  • What Is a Canine Athlete? Chris Zink, DVM, Phd, DACVP, DACVSMR, CCRT, CVSMT, CVA, and Brittany Jean Carr, DVM, CCRT
    1 What Is a Canine Athlete? Chris Zink, DVM, PhD, DACVP, DACVSMR, CCRT, CVSMT, CVA, and Brittany Jean Carr, DVM, CCRT Summary Canine sports medicine and rehabilitation is one of the newest specialties in veterinary medicine. It encompasses and integrates a variety of fields, including orthopedics, exer- cise physiology, neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, nutrition, and others. Rehabilitation, which includes regaining and maintaining fitness as well as conditioning targeted toward prevention of future injury, is a critical partner to canine sports medicine. Canine athletes include dogs that compete in performance events as varied as agility trials, obedience trials, and disc dog competitions, as well as working dogs such as police/military dogs, search and rescue dogs, and assistance dogs for the disabled. Principles of canine sports medicine and rehabilitation apply to all active dogs, regardless of whether they train or compete; this comprises a large proportion of the canine population. Canine sports medicine and rehabilitation professionals play a pivotal role in helping canine athletes and working dogs recover after injury or illness. They work to prevent re‐injury while moving the patient back to a state of muscular ability, endurance, coordination, balance, and flexibility that optimizes their physical abilities. Understanding the physical activities that are involved in different performance events and the jobs that working dogs perform is critical to devising targeted rehabilitation for sports/working dogs after injury or illness, and for retraining them to perform their specific duties. This is best accomplished by attending athletic/workingCOPYRIGHTED dog training sessions and MATERIAL competitions. Introduction to canine sports medicine dogs have assisted in hunting food, guarding family and property, gathering and moving live­ Humans and dogs have been partners for at least stock, patrolling with soldiers, detecting drugs 33,000 years (Galibert et al., 2011; Ovodov et al., and explosives, and searching for lost humans.

Please, make sure your kennel cough vaccine is up to date before you come to the facility! The nasal vaccine can give faster protection, but only for 6 months at- a-time. Enjoy this month's edition, Claudia This month's story (at the end of this email): "A dog’s job – fulfilling life!” Thinking of any resolutions for 2009 about your dog’s behavior? In need for that last-minute Christmas gift? Call or email us, we can help!!! Mushing and Skijor seminars now scheduled!
