Pet Orthotics and Prosthetics for Hermosa Beach Families

Hermosa Beach may be small, but its dog culture is anything but. The Strand is practically a dog runway, the beach volleyball courts always have pups watching from the sidelines, and the downtown pier area welcomes dogs at countless patios. When your active Hermosa Beach dog faces a mobility challenge, getting them back on their paws matters.

SoCal Pet Brace serves Hermosa Beach pet owners from nearby Long Beach — about 20 minutes away. Every device is designed and fabricated by Dave Kou, a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist (CPO) with over a decade of experience in human orthotics and prosthetics, now applied to veterinary patients.
