Light Therapy for Pets + A Giveaway

Light Therapy for Dogs

Trooper and I were recently introduced to something new by our pals at Luma-Tech. See Luma-Tech makes LumaSoothe, a Light Therapy Treatment for Pets. What exactly is that? Well my friends, it’s basically a special light that is used to heal!

Light Therapy for Dogs

LumaSoothe provides pain relief from deep joint & muscle related issues such as arthritis while also treating your pet’s skin & surface conditions such as Wounds, Eczema, and Hair loss. Since I don’t have any of those issues (lucky me right), the logical thing to do was to let my old pal Trooper be the tester on this one. Just look at his sweet old face…he’s perfect (just don’t remind him that he’s really just a year older than me). Trooper does have that worldly old look about him, and he does sadly have arthritis in his elbows, and has for quite some time.

Trooper never lets his arthritis slow him down though (he does have to keep up with me after all), and he lives quite a vigorous life on the farm. Over the years he’s done lots of things to keep himself feeling youthful including joint supplements, so light therapy seemed like a great thing to add to his regime to keep him ready to take on the world.

Trooper’s arthritis comes and goes in the form of a limp, and when he happened to start this light therapy experiment several weeks ago he wasn’t limping at the time.

Light Therapy for Dogs

Every evening before bed Trooper gets a 15 minute session with LumaSoothe. It comes with two different lighted heads on each unit, one for treating deep issues like arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, hip dysplasia, sprains & strains, back pain, deep surgical wounds, and deep muscle soreness – while the other treats surface issues like eczema, chronic pain, promotes hair growth and healthier skin too. Trooper has been testing out the deep treatment light for the past several weeks in the hopes that it will keep his arthritis pain at bay.

I of course was right by his side to lend moral support, and the best news is that Trooper’s limp has not returned the entire time he’s been testing out the LumaSoothe.

In fact, Trooper enjoyed the treatments so much on his joints that he tends to fall asleep during them. I might have been a bit jealous.

Regardless of my jealousy I’m just glad my pal is feeling good.

Glucosamine Joint Supplement for Dogs Review & Giveaway

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you met my best friend Trooper? If you haven’t, you’re really missing out! Trooper is the happiest and hardest working dog I know. While I spend a lot of my time on the family horse farm, my pal Trooper lives there, and his main goal in life is to help with the horses and ALL OF THE CHORES.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is 8 years old, and because of his breeding (he’s an australian shepherd/labrador mix) and his very hard working nature he sometimes has joint pain and arthritis that slows him down more than he would like.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Thanks to my new friends at TaylorHappy I was able to give him a little secret weapon against that pesky joint pain with the TaylorHappy Glucosamine supplement.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Supplements such as Glucosamine can help to decrease inflammation and improve the the dog’s ability to repair and strengthen tissues. No supplement will ever be able to reverse structural changes in a joint (like torn cartilage, calcium deposits, or advanced scar tissue), but it can help your pet lead a more comfortable life.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my buddy Trooper isn’t taking a Glucosamine supplement he has a noticeable limp, but when he is on a supplement such as the TaylorHappy Glucosamine his limp disappears and he appears more comfortable.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

TaylorHappy Glucosamine is shellfish free, so even dogs with allergies can benefit from taking this supplement. This formula also contains chrondroitin sulfate and MSM to help protect and strengthen the cartilage. Manganese and boron are also added to assist with the production of joint fluids and healthy bone tissue.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper has had a small amount of the liquid added to his daily meals (which he happily scarfs down) for the past month (since May 9th). And he’s pretty happy about it because it means his limp won’t keep him from joining in on all the chores around the farm.

When my best buddy is feeling good, I’m feeling good, because that means he’s  never in too much pain for a wrestling match!

A Day at the Beach // Ammo the Dachshund

Since I’m a little too young to need a supplement like Rejeneril myself I did not actually test out this product (I’ve already got more than enough energy to go around according to my mom!) But you can check out these honest reviews from some real life pups who did:

The general consensus from all these dogs was that it really works – improved skin and with a little more pep in their step, these dogs seemed to really benefit from taking Renjeneril.

Rejeneril is a supplement that you can give to your dog by placing a few drops (amount is dependent on size of dog) into your pet’s food.

Minnow goes to New Bolton

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

On Monday I arrived at the farm early to take my pal Minnow on a special outing.

Mom said Minnow was headed to the New Bolton Center, an internationally renowned large animal hospital, in other words the VET!

When we arrived I had to wait in the car, which was perfectly fine with me because going to the Vet is not my idea of a good time anyway.

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom said Minnow was very brave, much braver than I am at the vet, as he got his 5 year check-up for Ringbone (which I’m told is arthritis in his ankle).

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow even got radiographs done of his legs, and I heard he didn’t even need to be drugged!

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow told me later that he kept looking over his shoulder wondering when I would come in to hold his hoof and make him feel better about being poked and prodded. I knew no one could be that brave at the vet!

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow’s radiographs showed how much of a Super Hero he really is – as his bones have been trying to fuse together over the past 5 years to alleviate pain in his joint. In other words, he’s growing a bionic leg!

Chincoteague Pony, Minnow, visits New Bolton // Ammo the Dachshund

When we got back to the barn Boomer and Blitz were waiting for us, and I told them all about how brave our Super Minnow was and all about his bionic leg.

And incase you’re wondering about Minnow’s prognosis…..he and I still have many more years of superness ahead!
