Your dog’s harness matters more than you think!
🤔 Imagine putting on a pair of tight, poor fitting shoes and walking 5000 steps everyday - that’s the impact a harness can have on your dog as well!
🐕 Case study: Ollie came to us with some left front limb limping. Our NIMBLE™ assessment revealed left elbow pain, and one culprit was the harness that he has had since young. It restricted shoulder movement, resulting in uneven loading in his elbow joint and pain. After fitting him with a more suitable harness and some physio sessions, Ollie is back to his 3km walks pain-free! Now he continues rehab to strengthen his shoulder muscles and improve his trunk stability 💪🏻
💁🏻♀️ NIMBLE Tip: Much like buying shoes, try on the harness and get your dog to walk around a bit before purchasing. A good-fitting harness goes a long long way.
Still not convinced? Or not sure if your dog’s harness fits well? Feel free to drop us a DM. We are happy to help always! 🐾
