manikantaHow Does Assisi Loop Therapy Benefit Senior Dogs? An Interview with Dog Owners
From daily nature walks to trips to the park, we treasure the routines we’ve created with our dogs. Routines provide great bonding opportunities and ensure our pups get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. However, as our dogs age, adjustments are often necessary to accommodate their changing physical abilities. As pet owners, we are in the best position to notice signs of aging and create a care plan that helps our senior dogs age comfortably. In this article, we’ll share stories of senior dogs like Pickles, Maggie, and Pebbles and how Assisi Loop Therapy has played a key role in managing pain and improving their quality of life.
Miss Pickles’ Journey with Assisi Loop Therapy
For some dogs, the effects of aging are accelerated by lifestyle factors. This was the case for Miss Pickles, a 10 ½-year-old pug who developed early-onset arthritis. Her owner, Margaret, noticed signs of arthritis when Miss Pickles became stiff at night—one of the common signs of discomfort in senior dogs. When looking for ways to ease her pain, Miss Pickles’ veterinarian recommended the Assisi Loop®, a targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF™) therapy device that helps reduce pain and inflammation without drugs.
“It was so easy to use,” Margaret happily reports. “After four months of Assisi Loop Therapy, Miss Pickles is less stiff!” Not only is the Assisi Loop drug-free, but it’s also non-invasive and side-effect free, making it the perfect intervention for senior pets. It’s also portable, allowing senior pets to reduce pain and inflammation from the comfort of home. Margaret adds, “It makes me feel so much better. We’re being proactive with her comfort without the use of any pharmaceutical medications.”
How Assisi Loop Therapy Improved Maggie’s Quality of Life
Maggie, a 14-year-old Bichon Poodle mix, was an active dog, regularly hiking with her owner, Nicole. However, Nicole, a Fear Free certified dog trainer, began noticing signs of aging in Maggie—longer recovery times, stiffness after walks, and increased sleep. As a senior dog with joint inflammation, Maggie’s body was slower to heal. Nicole turned to Assisi Loop Therapy for senior dog joint pain and saw immediate benefits.
“Getting her used to the Assisi Loop Lounge pad was easy,” Nicole recalls. “My dogs love their Assisi Loop Lounge, and Maggie climbed right on. She didn’t even know anything was different.” After six months of use, Nicole noticed faster recovery times after busy days and relief when Maggie felt sore or off. “A quick session with Assisi Loop Therapy greatly helps,” she explains. Nicole loves the Loop’s portability and versatility. “Sometimes I put the pad on her dog bed or on the bed with me and cover it with her favorite blanket. She can relax and recover at the same time. A pet that is pain-free and happy is my goal, and I’m so happy Assisi helps us reach that.”
Pebbles’ Journey with Senior Dog Dementia and Pain Management
Pebbles, a 15½-year-old Maltese, remained active and playful well into her senior years. However, her owner Brandi noticed subtle signs of aging, including stiffness and symptoms of Canine Cognitive Disorder (CCD), also known as dog dementia. Along with these mental challenges, Pebbles also dealt with separation anxiety and physical discomfort.
“A couple of years ago, we were introduced to Calmer Canine to help with some of Pebbles’ separation anxiety issues,” Brandi recalls. “At the time, it was exactly what we needed, and it not only helped Pebbles but Bruiser & Jax, as well.” The Calmer Canine Anxiety Treatment System™, which utilizes similar tPEMF technology as the Assisi Loop, helps canine anxiety by reducing inflammation in the emotional center of the brain.
With her anxiety under control, Brandi turned to the Assisi Loop for senior dog inflammation to address Pebbles’ stiffness and pain. “It was super easy to just lay the Loop on top of her while she rested at my feet,” Brandi says. “Pebbles is less stiff and more active, ready for the next adventure! I would most definitely recommend the Assisi Loop as a treatment for inflammation and discomfort in senior pets. We never leave home without it!”
