Greatest Products for Paralyzed Dogs From SuperZoo

July 16, 2018 by PetRescueMomma 5 Comments

Two dogs who participated in finding the greatest products from SuperZoo.

Disclaimer: I am not being compensated for this post. The products listed below are ones I discovered at SuperZoo and thought would benefit my audience.

One of the benefits of living in Las Vegas is that my city plays host to lots of conventions. SuperZoo was the most recent event for pet professionals and I had the opportunity to attend as part of the local press. It gave me the chance to check out and report to you the greatest products for paralyzed dogs.

More than 21,000 people attended the trade show, which is divided into two groups of professionals. They are made up of retailers who are looking for new products and dog groomers who want to enhance their skills through educational workshops. The groomers also demonstrate their amazing talents in competitions that go on throughout the week. It was wild. [Read more…]

How A No-Knuckling Sock Trains Dogs To Walk

July 6, 2018 by PetRescueMomma 31 Comments

 

A dog wearing a Walkin' Pets No-Knuckle Sock training dogs to walk.This story was updated July 2018.

Can you guess why this dog is wearing a strange contraption on his leg?  Let me reassure you that it is NOT a device to torture the dog, although it kind of looks that way. The boot is actually a unique tool called a No-Knuckling Training Sock that provides support for dogs who drag their back legs when they walk. The No-Knuckling Sock is just one of several new therapeutic devices available for pets with spine and neurological health problems.

Paw knuckling was one of the first signs I noticed when Sophie started to lose her ability to walk. It was a pretty typical scenario. She would try to take a step, but her hind paw would bend under itself so that her nails scraped on the ground. The sensation would cause her to stop in her tracks because she wasn’t sure where her hind paw had landed. It was hard to watch her struggle. I would have loved to have a device like the No-Knuckling Sock to help her. [Read more…]

How The Pet Support Suit For Disabled Dogs Keeps Pups Mobile

November 17, 2017 by PetRescueMomma 2 Comments

The pet support suit from AST keeps disabled dogs mobile.

Thanks to the magical powers of Facebook, I discovered an exciting harness for dogs with mobility problems. It’s called the Pet Support Suit for disabled dogs from AST – Animal Suspension Technology. The company has been making these individually designed harnesses for senior, injured, disabled and amputee dogs since 2006.

Eric Swisher, who founded AST, left several helpful comments on the Lessons From A Paralyzed Dog Facebook page so I contacted him for an interview. I think harnesses are one of the best devices to own when you are caring for a handicapped dog. I wanted to learn more about the pet support suit and why I wasn’t familiar with the AST company.
