In August 2007 myBorder Collie Luna aged 5 yrs (Lunarlite My Fire) damaged her shoulder whilst competing in an agility competition. Luna jumped a jump and caught the wing, as the next obstacle required a pull through and the wing landed on her shoulder. Luna continued to work and finish the round but once we left the ring it became apparent that she had injured herself.

I did the usual, total rest for a 2-week period and she didn’t improve, I was worried that she could have a broken bone so Luna was x rayed and everything looked normal. Luna was then put on anti-inflammatory pain relief. She wasn’t lame anymore but the problem returned with exercise. We tried several types of pain relief. In November I decided to take her off the anti-inflammatory pain relief, as the situation wasn’t improving I tried other natural remedies and increased her exercise gradually with lead walks. This helped but there was still slight lameness and she couldn’t go running off lead with the other dogs.

After reading about the Back on Track pain relief garments, I gave Luna a gradual three-day build-up wearing a Back on Track dog rug, after which she was ready to sleep in it overnight. The results were amazing. After one month’s use, Luna’s slight lameness had gone, and she was now enjoying off-lead walks and running with the other dogs … something I never thought she would do again. Luna’s agility training has resumed, and I am building her up gradually. At the moment, she is only jumping small heights but I am hopeful of competing with her again in the future.

I was so impressed with Luna’s recovery I decided to try Back on Track myself, as I sometimes suffer from knee pain after and during weekend agility shows. The joint feels twisted after wearing football boots whilst running the dogs, so I thought I would try the Back on Track horse back pad (which I use as a mattress for Luna), and slept with it wrapped around my knees. Again it was amazing, as the pain had gone after only one night’s wear.

After experiencing the benefits for myself, I now understand why Luna is happy to wear her rug and why she has improved so much, so quickly.

The Back on Track dog rug has given
Luna her life back.

These products are brilliant, and the results that myself and my dog have experienced have been incredible.

“Agility is a physically demanding canine sport and knowledge is growing each day as to how we should take care of our dogs in the best possible way. I am responsible for my dogs’ wellbeing so that they have the best chance of performing as well as possible in competition. If I am thorough in the way I look after my dogs’ physique then we can avoid injuries for a large part. A huge part of avoiding injury is making sure that my dogs are well warmed up prior to workouts and contests – and this is where Back on Track’s products have been outstanding! Agility is all about high velocity and quick, twisty movements which place great strain on both joints and muscles. A warmed up, flexible muscle has significantly better prerequisites under such conditions than a cold and stiff muscle.

I have used other rugs on my dogs for several years, but it was when I started using the Back on Track dog rugs that I noticed the difference. My older dog Lotus has a hip joint problem. He is very sensitive to the cold and becomes stiff easily so Back on Track has been a great help. For example, I have compared various different dog rugs when he has been lying in the car. After using the Back on Track dog rug there is no stiffness whatsoever when he gets out of the car. Other rugs haven’t worked as well as Back on Track to retain heat and prevent stiff hips. I have also noticed an appreciable difference when I compete during the winter months and use Back on Track
compared to the usual dog rugs available. Stiffness that may appear after a rest period completely disappears after diligent use of Back on Track.

But it isn’t just injuries that need to be prevented. Of course I want my dogs to excel as much as possible in each race so that we come tops in contests. In agility every millisecond is all-important and that is why I want my dogs to be in top form so that we play our cards right.

”I am very pleased with Back on Track’s greyhound dog rug.” “We have used Back on Track’s greyhound dog rug for a while, mainly for our male dog.

I was surprised to discover that one may also use the rug indoors for dogs with a summer fleece. The dogs don’t get so wheezy and warm and they sleep like logs!

The dog rug has an excellent fit and is without a doubt the best dog rug we have had for our dogs. I have used the blanket during rehabilitation periods, for recovery and during transportation as a protection against drafts. They make the dogs relaxed and warm.

Since we started using the rug one dog’s performance remained unchanged, whilst the other dog started yielding much better results.

One dog used to have a stiff back during the whole competition season, but now that dog is doing significantly better – even our canine physiotherapist says so. That dog has now beaten the racing record for over 680 m on Hyvinge track in September 2007. The record before that hadn’t been changed for several years.

I am very pleased with Back on Track’s greyhound dog rug. I plan to buy several and recommend them to others too. I hope that others will also benefit from them as me and my dogs have.”
