1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:44,039 Speaker 1: You were listening to Petlifradio dot com. 2 00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: And welcome, Welcome on this glorious Sunday morning here in California. 3 00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:30,320 I mean interestingly I say glorious. 4 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,079 Speaker 3: Here it is July. 5 00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: We were in a drought here in southern California, and 6 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,479 as luck would have it or unluck, yesterday major thunderstorms. 7 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 3: It felt like I was in Florida. 8 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: Thunderstorms, Muggy. They're actually clearing the beaches because they were 9 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,679 so worried about lightning striking, and apparently there was an 10 00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,119 accident last year, so they are very very sensitive to 11 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:54,759 it now. And anyway, pretty exciting, pretty exciting here in 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,399 La though. Today is gorgeous, and I want to welcome 13 00:00:57,439 --> 00:00:59,159 you to Ask the Best with Doctor Jeff. I'm your 14 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,679 host the next thirty mine. It's doctor Jeff Werber. Here 15 00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,359 at Ask the Vets with Doctor Jeff, and we are 16 00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,920 here for you. We're here to answer your questions, talk 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760 about anything you want to talk about pets, and have 18 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:09,840 a good time while we're doing it. 19 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 3: And I will give you honest opinions. 20 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:14,359 Speaker 2: Because nobody owns me, which is great. We do have 21 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,760 some sponsors, pro Sense pet Products, cong veterinary products. I 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,239 know you're not going to have any problem with them, 23 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:20,480 but if you did, I want to hear about it 24 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480 anyway and anyway, a few things. 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,879 Speaker 3: To catch up with. 26 00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,719 Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, we talked about a patient 27 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:30,439 of mine that was a fifteen year old Border Collie. Now, 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,920 there are many veterinarians, myself included, that are willing to 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,680 jump into surgery major surgery on a fifteen year old 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,840 dog period, let alone a fairly large one. It's one 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,319 of those things where I always say that age is 32 00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:43,519 not a disease. Age is something that we have to 33 00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:45,439 work with. Age is something that we have to consider 34 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,200 when developing our game plan, but age itself is not 35 00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:50,519 a disease. It's like you're not going to say to grandma, 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,840 who's ninety two, who fell and broke her him, who 37 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:54,840 is an otherwise perfect health or blood you're fine, her 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,359 heart's fine. You're not going to say, tea Grandma, sorry, 39 00:01:57,519 --> 00:01:59,439 we're not fixing your hip because you're ninety two. 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,079 Speaker 3: Everything else is okay, you gotta go for it. So 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,000 we had this long discussion with the client. 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: The same basic discussion is that yes he's fifteen, Yes 43 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,960 he's old, but we did a blood test perfect. We 44 00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:14,080 checked his heart, lungs, everything is perfect. He's had no 45 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,479 evidence ultra sound, no evidence of cancer anywhere else except 46 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,000 in the jaw. 47 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:19,039 Speaker 3: We got to do it. 48 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,159 Speaker 2: So we did what's called a mandibulctomy, which took on 49 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,560 his pretty much his entire right side of his jaw out. 50 00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: We cut just in front. 51 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:33,439 Speaker 2: Of the lower bowlers and it's a pretty tough healing 52 00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,639 for this old guy. But I gotta tell you, the 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,919 owners called this past week said he is doing amazingly well. 54 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,319 He's back to his old self. Like I told the owners, 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,000 I can't tell you whether I'm going to give you 56 00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,520 an extra year, I mean whatever. The hope was that 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,960 whatever his natural life would take him, that's where we're 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560 going to go. And that's great because he's doing really 59 00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,280 well anyway, So that's some good news. Those are the 60 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,039 greatest cases where you, your hands actually played a part 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,240 and a pets recovery and a pets best quality of 62 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,080 life possible. 63 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of times, don't. We're not lucky. 64 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: We know, we know in this case we saved a 65 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,159 life because without that surgery, this cancer would have overtaken 66 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,840 him in no time. It was so disgusting. It was 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,280 eating up his mouth, his entire half, that half of 68 00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:20,240 his mandible which is lower jaw, and he wouldn't have 69 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,719 had a chance. He would have been weeks. They would 70 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:24,199 have put him to sleep, and now he's done great. 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: So that's that's super cool. 72 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,599 Speaker 2: So I hope you are in the rest of this 73 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,520 country enjoying the hot weather. And as you know, we 74 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,719 have spoken about many many hot weather tips, and one 75 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:39,039 of the points I often make in when discussing exercising 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,919 exercise during this time of year is to be very 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,719 careful even in the evening when the sun is down, 78 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,439 that when you are exercising, you're walking, you're running with 79 00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:50,319 your pets, with your dogs, especially that you still need 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,639 to exercise caution because pavement retains heat. Pavement is very 81 00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:58,240 hot and it holds that heat for a while. And 82 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:00,879 unless you're going to always be walking your dog on grass, 83 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,039 but even gravel, not only is it hurt, but it 84 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,599 retains heat. Sand I mean, go to the beach during 85 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:08,360 the heat of the day and see if you can 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,520 make it from where you're sitting to the ocean without 87 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:13,639 running very fast because sand gets very hot. So as 88 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,240 we know, it's a problem, and you know, I'm the 89 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,279 kind of guy that's always looking for solutions. While I 90 00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:21,399 was at the Global Pet Expo last year in March 91 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,560 in Orlando, and I was, you know, I'm always kind 92 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 of cruising the booth just to see what's out there 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,600 that's kind of new and exciting things that we could 94 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,639 talk about here on the show. And I entered a booth. 95 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,439 I saw a booth that have something that kind of 96 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,079 intrigued me. And they're called Passavers. And I've been talking 97 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,240 to the owner of Passavers, Lenny Sherman. 98 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,079 Speaker 3: And Lenny is with us today. 99 00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: Here live on air, So if you have any questions, 100 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,759 get ready to ask them. 101 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: But Lenny, welcome, Hello. 102 00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 4: Doctor Weber. Thank you for having me today. It's a 103 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,279 pleasure to be here. 104 00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:54,639 Speaker 2: And so anyway, you know, when I was in your booth, 105 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,079 we were talking about the Passavers, who were you know, 106 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,959 doing your demonstrations. I tell you I thought they were 107 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:00,800 a great idea. How did this all start? 108 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: Well, I had similar problems. You know, I live in 109 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720 New York, and you know, also we have really hot 110 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,959 summers here, but we also have you know, really cold winters, 111 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,079 and my dog wasn't able to walk outside in all 112 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,360 the seasons. He was having trouble all the time. So 113 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:18,920 I found the need for this product because booties weren't working. 114 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920 So what I did was I invented this product called 115 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,199 paw Savers, and it's a disposable foam pad and it 116 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,720 adhaps to the bottom of the dog's paw. They come 117 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,079 in multiple sizes to fit old dogs and it's a 118 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920 very easy application. You apply them for the walk and 119 00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,360 they're great in all conditions, whether like you say, in 120 00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:37,879 the heat, or in the snow, or in the rain 121 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,360 and the mud. There's a glass outside and he has 122 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,079 it as materials or just in general keeping the dogs 123 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,560 paw clean during the walk. 124 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: And how would they tolerate it? Pretty much by the dogs. 125 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 4: Well, you put them on. It's an adhesive, and the 126 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,399 adhesive is a hyperlogenic and non toxic adhesive, so it's 127 00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:56,160 safe for the animal. And once you apply it, it 128 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,839 contours to the entire paw pad. So once the dog 129 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800 just plaug down, they don't feel it. It's like a 130 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,839 natural feeling. They don't do that awkward kick like they're 131 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:08,759 wearing booties or anything else, and they just walk. 132 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,399 Speaker 2: What's interesting is that you just meant something very funny 133 00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,279 about the awkward kick. You know, when I wrap the 134 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,199 dog's foot for some reason, they do that shakee They 135 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,800 just want to get It's like they don't want to 136 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,680 wear socks. They don't you wear socks, so you know, 137 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:22,399 kind of what a booty is is that concept that 138 00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,240 they sit there and try to get off. And you know, 139 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,399 I was watching the demos, I was watching the dogs. 140 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,600 You had some dogs that you were putting through like 141 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,920 an agility exercises, you know, climbing things up and walking 142 00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,600 along things, and they seem to be totally unfazed by 143 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,040 the fact that they wearing these pads. 144 00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,759 Speaker 4: It's simply, you know, a distraction for the dog that's 145 00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,800 putting them on and taking them for the walk. The 146 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,279 pluppads it'd here and they become one with the pulpad, 147 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,360 so they don't feel them, and they actually enjoyed them 148 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,279 because it provides also a cushion to sixteenth of an 149 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,600 inch foam path, so it provides a nice cushion for 150 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,680 the joints while they're walking as well, and they just 151 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,959 simply don't know they're there. They don't cover the top 152 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,399 of the pod, they don't go nail, so their nails 153 00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:04,680 are exposed, and they're just protecting the pawpad, the most 154 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,759 important sensitive part. And you know typically you know would 155 00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,680 pull or they just don't. They don't know it's on basically. 156 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,399 Speaker 2: Now, you know, it's just you know, some dogs have 157 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,319 grow a lot of hair inside in between the toes 158 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,120 of you. If you ever anybody, especially long hair dogs 159 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,839 or fuzzy dogs, if you turn their feet upside down 160 00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:24,839 and you look in between the pawpads, there's a lot 161 00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:27,759 of hair there, Lenny, are there any indications to maybe 162 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160 maybe have that hair trimmed if you have such a dog. 163 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,240 Will it affect the ability of the pawsaver to stick 164 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:33,720 on the pad. 165 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: That's a good point, well, when you know, typically the 166 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,759 first instruction of paul savers is applying it to a 167 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:42,399 dry paw pad, typically the same way you would use 168 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:45,920 a band aid. So if there is hair that passes 169 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,240 the paw pad, you would want to give a light 170 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,160 trim so it wouldn't affect the adhesive part of it. 171 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,959 It would definitely adheve to it, but you know, removing 172 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,879 it would get you know, slightly discomfortable. So I would 173 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:01,160 strongly recommend if a dog has long hairs between the 174 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:04,199 paw pats to give them a trend prior to putting 175 00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:05,920 them on, and you only have to do with you know, ever, 176 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240 so like two months or month, however, you see the 177 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,360 dog's hair growing back. 178 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: Now, you know you mentioned that. So let's say you 179 00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:14,560 put it on. It's hot outside. The sun's gone down, 180 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160 so if you feel safer about the heat issue, but 181 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,439 you know, the payment to the sidewalk is still pretty hot, 182 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,319 so that you put on the paw saver. So when 183 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,120 you come back from your walk, is it something you 184 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,920 want to have them removed right away? And if so, 185 00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:28,160 can you use that same pawsaver the next morning or 186 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:28,800 the next evening. 187 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,159 Speaker 4: Well, the beauty of plus savers is there's different ways 188 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,559 of using it. There's ways of using it. For example, 189 00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,919 you know, our three pillars are clean, safe and comfortable. 190 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,279 So in terms of people who don't want to tract 191 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,879 dirt in the house or anything from outdoors, I would recommend, 192 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,840 after you know, a thirty minute walk, I would recommend 193 00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,440 to remove the paw saver. They simply just peel off 194 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,399 and you could put it right back on the paper 195 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,440 that it comes with and you can reuse it at 196 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,759 one time or two times, you know, as many times 197 00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:58,039 as you can get use out of it, depending on 198 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,759 you know, the weight of the dog, the size of 199 00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:02,960 the door, the length of your walk, the terrain that 200 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:06,720 you travel on, and you basically you know, take it off. 201 00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:09,200 Other people may want to just keep it on all day, 202 00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,240 so you go for your walk, you come home, put 203 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,320 on in the morning, come home from your walk. I 204 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720 would strongly recommend to see how your dog reacts to 205 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,120 it in the house, because you know, every dog has 206 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,279 a different personality, and some dogs may want to take 207 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,600 it off when they're home because they're in their home environment. 208 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:25,919 They don't want they lay down, and they may lick 209 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240 their pause. Well, as we mentioned earlier that you know, 210 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,120 they are hypolygynic and non toxic, so they are safe. 211 00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,840 If the dog licks his pause during it or peels 212 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,600 it off, you know, nothing harmful will happen to your dog. 213 00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:41,320 But I've had many instances where you know, people say, well, 214 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,480 I leave it on because my dog, you know, slips 215 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,240 on my hardware floor. So it's also beneficial to keep 216 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,279 it on and use it indoors as well, and then 217 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,799 you can hold back out and for your second walk, 218 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:54,120 come back in, use it for your third walk, and 219 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,480 if you still want to maintain the cleanliness in your house, 220 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,360 keeping it on, you may do so. But it just 221 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,279 makes it that much easier to wipe adult's pause with 222 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,480 a nice surface of pau savers rather than you know, 223 00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:06,919 when the dog walks, you know, whether they go to 224 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,759 the bathroom or whether it's in sands or dirt or gravel, 225 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:11,960 they pick up a lot of residue, a lot of 226 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,519 debris in their paws and it gets stuck in there 227 00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:16,200 and you have to clean it out, you know, because 228 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,240 it's not going to you know, then they're going to 229 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,000 clean it themselves. 230 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: Right, all right, So we have to take a quick 231 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,679 break here.

And I'm 300 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,840 gonna hold this out for those of you that are 301 00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:13,279 joining us on Skype right now. So this is what 302 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480 the sheet looks like. If you can see, there are 303 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:17,519 four pads right here. This is for a large dog. 304 00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,879 And simply they just peel right off almost like any 305 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,000 kind of adhesive backing like that bandage, and they peel 306 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,159 off like so. And if you can see, it's sticky. 307 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000 And the beauty is that after a use you can 308 00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:32,799 always put it back onto the paper and we use 309 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,919 it again as many times as the adhesive will stick 310 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,679 to your dog's pad. Now, you know, clearly one of 311 00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,039 the indications of the paw savers or any kind of 312 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,679 paul protector is going to be from the heat. But 313 00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:47,559 what I like about these, and I was so intrigued, 314 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,360 they're very unobtrusive. They don't have this heavy feeling on 315 00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:53,320 the dog's foot. They're not trying to shake it off. 316 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,320 They tolerate them because it's like putting on a band aid. 317 00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,919 It's there, but it doesn't affect you at all. It's 318 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,320 like a sticky head on the bottom of the pad, 319 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,159 and it provides a little cushion, so it's actually a 320 00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:06,279 little bit on the comfortable side for them. But what 321 00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,480 I notice is they do have a bit of a 322 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,000 traction feature, which is great because many of our dogs, 323 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,799 my old labrador included, as they start to weaken in 324 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,679 their back ends oftentimes, and I'm sure you've seen this 325 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,559 with your old dogs, their feet start to splay out, 326 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:27,559 and especially on smooth surfaces, whether it's linoleum, tile, hardwood floors, 327 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360 unless you have carpeting all over the house. I don't 328 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:33,879 know about you, but I prefer hardwood floors and area rugs. 329 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,480 I think floors are really good. Wood is beautiful, but 330 00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:39,919 it's rather slippery for the dogs. So I had a 331 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,000 dog in yesterday, a fourteen year old German shepherd now 332 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,559 yesterday on Friday, a fourteen year old German shepherd dog, 333 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,159 and he had classic degenderate of myelopathy. And anyone who's 334 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,320 had an old shepherd knows what DM or dejender mylopathy 335 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,759 is all about. And the biggest problem is, as he 336 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,360 is progressively weakening along the back, he is becoming more 337 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,879 unsure of himself because of his poor footing, because as 338 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:06,720 soon as he steps in anything smooth, he slips right out. 339 00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:09,080 So what happens in a dog like that? They start 340 00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,600 thinking that, oh, I can't walk anymore. But if you 341 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:16,120 got him on grass right or on pavement, they do 342 00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:18,679 pretty well. So I realized, oh my god, this is 343 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,720 a perfect indication to send home some of these Savers 344 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,879 past Savers pads, which we sent home, and I have 345 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,600 not heard back from the owner yet, but I will 346 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,519 certainly follow up. But I think that that is another 347 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,399 really great indication for its use. So it has some 348 00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:38,399 therapeutic benefits, it has extreme protective benefits, and so letting 349 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:40,159 you guys have been on the market now for how long. 350 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 4: Well, for about you know, we've done twelve months of 351 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,279 product development and testing before we came to market and 352 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,720 after the Global Products boat.

So far, 385 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,960 you know, good results. I'm very curious to see how 386 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,160 the shepherd with the detender of myelopathy does as well. 387 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: What now, I you know, I know a lot of. 388 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,039 Speaker 2: People out there listening have, or at least think they 389 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,480 have great ideas when it comes to solving problems for 390 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,759 their pets, and it's not so easy. I remember when 391 00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:38,920 I had a product line out a number of years ago, 392 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,880 started to go to these pet exposes and trade shows 393 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,759 and they're huge and there are so many things out there. 394 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,440 How difficult was it for you to sort of break 395 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,119 into something that's relatively new, a bit innovative, because there 396 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,079 are a lot there are quite a few booty companies 397 00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:58,480 out there and come up with a way to solve 398 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,400 a problem, and yet can that just be uh, here's 399 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,359 another one kind of kind of thing, kind of product right. 400 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,839 Speaker 4: Well, you know it all came from, like I said, 401 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,519 you know, one thing to help my dog because I 402 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,039 loved them so much. I need and I needed a solution, 403 00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:15,559 and the booties just wasn't a solution. You know, you 404 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,799 could buy a set for like fifteen, twenty thirty forty dollars. 405 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,240 They ranged in different prices, different models. Like you said, 406 00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:23,079 there's a lot of them out there, but the dogs 407 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,160 like to kick them off because they don't feel natural. 408 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,519 So I just, you know, I was thinking. I kept thinking, 409 00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:29,359 and all of a sudden it came to me some 410 00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:31,920 type of a sticker. And then I kept looking into it. 411 00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:35,240 And you know, my background is in the manufacturing business, 412 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:37,960 so I kept cranking my gears until I finally came 413 00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:40,519 up with this solution. I had it made and you know, 414 00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:43,079 I tested it myself. It was so many hours of 415 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,400 work and time dedicated into this from finding all these 416 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,359 different sized dogs and testing it and I literally myself 417 00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:54,160 measured all their paws and found because obviously every dog 418 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,640 has a different sized pull pad. So we found and 419 00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:00,480 created seven sizes to fit ninety nine percent range of dogs, 420 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,880 which was it wasn't easy, but you know, when you 421 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,119 care about something, you know you get it done. And 422 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,000 I found that going to the Global Pet Expo, you know, 423 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,680 investing my time and my money was worth it because 424 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,839 we could help so many animals out there. That is 425 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,200 no good solution I feel right now with protecting their polls, 426 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,319 especially in a safe and comfortable way Booty. Like I 427 00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,759 said before, yes they could be good in the winter, 428 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:24,559 but what about the summertime? What about places where there 429 00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,759 is no winter? You know, there's you know a lot 430 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,200 of different countries came to the Global Pet Extoll, almost 431 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,599 South America, Mexico, I mean, even California. Now they're making 432 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,960 announcements on the news and so forth that you know, 433 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:39,359 walk your dog before eight am or seven am, and 434 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,039 don't and don't walk it until after seven pm because 435 00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:44,880 the concrete of pavement is burning. You know, if you 436 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,359 put your hand down on the floor on the concrete 437 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,480 and you can't hold it there for five seconds, then 438 00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,640 it's way too hot for your dog to walk outside. 439 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:53,680 That's a such what they're saying. 440 00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:56,559 Speaker 2: Right right, So it's not an easy task anybody who's 441 00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:59,720 out there when you want to bring a product to market. 442 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,519 The pet industry, as we all know, is huge. It's 443 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:05,799 a multi billion dollar industry. But it does take a 444 00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,400 lot of work, a lot of conviction, a lot of perseverance, 445 00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:10,720 and I'm sure Lenny a lot of money to get 446 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,440 a new product out there. You know, it's got to 447 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,440 be tested, it's got to be right. 448 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: You know. 449 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,839 Speaker 2: The worst thing you do is bring a product to 450 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,920 market too soon or without the testing, because that is 451 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,759 it's going to go straight to failure. So you have 452 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,599 to make sure you have something and also make sure 453 00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:27,200 that there's a need out there. Make sure that if 454 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,640 you're thinking about something that you want to solve for 455 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,200 your pet, make sure it's not only your pet, because 456 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,039 you're not going to want to sell just one. The 457 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,519 whole idea is to solve a problem, meet a need 458 00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:39,920 that almost every pet out there could use. And I 459 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,640 think this is really it's a terrific idea, and it's innovative, 460 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,319 it's different. I think it's the only type of adhesive 461 00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:47,240 that I saw of its kind. Like you said, there 462 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,599 are a number of booty companies out there, but I 463 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,440 was very impressed and that's why I had you on. 464 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,119 I thought it was a great idea. I'm going to 465 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:57,480 be putting them on my old lab so he can 466 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,960 walk through the house without slipping all over the hardward. 467 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:02,240 I will get back to Lenny and let you know 468 00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:05,440 just how this old shepherd is doing. I'm sure you'll 469 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,240 be interested to know so you can use it in 470 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,640 your marketing as well, because the genner mylopathy is a 471 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,359 big problem in some of these old shepherds, and some 472 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,920 other breeds can have it as well, but notoriously it's 473 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,640 German shepherd dogs. So anyway, I want to thank you 474 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,240 for being here. Where could people find pas savers? 475 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,559 Speaker 4: Oh, thank you for asking? Right now?
