We are dedicated to finding
the best support for your pet
Thera-Paw Canada is the Canadian office of Thera-Paw Inc., a company that develops, manufactures, and distributes splints, braces, soft orthoses, protective garments, mobility aids, and other assistive products for animals with special needs.
We know how difficult it is to see our pet in pain. It can be a heartbreaking and confusing experience for pet owners. This is why we are dedicated to helping you find the best solutions for your pet.
We continue to research and develop new ways to improve the function, mobility, and comfort of pets. Unlike most companies we can:
-
modify most of our products to best suit your pet’s needs
-
customize other companies’ products
-
work side-by-side with veterinary professionals to build a customized device that will best suit your pet’s needs
