Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Gait4Dog® lameness detection treadmill, a collaborative innovation by Fit Fur Life, Gait 4 Dog, and Kennel & Paddock, aimed at advancing lameness detection in the veterinary industry.
Assessment of Lameness
Traditional methods involve observing the dog’s movement and conducting physical examinations. However, these methods can miss vital signs. The Gait4Dog Lameness Score (GLS) provides a numerical score to quantify lameness, making it easier for clinicians and owners to understand.
GLS Scoring System
The GLS is based on a 100-point system, where scores below 100 indicate lameness, and scores above 100 suggest compensation or adaptation. Developed over eight years, it has been adapted for use with the GAIT4Dog Treadmill system.
Health Confirmation and Diagnosis
The system aids in screening for orthopedic issues and can detect subclinical changes like arthritis. It supports diagnosis and investigation of conditions such as hip dysplasia and CCL rupture.
Documentation and Improvement
The treadmill supports various protocols, including surgical, rehabilitation, and pharmaceutical, offering a comprehensive guide to canine gait analysis. It requires minimal space and allows for precise control of speed, reducing handler error.
Specifications
The treadmill features a resistive ink sensor system, a heavy-duty frame, and a running area of 200cm x 45cm. It includes a 2 HP motor, adjustable incline and decline, and supports a maximum dog weight of 130kg. The system is CE certified and includes a Logitech camera.
Data and Analysis
The Gait4Dog system provides objective analysis of a dog’s gait, enabling early identification of lameness and monitoring treatment progress.
Testimonials
Veterinary professionals endorse the Gait4Dog system for its ability to provide objective data and facilitate early detection of lameness in a non-invasive manner.

HQW DQ WE ASSESS LAMENESS IN A DQG? Typically, we observe the dog in function walking in various directions and perform a full physical examination, including orthopaedic or neurological (if required) to assess lameness. It is widely accepted that there are many reasons why palpation, manipulation and observation do not always give us the overall answer; research has shown that observational and subjective analysis can miss vital signs and important information. GAIT4DQG LAMENESS SCORE (GLS) GLS is a scoring system that makes quantifying lameness a simple numerical score readily understood by...
