Customers of The Pet Cabaret know that we are always interested in gentle, effective alternative veterinary treatments for our foot footed pals. Two of our favorite treatment modalities are acupuncture and acupressure. We, through personal experience, and many of our customers as well, have found these treatments to be enormously helpful to their pets.
Naturally then, we were very excited when we heard that one of our favorite animal acupuncturists, Claire McManus, was working with a small local company developing a new acupressure product for dogs with pain or stiffness due to arthritis, injuries, or other joint and mobility problems.
This company is in the final stages of development of the product and they are looking for dogs to test it
They need about 40 dogs (and owners), to test this acupressure product. It is totally non-invasive and clips onto their dog's collar for about one week.
Dog owners will be asked to fill out a short survey before and after using the collar. In return for participating in the trials owners will be given a $50 gift card to The Pet Cabaret.
They need dogs who are 25 lbs or larger and who have some challenges to their mobility and energy; for example difficulty getting up stairs or into car or stiffness / arthritis, limping after exercise etc.
Those interested can contact Claire directly a mcmanusacupuncture@mac.com. Please include your mailing address and phone number, name and age of dog in your email. Testing will begin in mid-May.
