If you have purchased an Ortho Dog brace and have concerns about the sizing for your pup, please reach out for a Fit Consultation in a timely manner. We are happy to work with you to find the right fit for your dog and make any adjustments, if needed. Participation in a Fit Consultation is required for an exchange. Exchanges need to be initiated within 14 days of delivery of your original order.

Exchanges

Step 1: Take photos of your dog standing in the brace and send them to our customer service team to review (Use the form below).

Step 2: We will evaluate your photos and help determine the proper size brace and send a new brace if needed. Note: Customers are responsible for shipping fees on exchanges. If you request an exchange after 14 days (2 weeks) from delivery date of your original order, an additional processing fee may be applied. We will invoice you accordingly for your exchange.

Step 3: When you get the new size in the mail try it on your pup to ensure it fits properly. Once you’ve confirmed the correct fit, mail back the brace or portions of the brace that did not fit.

We clean and sanitize the exchanged brace to the best of our ability, but because residual hair is inevitably trapped in the double-layered spacer mesh, we opt to donate exchanged braces to clinics and shelters that cater to dogs in need or dog caretakers that cannot afford brace.

Please note: It is common for dogs to need support and positive reinforcement to adjust to comfortably wearing a harness and brace. It is a new sensation, especially if your dog has never worn a harness or collar before. We can offer some support and suggestions around ways to help your dog become accustomed to using a brace and harness. We are not able to take returns if your dog is unable to adjust to wearing a brace.
