Pet grooming is far more than just sending your dog for a spa day, although we often refer to it like that. Your dog will look better, yes, but it's also a way to keep him healthy and hygienic. Regularly grooming your dog allows you to catch any underlying diseases or conditions early. Some washing is needed to ensure that your pet remains clean and germ free. They also trim their nails, brush off excess fur, and get a good look at their eyes and ears. The problem arises for dogs who wear a knee (stifle) brace or other kind of brace. Can they still be groomed? Should you remove the brace? Here at Bionic Pets, pet owners often ask...
Here at Bionic Pets, our goal is always to help each animal regain their health, happiness, and mobility.

As with people, the best way to treat an injury in dogs is to be proactive and make sure it doesn't happen in the first place! This is why we stretch before going on a run, avoid stepping in a big hole, and drink plenty of fluids afterwards. While your dog shouldn't be drinking gatorade after a particularly rumpus playtime at the dog park, there are plenty of things you can and should be doing in order to be proactive against an injury. A healthy dog can still hurt their leg. In fact, sprains, minor tears, and other leg injuries are some of the most common injuries among our canine friends. This is why we want to take the time...
