Silver+ Contour Memory Foam Dog Bed

Memory Foam dog bed by ViVet reacts to body heat and weight by 'molding' to your pet's body thus distributing the body weight over a larger area and relieving pressure on joints. Our physiotherapy vet recommends Silver+ Comfort dog beds especially for dogs troubled by arthritis and joint problems, elbow or hip dysplasia, as well as large breed dogs and senior pets. The Cool Gel Memory Foam bed helps prevent pressure sores particularly for dogs who spend more time resting and the firm padding should make it easier for your pet to get up after lying down.

Dr Buzby’s ToeGrips

Dr Buzby’s ToeGrips™ are the only product on the market that use dogs’ normal biomechanics, by providing traction through their toenails. With this unique approach, ToeGrips provide improved mobility and stability, increased confidence, and proprioceptive stimulus.

A complete shoulder and hip harness system that literally lifts the lives of aging or recovering dogs! By placing a pair of handles where you can quickly reach them, this unique dog harness allows you to lend support at any time.

These devices provide targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (targeted PEMF) in a portable, easy-to-use format that can be used in clinic or in the home. The Loop has been proven to reduce pain and inflammation and has been cleared by the FDA for palliative treatment of post-operative oedema and pain in humans.

Encore Mobility™ Deer Velvet and GLM Joint Supplement

Dr. Buzby’s Encore Mobility™ Joint Supplement contains bioactive New Zealand Deer Velvet with Green Lipped Mussel in a tasty chewable tablet, the perfect joint supplement for your dog to improve joint mobility and boost stamina.
