Karma - Custom Carpal Supports

My little Pomeranian “Karma” was found as a stray with 2 major breaks in both front legs. He endured multiple extensive surgeries to repair the legs but over time, the legs began to weaken. Eventually he wound up walking on his wrists which caused pain and tremendous stress on his back. Several orthopedic veterinarians evaluated him once again and agreed more surgery was not an option. Thera-Paw was recommended and provided customized supports for his legs. Today he is walking tall and there is no longer stress on his back. He is a happy, happy boy in his new leg supports and you would never know he has a disability. Thank you Ilaria and Thera-Paw for enriching my pup’s life by making him more comfortable and mobile!

Ollie - Custom Tarsal Brace

THANK YOU, Thera-Paw for getting Ollie his replacement brace so quickly. Ollie has terminal, metastasized bone cancer, and we lost his original brace by driving off with it on the back of our truck. Thera-Paw rushed us a new one, with an adaptation for the tumor growth on the tarsal joint. We cried when we got the package so quickly-the brace is the only way Ollie can have any kind of a normal life. Here's Ollie in the pool today. I wish everyone in the world had a heart like you all!

Volando - Thera-Paw Boots

This photo of the three of us makes me smile (Volando, my wife and myself). This is our family foot “selfie”. Volando is our third consecutive rescue over the past 23 years. As you well know they are all wonderful creatures and it is our privilege to accompany her on all of her hiking adventures. Most days the walk starts by us asking Volando, “which way today?” She is delighted by all of the wildlife, vistas, filtered water, trail snacks and of course her Thera-Paws. Thank you again for all you do for Greyhounds and others.

Barley - Custom Boot & Tarsal Support

Our sweet tripawd Barley has limited use of his remaining rear leg, but he doesn't let that stop him. His custom boot and tarsal support from our friends at Thera-Paw makes walking and running outside so much easier and keeps his fragile foot so well protected. It supports his deformed leg so comfortably, and the interior lining cushions the fragile skin on his foot perfectly. The change in his demeanor when we put it on him was instantaneous. I swear he smiled..... then took off running! Thank you for helping us get and keep our dude out there doing what he enjoys most. He is loving life!

Thera-Paw Dog Boots battle Ohio's brutal cold

My yorkie isn't a fan of winter's here in Ohio. He doesn't like getting his feet wet or cold. Unfortunately that's an issue in Ohio during the winter months. So instead of trying to force my dog to go out into the snow during nasty weather I decided to purchase Thera-Paw Dog Boots for him to wear. I expected him to put up a fight or not want to wear them. But to my surprise he didn't mind them at all. The first time I tried them on him he was a little wobbly and unsure of his footing while wearing them so I took him outside and let him walk around for awhile. He got used to them in no time. Now he goes to the door and waits for me to put his boots on so he can go outside. It's the cutest thing. They keep his feet so warm and toasty and most importantly they keep his feet dry. They are perfect for any pooch who has to battle the elements.

Jinny - Thera-Paw Boot - Works great in the winter!

I know it may sound ridiculous to some people that I would buy boots for my dog, but I live in Pennsylvania up in the mountains where the winters are brutal and tough. Especially for an old dog like Jinny. The Thera-Paw Dog boots were easy to slip on and off of my dogs feet, and she did not fuss with them on at all. She was happy to go outside because her feet weren't getting wet and cold. I was happy because I didn't have to worry about her stepping on rock salt, or slipping on the ice. They are great because they have a no-slip rubber sole, and they completely cover my dogs paws and toes. I am very satisfied with the Thera-Paw boots because they are very well made, and I don't have to worry about my dog getting hurt when she goes outside in the winter anymore. These would even be great if you wanted to take your dog hiking. Jinny doesn't mind wearing them at all, because they are comfortable and don't irritate her feet. She looks happier because they give her feet cushion, and keep them warm and dry.

Tango - Hindlimb Dorsi-Flex Assist

Thera-Paw gave our Tango a new lease on life. Tango developed degenerative myelopathy which caused his left foot to knuckle and drag leaving his toes sore. We tried several types of boots on him, but none were successful. Our vet suggested Thera-Paw Dorsi-Flex -- it is wonderful. As he wore the boot, we discovered ways Tango needed to have the boot custom made for him. The owner of Thera-Paw was wonderful in working with us and our vet. He now has his boots and is more comfortable when he walks outside. Our friends tease us that Tango has his own shoemaker. I highly recommend the Thera-Paw Dorsi-Flex product.

Tomochi

We wanted to thank you for getting the boots to us so quickly. We were able to go for a hike on Sunday and thought you would like to see what Thera-Paw has done for Tomochi. We use to go hiking every weekend until the accident; this was the first hike since Aug of last year. We use to hike 8-12 miles one way; I was expecting maybe 1 or 2 but we were able to hike 4 miles each way with an incline of a 1000 ft. We could tell Tomochi was very glad to be out hiking again, Thank you very much.

Kobie - Carpo-Flex Sports Wrap

My golden retriever, Kobie, has been doing agility for many years. He is 10.5 years old now, and I have noticed his carpal angulation getting more and more pronounced, undoubtedly due to years of jumping and hitting contact equipment. On a friend's recommendation I ordered a pair of the carpo-flex sport wraps for him. At a recent trial he ran like a 5 year old, and completed his 5th Championship! I am overcome with gratitude for such a simple fix that allows my old guy to continue to run with me. You can see Kobie in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML8EbuyDzN8 Thank you again!

Murphy - Thera-Paw Boot

When our field golden, Murphy, was a little more than a year old, he got through the fence while chasing a rabbit, and was hit by a car. Fixing him required a metal plate to put his pelvis back together. Because of some late-developing nerve complications from scar tissue, a bone infection struck his two center toes on the paw on the injured leg. By the time he showed symptoms, it was too late. After trying every medication possible, many trips to the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and visits to countless other doctors, we finally had to amputate the toes to save the paw, possibly even the leg. That stopped the infection. But without the two load-bearing toes, he was reluctant to put weight on the leg, which over a number of months, became thin and weak. The weaker it got, the less he would even try to use it. It atrophied to the point that one vet said we might have to consider amputating the leg all together, rather than allow it to hang there. Rejecting that option, I literally searched the world for something that would support the paw -- trying boots for sled dogs, rescue dogs, police dogs, racing dogs. Nothing really worked. Then I stumbled on Thera-Paw and Ilaria. After many phone calls and a trip to a specialist at the end of Long Island, we combined weight loss, therapy and the TheraPaw boot -- which she had just recently developed. He started to make progress almost immediately. He began to use the paw, and the leg got stronger. Within a month, he was running full speed, chasing down Frisbees and generally living like a golden is supposed to. That was eight years ago. He's nine and a half, still wears the boot, and as you can see from the photo, is still going strong. I will always be grateful to Ilaria and to Thera-Paw for giving back quality of life to an amazing dog.
