OrthoPets’ Evolving Business Model
Traditionally, OrthoPets’ model connects collaborating veterinarians with our Veterinary Orthotic and Prosthetic (V-OP) case managers through remote telemedicine.
This approach requires engaged pet parents and veterinary teams who are eager to learn and explore new possibilities in animal mobility. Many veterinarians embrace this model and successfully integrate V-OP services into their clinics. Others find it outside their comfort zone or area of focus—and that’s okay.
While OrthoPets already partners with clinics across the United States, Canada, and internationally, we continue to push the field of V-OP forward. In 2022, OrthoPets expanded collaboration by partnering with human Certified Prosthetist Orthotists (CPOs) across the country to elevate care even further.

A Certified Prosthetist Orthotist (CPO) is a healthcare professional trained to design and manage comprehensive orthotic and prosthetic care.
While their background is rooted in human medicine, OrthoPets provides additional training in veterinary anatomy, orthopedic and neurologic conditions, and V-OP device design.
At OrthoPets, we deeply value the veterinarian’s expertise and the Veterinarian-Client-Patient relationship. Our partnered CPOs work closely with veterinarians and follow all state veterinary practice act laws to ensure the highest standard of care.
