Dog Arthritis Remedy

Weight loss is a huge remedy for decreasing arthritic pain in dogs. Weight loss relieves pain in dogs by decreasing the everyday stress on the joints. NSAID pain medication is the most common method for decreasing arthritc pain in dogs but is not the preferred method for long term treatment. Weight loss in a dog of approximately 10% of their bodyweight can provide as much pain relief as giving NSAID pain medication. (Average weight loss with the TrimDog Weight Loss System is 3-5% of bodyweight in 6 weeks.) If your pet suffers from chronic athritis consider getting them started on a weight loss program as soon as possible so they can enjoy a fit and healthy life.

TrimDog Exercise Belt for Canine Rehabilitation and Weight Loss

"Gizmo"

TrimDog's role in canine rehabilitation continues to grow as innovative veterinarians like Dr. Sybil Davis, DVM of Aiken Pet Fitness and Rehabilitation, continue to find creative new uses to help dogs get fit and healthy. (Repost from Aiken Pet Fitness and Rehabilitation's Facebook page:) "Gizmo has been using the TrimDog weight belt to strengthen his rear legs. He had back surgery and his walking ability has improved greatly since his last visit. The hydrotherapy retrains him to walk a normal 4 beat gait." Other Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioners like Dianne Logan of Wilmington Animal Fitness and Rehabilitation Center have been using the TrimDog exercise belt to maximize the amount of calories burned during treadmill walking to help overweight dogs lose weight more efficiently. With the help of some of the world's top canine health care practitioners, the TrimDog exercise belt is swiftly becoming the next big thing to help dogs get fit and healthy. We are proud to announce the upcoming release of our new DVD demonstrating the many applications of the TrimDog exercise belt in both physical therapy and weight management programs.
