3D Pets: Full-limb Prosthetics and Carts with Alex Tholl

Historically, dogs with a missing front leg had few options but to hop along. If a "fake leg" could be made, the process was costly and cumbersome. Enter 3D Pets, a company whose mission is to bring animal mobility devices into the 21st century by incorporating 3D printing. Listen to cofounder, Alex Tholl, describe how 3D Pets is revolutionizing the field of full front limb prosthetics and frontend wheelchairs for dogs, and in turn, addressing both the physical and emotional lives of our canine friends. The product fits your pet like a tailor-made jacket becoming an extension of themselves with these qualities setting them apart: custom fit, flexible, breathable, lightweight, durable, water-resistant, adjustable, and modular (need a ski anybody?) for dogs of ALL sizes. But it doesn't stop there: need a custom helmet for your goat or a prosthetic leg for your duck, contact 3D Pets to see if it's a good fit - pun intended!!
