don t buy this product it is a nightmare and dangerous They eventually refunded me 30 of the total fee of 262 I deserved a full refund I ll also comment that shipping initially cost 27 and I paid 9 45 to return it as per instructions and then they did not listen to me when I said I did not want it mailed back to me so I could Donate it Its dangerous why would I and THEY PAID POSTAGE AGAIN to send it back to me if you re are counting it was shipped 3 times The business is managed terribly and there is a lot of wasted money being spent but no refunds made when the issue isn t due to customer use error DO NOT PURCHASE

I wouldn t give this company a one-star
I wouldn t give this company a one-star if I had the choice Orthodog has been the worst customer service company I have ever bought merchandise from I very rarely write a review but seeing how my experience mimics all other reviews here I cannot resist These reviews are here so we can protect ourselves as consumers I have a dog with a torn ACL and looked into many options as others have on their reviews This brace is advertised as a effective brace for a much lower cost I can attest to the same treatment by this company as others have had Their customer service is pathetic They are polite to sell but angry if you are not satisfied with the product I had my vet prepare the measurements for this brace so my pup would have the best fitted outcome After providing the measurements and giving this brace a shot I have had nothing but losses I would have been much better off spending the 300 00 difference for a brace that was made for my dog This merchandise is not what it is descibe as It is a velcro slightly adjustable trap that locked my dogs hind legs to the floor because of the slippage in the knee fitting that cannot be resolved I spoke with the company in a friendly manner to explain my issues with the product to then hear I needed to take pictures of my dog walking in this brace as well as videos so they could make a recommendation on how to adjust the brace or send me another size Are you kidding I said the dog cannot walk in this brace He did not want to move after quickly learning the trap would fall to his ankles locking him to the ground I felt horrible not for me but for my dog I contacted my vet which help me with the initial measurements and again to help fitting the brace Even with expert help they said NO WAY is this going to work I PROCEEDED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY AGAIN They did not return my call Without resolution I then proceeded to contact my Visa company because they have a extra level of protection I have now opened 3 consecutive disputes on this item because the merchant attests that they have not received the merchandise back I have provided a tracking number Wth I will be contacting the Visa company again and the BBB NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE MERCHANDISE AND I AM OUT 254 00AS time goes on here I am sure we will hear them respond to my review with the same demeanor as they previously responded to others I absolutely would have been extremely joyful had this been what it was advertised to be I was anxiously waiting for the merchandise to arrive to help my dog and relieve his discomfort but it just became a horrible experience They will sell but not return that seems to be their ongoing MO I used this merchandise of course to try and get my dog fitted The merchandise was used 4 times for fitting purposes for a total of 4 hours My dog has hair so I am sure there are some residual hairs in the device but would you not expect they would know from experience how to refurbish or clean the returned merchandise from their customers I am just sick of dealing with this now its out of principle If you try this just know you have been warned

I bought this for my dog years ago for left rear and really didn t use it My current dog is having issues with right rear so i bought the attachment for the right rear leg Honest review this is an overpriced piece of junk It is almost impossible to attach as the say in the instructions and it will keep falling off even when you do If you want to try a brace buy a cheap one the cheap ones are no different than this one

They won t let you Return the item
We bought this for our dog Unfortunately it does not work for him he couldnt even get up wearing it This doesnt help dogs with a weak back Which is sad but we can try something else However we are truly unhappy to realise that they do not let us return the item We would not have been so brave to spend over 300 dollars to get this if we had realised it before purchasing We absolutely feel stupid I recommend not to buy it if you aren t certain it will work for your puppy Absolutely Unhappy with ORTHODOG

I ordered the OrthoDog Harness for my elderly Shepherd with hip problems Within a few hours of wearing the harness once we took it off of her she was completely immobile Please beware This harness doesn t work And on top of that they don t let you return the items once purchased---they re using the COVID excuse i e cleanliness and such however it s just a way for them not to refund your money for a faulty item I wish I had never put this on my dog Please BEWARE Instead of these hoax fixes go see a vet a seek an effective treatment option for your dog
