FAQs

Exchanges & Shipping

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 3 photos of your dog standing in the brace and send them to our customer service team to review (Use the form below). The best photos to help us help you are taken in good lighting so we can see how all the components of the brace are interacting. Please send:

  • a standing profile from the left side, taken straight-on, nose to tail
  • a standing profile from the right side, taken straight-on, nose to tail
  • a photo from above, looking straight down, showing the whole back head to tail

Step 2: We will evaluate your photos and if the size is correct we will suggest adjustments to get the proper fit. If your brace is too small or too big, we will gladly exchange for the correct size. 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. Feel free to check in for another fit consultation. 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 do not take returns if your dog is unable to adjust to wearing a brace.

Send Us Your Photos

  • If needed, please attach some photos of your dog standing in the brace so that we can check the fit and application. We will be able to give you better advice if we can see the brace on your dog. Please Note – The maximum size for combined attached photos is 10 MB.
