The weens and I are getting ready to watch Merv on Prime Video. I heard it is fantastic and I was told that Merv is diagnosed with separation anxiety. In the background of the exam room was an Assisi canine commercial that addresses exactly that.

The Assisi Loop protocol is two 15-minute treatments 8 hours apart for 4 to 6 weeks. It can have an almost instant calming effect in many dogs within three to five minutes. In a study at NC State, 65% of dogs with separation anxiety were resolved and the other 35% were able to reduce their medications. Many participants reported a positive effect within the first week.

That doctor should have grabbed the Loop off the shelf. I will give some feedback after we watch it. Remember it is winter and pets can be stiffer and more sore. The Assisi loop products including the Loop and the Loop Lounge can help manage soreness and inflammation. Clark W. Griswold has the Assisi Loop around his back for a previous back problem and Capone is on the Loop Lounge under his bed so he gets continuous exposure.

The best part is owners can do this at home. That helps you as a veterinarian send the healing home. Visit Assisi Animal Health dot com to learn more. Guys are you ready to watch the movie? We have to go.
