I got a call yesterday from a fellow in Ireland asking me if it was safe to treat greyhounds with ultrasound.

Both the canine and equine market benefit extremely well from therapeutic ultrasound. Listed are several links to the large body of information supporting therapeutic ultrasound in horses. Not only is it a commonly used therapy, it works and has been supported by sufficient research. As in humans, it stimulates tissues, provides pain relief, speeds healing, increases joint mobility, increases tendon flexibility, softens scar tissue and relaxes muscle spasm. It works particularly well in tendon and ligament problems which many performance dogs suffer. The trainer will be able to diagnose these problems by evaluating gait, using thermo scans (like in the chiropractor office) and from palpation – the dog will flinch due to pain from pushing on the area. Use it 3 times per day – 5 minute treatments with lots of gel.

Hi everyone,

After quite a bit of research and development, we now carry therapeutic ultrasound specifically for treatment on animals. There is an extensive animal treatment manual included with this ultrasound purchase (English, French and Spanish) and will cover treatment on a variety of animals including dogs, cats and horses. In celebration of the long-awaited release of this product, we have put it on sale for $229US, marked down from the regular price of $249. This is a limited time sale...

In addition to our animal ultrasound product, we carry black-body radiation pet beds (fantastic for dogs and cats suffering from old age, arthritis or hip displaysia) and a some wonder pet furniture that is considered truly top of the line.





best wishes for all your pets!!

I would like to know if I can purchase the ultrasound for myself to use for hip bursitis and use the same one for my dog. She has received ultrasound in the past at a canine rehab. facility and I would like to continue it. Is it possible to get one ultrasound but recieve both manuals? (One for humans and one for animals) Thanks for any information.
