National Pet Month will run from April 1st – May 2nd 2016. Now in its 27th year, it is a chance for us to celebrate the wonderful impact pets have on our lives. This year’s focus will be on the top ten tips for responsible pet ownership, reminding us of how important it is for us to provide the very best levels of care for our pets.
National Pet Month’s aims are to:
Top tip number 6 is ‘protect your pet against disease’. Your vet can provide you with advice on this, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware about PEMF for pets.
Did you know that pets use Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy too? Andy and myself have 3 adorable Jack Russell’s, Marley, Coco, and their puppy Betty (shown in the image below sitting on the Omnium1 mat placed on our sofa). When we are using our full body PEMF therapy system it’s guaranteed that they will come and sit next to us to use it too! Our dogs are in good health, but we like to let them on the PEMF therapy mat to keep them in good health and help prevent injury or disease occurring.
Most people tend to look at acquiring PEMF therapy only when a problem shows up. However, like humans, animals can also use health maintenance treatments. At the very least, them using the therapy should result in decreased costs with vet bills.
It is likely that because of their smaller body mass, they will require less time and less intensity than we would need. Animal’s metabolic rates are so much higher than humans, and therefore they respond to Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) much more effectively. When using the therapy on animals the PEMFs penetrate the entire volume of the animal’s body, including stimulating every individual cell in their path, to produce the results. As a result, by increasing the metabolism and energy in the individual cells of the body, the animals are often able to dramatically improve their healing, whether from injury, surgery, infection or other conditions. As in humans, there are terminal conditions for which magnetic therapies may not be effective.
PEMF Therapy has been practiced on horses for many years and there are many studies to show the benefits. Commonly used for bone healing and wound care, PEMF therapy can also be used on horses to ensure they are competing at the top of their game. Increasing numbers of veterinarians are using both static and pulsed magnetic fields in their practices. This is evidenced by an increasing supply from vendors of horse blankets, sleep pads for small pets, leg wraps, etc.
There is a vast array of different conditions in animals that may be treated with pulsed electromagnetic fields. PEMFs are often preferable to treatment with medications or may be able to be used alongside medications. As in humans, magnetic field therapies could be used for almost any condition, because of the very basic actions of magnetic fields on all biology. The conditions that are very responsive to PEMFs therapies in animals include:
