Pet parents often worry about their furry friends’ health, especially when it comes to pain, inflammation, and anxiety. One innovative solution to treat all these concerns involves using targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology.
Zomedica, a veterinary technology company, is revolutionizing animal care and has harnessed the power of healing with PEMF through their range of Assisi Loop products, which can significantly improve the quality of life for pets.
PEMF therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic waves to target areas of pain and inflammation in pets. Nicole Westfall from Zomedica explains it, “Think about how magnets are drawn to each other. We’re using pulse electromagnetic waves from your body drawn to the sites of pain and inflammation to speed up healing.” This means that the therapy helps stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Using PEMF technology is straightforward for pet owners. The main product, the Assisi Loop, is designed for easy application. With a simple press of a button, the device activates, indicated by a flashing green light. The treatment lasts for 15 minutes and automatically shuts off when completed. The loop has a 10-inch treatment field on either side, allowing it to be placed near pets who may not enjoy being touched or directly on areas that need attention, such as their legs or back.
Each Assisi Loop provides 150 treatments, making it a cost-effective option for families with multiple pets. For those with pets suffering from chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, the Assisi Lounge is another excellent choice. This plush bed accommodates multiple pets at once and features a 12-inch treatment field, allowing pets to receive therapy simultaneously, even while they sleep.
In addition to addressing pain and inflammation, PEMF technology can also help with pet anxiety. A study conducted with North Carolina State University found that 65% of pets experienced complete resolution of their anxiety after receiving two 15-minute treatments eight hours apart for four to six weeks. The remaining 35% were able to reduce their medication, demonstrating the therapy’s effectiveness.
“This technology is not just for dogs,” Westfall emphasizes. “We have products for cats, horses, and even exotic pets like lizards and snakes.” This versatility makes PEMF therapy accessible to a wide range of pet owners.
