Four Leg BLOG:
Collagen, Foot Pads, and Osteoarthritis
|

“Hey! Do you have any suggestions for my dog’s foot pads?”
I’ve heard this question a few times. Maybe you have as well. It comes from owners who have dogs with sensitive pads, dogs with rough cracked pads, or dogs with pads that ‘burn out’ or develop sores when doing agility, flyball, or field training. I’ve never had an answer, until recently, when I told two different owners to try giving their dogs collagen as a trial.
I take a scoop of collagen in my coffee in the morning. It makes it a bit thicker but doesn’t really have any flavour. I started doing it when I was on the ketogenic diet kick. I don’t do keto anymore, but I kept up with the collagen. What have I noticed? I don’t know! However, upon reflection, I do think that my skin looks better than it did 5 years ago! And really, that’s the only thing I can attribute it
to!
But back to the dogs… These two owners tried it for a month and at their most recent appointments, I asked what they thought. Both of them thought it was helping their dogs. Both dogs had sensitive pads that seemed to damage easily… but over the month they seemed to be more resilient. Both owners were going to continue on.
So, I thought, maybe I should check some research on the subject. Here’s a bit of what I found:

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc,
etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the
Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! Go there... Check it out!!!

Have a great week everyone!
Until next time... Cheers!
