My vet, who I love, did not recommend the brace but gave me a quote of 5-7 thousand for surgery but with the high probability of it needing to be done on the other leg within a year. Even though the cost of the brace is high, I went ahead with the brace and boy am I glad I did. I had some initial fit issues but they were all my fault and the the people at Hero brace were patient and VERY helpful. They responded quickly and always professionally. IF YOU FOLLOW the instructions and READ THE descriptions of the products you will find that many of the the negative reviews are from people who did not do that. Also, I do not leave my dog unattended for long periods, let along while wearing the brace. YOU MUST follow the instructions and follow through with the rehabilitation. I worked with him and he learned quickly to allow the brace to be put on, leave the brace alone and to do the exercises. Within a few weeks I noticed improvement. At about 2 Months he was at 60% of normal and now, other than being stiff sometimes from over use, he is back to normal. Mind you he is a 95 pound Shepard American Staff mix so he is large and built heavy. He is about to turn 10yrs old and now has the zoomies and is back to walking 2 miles every morning with no limping. He is almost off all meds and is a happy active dog. Every dog is unique but I would say that most of the fails are on the owners, not the brace. Just like with people, if you do not put in the work to heal, a brace on a human will also not be a miracle cure! You can see in the photos that before he could put little to no weight on his back leg and after 5 months he is fully using the leg, with full weight and his foot is flat on the ground. THANK YOU HERO BRACES!

I wanted to provide feedback. Rocket has two issues with his black legs. Found out about your brace when the other leg started to act up. I wanted to let you know that while we exercised and worked the first leg that was injured the second leg, utilizing your brace, does so much better. It's unfortunate I was unable to know of your company prior to his first cruciate ligament tear, but I'm glad that the leg that was braced using your product worked. Thank you! I hope more people start opting for your brace instead of surgery,

I got wrist braces for my girl last summer. The experience was a disaster. I was not able to get them through a vet or a physical therapist, which may have been part of the problem. Nonetheless, I was assured by the people on the phone at Hero Braces multiple times that they could take care of us. First, after I sen the casts made locally at the cost of almost $300 to them, I got an email telling me they were too loose and needed to be redone. After calling, and being in tears to have to start all over, I was told that they could go ahead and make them. After receiving them, my girl could not stand up in them and would not walk in them. After multiple contacts, I was finally connected with their veterinarian for a video consult. He was to say the least arrogant and very unhelpful and repeated multiple times that I should do what I’d already been doing for months and that it might take six full months for my dog to get used to the braces. By that time, my dog couldn’t even walk. Six months was not an option and it had never been communicated to me previously. I ended up having surgery on both of my dogs wrists. And wasting $2000 on a pair of splints that were never able to be used. Maybe their CCL braces are better, but their wrist braces are a joke. At least from my experience. Not only was their communication insufficient so we their support people.

As a parent of my beloved Cocker Spaniel I would do anything to improve her quality of life. It’s wonderful to know Hero Braces will be able to custom make her braces if needed. My friends, the parents of Orion greatly appreciated the custom braces which allowed him to enjoy walking again!
