Help ‘Em Up Harness
The Help ‘Em Up Harness is an unique, full-body lifting device that enables owners with aging dogs to help those dogs remain active when arthritis, hip dysplasia, muscle loss, or surgical repair impairs a pet’s mobility and physical strength for every day functions – from getting up off the floor, up and down the stairs or in and out of cars.
Veterinary neurologists and surgeons, rehab therapists and technicians use and recommend the harness for dogs rehabilitating after surgery or recovering from injuries.
By placing handles over the hips and the shoulders, the Help ‘Em Up safely lifts from underneath the chest and pelvis, allowing you to help your dog get up and perform other tasks of daily living without putting pressure on the sensitive organs in the abdomen.
By using the handles on the harness, it allows you to lift your dog without putting too much stress or strain on your own back. The harness is comfortable enough to be worn all day and machine-washable if it gets soiled.
Walkin’ Wheels Wheelchairs by Handicapped Pets
These wheelchairs are fully adjustable, enabling us to fit them to any dog, cat, rabbit or even a goat! They are sturdy and can go anywhere, including the beach to wade in the water (no swimming!).
You can even get skis if you and your dog like to hike in deeper snow. Full kits are available for purchase and we also have a rental program for those who may only need their carts for the short term.
At NCCC, we often use the carts like walkers are used for people when recovering from spinal cord injuries and needing to learn how to walk again. We offer complete fittings and are able to order any special accessories you might want/need for your cart.
The Assisi Loop
The Assisi Loop provides targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF) therapy. Assisi’s patented targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF™) signal delivers a micro-current to damaged tissue that is precisely tuned to trigger an animal’s own natural anti-inflammatory process.
The electromagnetic signal, which is one-one-thousandth the strength of a cell phone, stimulates cellular repair by upregulating the body’s own production of endogenous nitric oxide (NO). Enhancing nitric oxide, the body’s anti-inflammatory molecule has several biotherapeutic effects depending on the target tissue and the specific characteristics of the tPEMF waveform used.
The Loop is often referred to as a NPAID (non-pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory device) and is a great tool for treating chronic pain conditions such as arthritis as well as acute injuries as it also speeds healing. When used properly, a single device will provide a minimum of 150 treatments.
Why choose 4Cyte?
It has long been known that New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels (NZGLM) are beneficial in treating arthritis. Veterinary Researchers in New Zealand have learned that it is actually a specific group of mussels growing in a small area off the coast of New Zealand that have the right combination of properties to improve the symptoms of arthritis in animals. Given the small size of this population, sustainability is a major concern, so these researchers started to look for ways to reduce the amount of NZGLM required in a supplement. They found that by adding abalone and marine cartilage, they could obtain the desired results while using less NZGLM.
They also discovered a plant extract, EPIITALIS, which comes from a cedar-like tree that grows in New Zealand. Prior to this discovery, joint supplements could only hope to manage the symptoms of arthritis. This extract has been found to have disease-MODIFYING properties, meaning that we now have a supplement that not only manages but TREATS arthritis. Epiitalis stimulates the production of new chondrocytes in inflamed joints, enabling the production/repair of cartilage, the important cushion layer of joints which is damaged and lost as arthritis develops. It also suppresses the inflammatory mediators that cause pain and impair function in these joints.
4Cyte has the potential to be a game changer in many patients with joint disease. It can be used at any age and is safe to use with prescription medications. It is even recommended for growing large and giant breed puppies to support joint health as they grow. It will help protect joints in sporting dogs. It can facilitate healing after joint surgery. It can provide pain relief and improve joint function in arthritic dogs, cats and horses.
Why choose MYOS?
Myos is a dietary supplement that supports muscle health using a unique formula of fertilized chicken egg yolks called Fortetropin®. The company’s patented process preserves the biological integrity and bio-activity of nutrients in egg yolks. When muscles are damaged (injured), myostatin levels in the body increase. Myostatin is a protein that is responsible for preventing excessive muscle growth and development, which is important in young animals but less helpful when trying to rebuild muscle after an injury and/or prolonged periods of reduced activity. These levels also tend to increase as animals age, contributing to loss of muscle tone and strength in seniors. Fortetropin is considered a natural myostatin-reducing agent, which makes it a useful tool for restoring muscle mass in injured animals and senior pets. It can also be helpful in conditioning programs for working/sporting dogs to block the inhibition of muscle growth. It is available in canine, feline, and equine formulas. Research has shown benefits in injury recovery and osteoarthritis management for dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease but there are many other uses. Research also shows that better muscle health leads to better mobility, vitality, and quality of life.

YUMMY COMBS
Why would a pet rehab clinic recommend and carry a dental chew? A majority of our patients enjoy their dental chews but these chews are typically high in calories and are mainly composed of flour. Since many of our patients also have weight issues and would benefit from weight loss, this is typically the first thing we instruct our pet parents to stop feeding them. Of course, they worry about their pets’ teeth without them. Then we found Yummy Combs. Yummy Combs is the world’s first, and only science-backed, patented, award-winning dental treat that safely removes hardened tartar. Yummy Combs, with its superior nutrition, is complete and balanced, grain-free – NON-GMO and gluten-free. These chews are an amazing 44% protein, contain 8% less starch than other chews, and have 46 ingredients in the proper proportions to support overall wellness in your dog. And that’s why our dogs love them! You can learn more on their website www.petsbestlife.com or stop in at the Centre to purchase a sample before committing to a full bag.
