By Travis McDermott DVM

In today’s shopping landscape, there’s a pet product for every aspect of your pet’s life.  There are endless amounts of toys, furniture, bowls, collars, leashes, and even clothes.  But what about products that are designed to address your pets medical condition? These pet health products don’t get much press, but can be integral to your pet’s recovery or quality of life if injured or sick.  I polled not only the veterinarians at our 8 doctor small animal clinic, but all of the veterinarians I knew through social media. What we came up with were 5 amazing products used to aid with some sort of medical condition.

1. MUFFIN’S HALO – GUIDE FOR BLIND DOGS

PET PRODUCT FOR BLIND DOGS

For pet parents who want the best for their blind dogs, Muffin’s Halo is an innovative device that enhances their lives. It is a three-piece device with wings and a harness made of high quality material to provide maximum comfort to your dog. One of the number one injuries that we see in dogs with visual issues is corneal ulcers/scratches on the eye from bumping into hard surfaces.  This can lead to complications including infection and sometimes the need to remove the eye.

Muffin’s Halo helps dogs with lost or impaired sight to navigate their surroundings confidently and safely and provides full protection to help your blind or visually impaired dog adjust to their condition as they lead a bump-free life. The material is lightweight, comfortable and easy to spot clean or machine wash.

2. NO FLAP EAR WRAP

The No Flap Ear Wrap provides peace of mind for pet parents while their pet is healing from a hematoma surgery, ear infection, or other ear related injury. Because the ears are so vascular and easy to damage, preventing injury from head shaking can remarkably decrease healing time.

The No Flap Ear Wrap is made from a high quality, breathable mesh material that makes it durable and strong. It is extremely soft and less constrictive than a thicker wrap made with standard bandaging materials, and it provides ear flap accessibility for tending or checking ears during treatment. The No Flap Ear Wrap comes in 6 different sizes and colors so you can choose the best fit according to your pet’s breed and size.

Features of the No Flap Ear Wrap

  • Aids in recovery from most ear injuries
  • Provides both post-surgical and general ear protection
  • Available in two different materials based on lifestyle and multiple colors

Lick Sleeve is the most effective and safest solution for protecting a dog’s leg from destructive licking and biting after surgery or injury while allowing airflow to speed wound/incision healing. It is made of a premium quality soft, flexible, and breathable fabric material with a patent-pending design that allows natural activity and movement, which reduces stress.

The Lick Sleeve gives 100% complete coverage from ankle to hip and provides full protection from licking and biting, abrasions, scratching, mud and grime, etc. Its fabric material is free of any toxins or harsh chemicals that could be harmful to the wound (or your pet).

This pet health product easy to adjust, provides a secure fit, and is even interchangeable for both the right and left back legs.
