“PulseVet has the science behind it that I was looking for. I have worked with several clinicians throughout my training who have used PulseVet over the years and seen the results with my own eyes. So it was very obvious to me that it was what I needed for my practice.”

“PulseVet has been with us for, what is it, 20 years now, and we trust the company. The research that we’ve seen has all been done with the PulseVet equipment. Love the new X Trode that allows our rehab clients, who often don’t want to do much sedation, to be able to treat the patients without adding any drugs.”
— Janet Van Dyke, DVM

“We use PulseVet because the electrohydraulic technology has basically become the background to what we’re doing. Whether we’re looking on the human side, the small animal side, or the equine side, the electrohydraulic and the PulseVet equipment are the state-of-the-art equipment that we’re utilizing.”

“We were having to perform the PiezoWave shockwave treatments weekly to maintain pain management while we can perform two PulseVet treatments to improve patient outcomes for 3-6 months!”

“I feel like there’s more precision with the PulseVet product. I trust the research and the backing behind it. We’re currently working on a research project looking at the effect of Shockwave for barrel racing horses with IPH. One horse in particular, a really nice and expensive horse that they were about to give up on because they couldn’t get it to stop bleeding, has had a complete turnaround. That horse is back competing and winning rodeos.”
—Beau Whitaker DVM

“Pulsevet shock wave is my top choice for use in my sport horse practice based in Wellington, Florida. It has been proven to accelerate tissue healing & shorten recovery time. An added bonus-it’s made in the USA! Pulsevet is a proud supporter of our United States Equestrian Teams. It is a great addition to my practice.”

“I probably use PulseVet several times a week several times a week on most of our sport horses that have been diagnosed with hind limb proximal suspensory desmopathy… In my hands it has been highly efficacious in both pain modulation and aiding in the manifestation of healing of those proximal suspensory injuries. Most of those horses do very well in response to that therapy.”

“I strive to provide a stress-free visit to all my patients, and originally, I was very interested in this modality, but had reservations on the sound, and how patients would react to it. However, since adopting the PulseVet, I have found that it is very well tolerated. I have been very pleased with the PulseVet.”

“A dog owner visited our center as a last hope with her German shepherd, with severe hyperflexion of the carpus and metatarsal area, due to a flexor tendon injury. The owner was very grateful we thought outside the box and were willing to help. He is currently almost normal and doing exercises to get back to a normal life.”

“Unlike the other devices that are collecting dust in a storage room, PulseVet is being used daily due to our doctors and staff seeing great patient outcomes in both Equine and Small Animal patients.”

“PulseVet is the most profitable tool that I use…it is so well utilized in the equine industry that is almost rare for an equine veterinarian to not know about it. I use it on my patients all the time. I do way more total body shockwave than anyone else.”
—Pam Nichols, DVM, CCRP CFI
Director, Zomedica Board of Directors
“I initially was interested in PulseVet shock wave technology because of the reported benefits in bone fracture healing and TPLO osteotomy healing. I had also checked with a friend, who is an orthopedic surgeon, and he is a fan of the therapy. I was able to compare TPLO healing time on 2 patients who had one knee repaired before I brought in PulseVet, and one knee repaired after using PulseVet therapy and both returned to function significantly sooner when using PulseVet. They also had shorter osteotomy healing time compared to the first leg. I have been using Laser therapy for several years and it does still have its place for superficial and acute cases, but when dealing with chronic pain/injuries/wounds and bone healing I find myself reaching for the PulseVet more frequently.
I have also used PulseVet on some stifle joint injuries that were not surgical candidates, for various reasons, and have seen significant improvement in those patients as well. My own English Bulldog has severe degenerative joint disease in both elbows and have used PulseVet on him and have seen improvement in his discomfort compared to any other alternative therapy.”

“It takes just a couple minutes at a time, is non-invasive and best of all is not another pharmaceutical to put in their system.”

“The addition of PulseVet X-trode shockwave to mOcean mobility + wellness for animals has been a game changer! This is my first line modality for elbow osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries, especially those stubborn iliopsoas and supraspinatus tendinopathies. I love that PulseVet is backed by research and does not require sedation. Our clients love that treatment is only every two weeks and pets are typically feeling much better just after the first treatment. ”

“The shockwave machine has helped many dogs avoid CCL surgery and heal faster after fractures. It’s also become a standard protocol for our arthritic patients to help improve their quality of life and decrease pain. It’s been a huge successful with our patients and another tool for our rehab team! “

“As a surgery only clinic, we prioritize staying on the cutting edge of the technology
available to us. When we heard about Shockwave therapy, we had to have it. We now use it
on every ortho surgery and include it in our flat rate pricing. It speeds up the overall
healing process. I hesitated to write this review as this is an amazing product that helps
stay ahead of our peers.“

“Since adding PulseVet 6 months ago, we have uncovered many novel uses for shockwave, beyond the traditional musculoskeletal indications. Working with Zomedica’s sales, marketing, and professional services veterinary departments, we have uncovered the truly outstanding benefits for profound results with soft tissue and wound healing treatments. In only one or two 2- minute treatments, we have been able to completely heal lick granulomas, degloving wounds, non-healing open wounds and recently, a rodent ulcer in a feline patient, the first total true healing of such a wound ever, in my experience. Since adding PulseVet to our practice, it has become our main modality in our arsenal of integrative and traditional approaches to cure, heal and relieve pain in our patients. We look forward to continuing our true partnership with Zomedica and with their support and the nothing less than our clients’ being delighted with the efficacy, comfort and speed in which their pets are healed, we are in the process of purchasing a second PulseVet unit and hope to become the recognized center for shockwave therapy on Long Island. “

“I find that my postoperative knee patients bear weight a bit quicker when they receive shockwave at the time of surgery. Occasionally we get postoperative complications such as patellar tendinopathy, iliopsoas muscle strains, and even fractures of the tibial tuberosity. Shockwave therapy is extremely helpful in all of these cases. Treatment used to consist of just rest and more NSAIDs, but now we have an active, therapeutic way to treat these issues.
It took a while for the staff to get used to the “new” therapy, but everyone got trained easily and became comfortable performing the treatments quickly. I prescribe the area of treatment and dose, and they take care of the rest. I also treat shoulder tendinopathies and lumbosacral pain with the PulseVet. It has expanded my practice and provides alternatives to surgery in some cases. The machine more than pays for itself each month.”

“We’re very happy and are amazed at how much we use the PulseVet device! I’ve been treating several shoulder cases for bicipital/supraspinatus tendinopathy, Dr. Keats has an arthrodesis case he’s treating to help bone healing, Dino may never heal but it is what it is (owners bought an orthosis), Dr. Keats treated a cat with metacarpal fracture too, we keep finding more cases for it!”

“PulseVet Shockwave has been a great addition to my rehab-focused practice. It has proven to be highly effective for both acute and chronic presentations. It is well tolerated by my patients and the results have been amazing!“

“As an ambulatory practice, upgrading from the Versatron to the PulseVet shockwave has allowed us to provide more timely and frequent shockwave treatments for our patients due to the smaller size of the system. The ability to have it on our trucks in the field at all times alleviates the need for a future appointment to initiate treatment. This has resulted in more rapid patient improvement and better treatment outcomes, as well as less cluttered appointment schedules. We could not be happier with our choice to upgrade.”
—Greggory S. Bell, DVM

“Numerous patients have gone from daily NSAID use and weekly PSGAG injections to no medications at all using PulseVet therapy. In our equine practice, we have used the device on patients with fibrotic myopathy, tendon injuries and chronic wounds, all with tremendous results.”

“The equine sports medicine veterinarian is faced with daily challenges when choosing treatments/therapies for conditions that affect equine performance. The PulseVet Shockwave provides not only proven and effective ways to treat osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, back pain and many other indications, but also the convenience of using equipment that is small enough to be transported easily into the field. Its non-invasive technology allows me to treat conditions where medications would not be allowed due to drug rules. PulseVet Shockwave gives me an edge keeping my patients performing at their best.”
—Dr. Gustavo De Cillo – DVM/Owner
De Cillo Equine Clinic
Hempstead, TX
“We routinely use PulseVet Shock Wave therapy in my practice for the treatment or management of multiple acute or chronic conditions because is a proven, non invasive modality, that delivers the treatment in a matter of minutes and is well tolerated by the horse. Certain desmitis, tendonitis or arthritis can be successfully managed alone or in conjunction with Orthobiologics with shock wave therapy. Portability is another plus of this equipment as it can be fit in our vet trucks allowing us to perform stall site treatment to our patients”

“My only regret was waiting as long as I did to make the trade. Kept telling myself, why trade in something that works perfectly fine, not realizing how much easier the Pulsevet would be to use. Much easier to haul from the clinic to the field as well as taking up much less space in the truck. It’s a no brainer.”
