Oscar and Diane

“Annie, I don’t know if your remember me, but I bought a pair of Biko PR bands from you through my dog’s physical therapist, Ria Acciani, in early 2014. Oscar my Swedish Vallhund had ruptured a cervical disk in late 2013 and was totally paralyzed from neck down. Emergency surgery saved his life but learning to walk again was nothing short of a herculean task. Oscar had been a top show dog in his breed before his accident. After he began to walk again, a neurologist told me that she didn’t think he’d walk normally again. Well, she was wrong. We performed intensive physical therapy with Oscar (still do to this day) and one year later, in February of this year, he WON HIS breed at Westminster. We still use the bands to this day as part of his PT regimen to keep him in shape. I really believe they made a HUGE difference in Oscar getting his normal hind gait back again. And so, I want to thank you for an awesome product. Biko Bands truly help Oscar to regain his championship form. If you are interested, I’ll send you links to the Westminster Kennel club dog show where you can see Oscar strut his stuff.”

Lesley, Tonka and Cowboy:

“We have two senior dogs with hind end mobility issues. A 14 1/2-year-old Husky/Lab with degeneration and stenosis in the lumbar spine and a 17-year-old Border Collie with arthritis in his hips. Both were experiencing altered gaits and muscle atrophy. I’m a personal trainer and was trying to figure out a way to use resistance bands to strengthen and build muscle in their hind ends. I happened to learn about the Biko bands and contacted Annie that same day. She determined both boys were good candidates for the bands. Their results have been impressive! The first time we used them I noticed improved gait and confidence in their ability to walk and move with more control over their legs. They have both continued to gain strength and they are moving a lot more rather than lying around. Both boys have improved gaits and the Border Collie can once again go up and down stairs…something he’s been unable to do for a long time. I highly recommend the Biko bands but I only wish I’d found out about them much sooner!”

Catherine Markijohn, DVM and Olivia

“The Bands weren’t necessarily indicated for Olivia’s condition, but it seemed like it was going to be exactly what we needed to do to keep her feet placed properly. Olivia still requires the Biko Bands to be able to place her feet properly and always will because there is permanent neurologic damage. With the Biko Bands she is able to walk much more comfortably and has built up such an incredible amount of muscle back there and even though she doesn’t have the neurological input she’s getting the physical input and building up these muscles has allowed her to hold up her tail and her back in a more normal position. She wags her tail now whereas before it was usually down because she had minimal function then. We are just so happy with how she has been doing.”
