Pet Orthotics and Prosthetics for Huntington Beach Families

Huntington Beach is known as Surf City — and its residents are just as active with their dogs as they are on their boards. Whether your pet is recovering from a knee injury, managing arthritis, or adjusting to limb loss, a custom orthotic or prosthetic device can help them get back to the active lifestyle you both enjoy.

SoCal Pet Brace serves Huntington Beach pet owners from nearby Long Beach — just a short drive down Pacific Coast Highway. Every device is designed and fabricated by Dave Kou, a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist (CPO) with over a decade of experience fitting orthotic and prosthetic devices for patients at the VA healthcare system. That clinical background in human biomechanics directly informs how we build devices for your pet.

Why Huntington Beach Pet Owners Choose SoCal Pet Brace

Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist on Every Case

Dave Kou holds a CPO credential — the same certification required to design and fit orthotic and prosthetic devices for humans. This means your pet's device is built with a clinical understanding of biomechanics, joint alignment, and gait mechanics that most pet brace providers simply don't have.

Close to Huntington Beach

We're based in Long Beach, about 15 minutes from most parts of Huntington Beach via PCH or the 405. That proximity means your pet gets in-person consultations, hands-on fitting, and easy access to follow-up adjustments — none of the guesswork that comes with mail-order devices.

Collaborative Approach With Your Veterinarian

Your vet is the expert on your pet's overall health and the best person to guide treatment decisions. We work alongside your veterinary team to deliver the orthotic or prosthetic solution they recommend — whether that's bracing as a primary treatment, a complement to surgery, or post-operative support during recovery.

Common Conditions We Help With in Huntington Beach

Dogs

  • Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears — one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs, especially in active and larger breeds
  • Patellar luxation — kneecap instability that can affect dogs of all sizes
  • Degenerative myelopathy — a progressive condition that gradually reduces hind limb function
  • Hip dysplasia and arthritis — joint support to reduce pain and maintain mobility as dogs age
  • Fracture support — protective bracing during bone healing
  • Limb amputation — prosthetic devices to help dogs adapt after surgery

Cats

  • Leg injuries and trauma — support for cats recovering from accidents or falls
  • Congenital limb differences — custom solutions for cats born with missing or underdeveloped limbs
  • Post-amputation mobility — prosthetics to help cats adjust and stay active

If you're unsure whether your pet could benefit from an orthotic or prosthetic device, your veterinarian can help assess their condition and determine the best path forward. We're also happy to provide a free consultation to discuss options.

Serving the Huntington Beach Pet Community

Huntington Beach is one of the most dog-friendly cities in Orange County. From the wide stretch of Huntington Dog Beach — one of Southern California's most popular off-leash beaches — to the walking paths along Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and the trails at Shipley Nature Center, HB pet owners love keeping their dogs active and outdoors.

When injury or age starts to limit your pet's ability to enjoy those activities, a custom orthotic or prosthetic device can help them stay in the game longer and more comfortably.
