About Us
We’re passionate about helping pets and their owners, especially those pets who have been impacted by an injury or condition that is keeping them from living an active, healthy life.
Pet Ortho Braces was inspired by Mark Robinson, following an extensive career leading Handicapped Pets and Walkin’ Pets, where his services helped the lives of more than 1 million animals across the world. David and Diana Vowels launched the ortho division as Pet Ortho Braces in Scottsdale Arizona in 2022.
David Vowels, CPO, serves as President and leads clinical operations for Pet Ortho Braces. David, an ABC Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist, has 20+ years experience evaluating, designing and fitting prosthetics and orthotics. He provides on-site and video consultations with pet owners and veterinarians to ensure they develop the best treatment plan for the pet.
Once a treatment plan is established, David oversees the custom fabrication, fitting and follow up to ensure optimal outcomes.
Pet Ortho Braces provides custom bracing and prosthetics for dogs and other animals to get them back to a healthy active lifestyle.

“Arnold was born with deformed paws so he could barely walk. His braces helped him so much as he grew. He’s now such a happy dog, loves the outdoors and hiking the mountains nearby.”
