As the days get shorter, the ground becomes damp, and the air becomes clammy, our dogs' well-being also changes. Older dogs or those with arthritis are especially sensitive to the cold. Their joints become stiffer, their movements slower, and sometimes it takes a bit of persuasion to get them to go for a walk. Even their favorite toy is left behind more often, and their otherwise joyful urge to move seems to wane.
No wonder: Cold and wet conditions inhibit blood circulation and impede the supply of nutrients to the joints. Cartilage loses elasticity, muscles tense up more quickly, and inflammatory processes can worsen. Many dog owners feel especially acutely during this time of year how much their furry friends are suffering from the climate changes and wish they could simply provide a little relief.
This is exactly where our emmi-pet Physio Set comes in. It was specially developed to gently relieve muscle tension, promote blood circulation, and support the regeneration of joints and tendons. Completely without pressure, pain, or noise. A gentle aid that provides warmth, relief, and well-being, allowing your dog to move more easily and freely again.
In this article, we explain why joint pain increases in winter, how you can recognize typical signs early on, and how our emmi-pet physio set can help your dog to get through the cold season in a flexible, relaxed, and happy manner.
Gentle technology with noticeable effect
Our emmi-pet Physio Set is based on the same patented ultrasound technology used for gentle dental care. However, it features a specially developed therapy attachment. This generates up to 96 million vibrations per minute that penetrate deep into the tissue without irritating or heating it.
A delicate micro-massage unfolds inside, activating the cells, stimulating the metabolism, and promoting blood circulation . This improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to stressed areas, while metabolic waste can be more easily removed. The tissue relaxes, muscles loosen, and your dog can move more freely again.
Especially in cases of arthritis, muscle tension, or tendon irritation, this treatment can be a valuable complement to veterinary treatment. It's important to note: This is not a cure, but rather a supportive measure that can contribute to relief, regeneration, and increased well-being.
Advantages of our emmi-pet physio set at a glance:
- Promotes blood circulation and cell activity
- Can relieve tension and muscle stiffness
- Supports regeneration after exercise or exertion
- Helps maintain mobility
- Completely silent, pain-free and stress-free
The result is pure relaxation – a soothing aid that your dog will usually noticeably enjoy after just a few applications.
Osteoarthritis and age-related stiffness – when movement becomes difficult
As a dog ages, many things change in its body – and the joints are no exception. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases in older animals and primarily affects:
- Hip,
- Elbow,
- knees and
- spine .
The protective joint cartilage slowly wears away, loses elasticity, and becomes thinner. As a result, the joint surfaces rub against each other, leading to pain, inflammation, and restricted movement .
These complaints are difficult for many dog owners to bear. Often, the dog adopts protective postures to avoid pain, but this puts strain on other areas of the body and leads to new tension. This creates a cycle that can only be broken through targeted exercise, warmth, and gentle care.
This is where our emmi-pet Physio Set comes in . The gentle ultrasound penetrates deep into the tissue, stimulating cell activity and supporting blood circulation. With regular use, your dog's movement can noticeably improve : He'll stand up more easily, move more fluidly, and gradually regain his usual zest for life.
Even after operations, injuries or intensive training sessions, the application can help promote regeneration and prevent muscle hardening.
How the application works at home
The emmi-pet Physio Set consists of a handy ultrasound device , a specially developed therapy attachment , and a conductive gel that optimally transmits the vibrations into the tissue. Everything is designed to provide relief for your dog. Without pressure, without noise, without stress.
It is very easy to use and quickly becomes a little feel-good moment in your everyday life:
- Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected area.
- Gently place the ultrasound head on the skin.
- Turn on the device. You won't hear or feel anything, but the ultrasound will penetrate deep into the tissue .
- After about 3 to 5 minutes, you can gently rub the area or simply let your dog relax.
Our tip: Use the physio set 3-4 times a week , ideally after a walk when the muscles are already slightly warmed up. This will support your dog's natural recovery most effectively while also providing him with soothing closeness and peace.

Complementary care: The coat care oil as natural support
In addition to targeted ultrasound treatment, you can also support your dog's joints with gentle external care . Our emmi-pet coat care spray contains high-quality, natural ingredients that not only care for the skin but also keep the coat supple and pleasantly enhance the massage effect of the physiotherapy treatment.
After treatment, simply apply a few drops to the affected area and massage in gently. The light, natural scent and gentle touch have a calming effect, promoting tissue elasticity while relaxing muscles.
This transforms a supportive treatment into a moment of closeness. A short break that's not only good for the body but also deepens the bond between you and your dog .
Warmth, exercise and routine – the perfect trio for joint health
In addition to targeted ultrasound care, daily routine also plays a crucial role in your dog's joint health. Especially during the cooler seasons, sensitive animals need a little more attention to feel comfortable and stay mobile. A lot can be achieved with a few lovingly integrated routines.
- Use heat sources: Cozy blankets, heated or orthopedic dog beds , or a sunny spot by the window are not only good for your dog, but also help keep muscles and joints supple.
- Exercise in moderation: Short but regular walks promote blood circulation and strengthen muscles without overloading the joints.
- Establish care rituals: Ten minutes of gentle physiotherapy per day are often more effective than infrequent, long sessions.
- Massage with coat care products: A light massage after the treatment helps prevent tension and also provides closeness and security.
- Adjust your diet: A balanced, joint-friendly diet with omega-3 fatty acids can support natural mobility from within.
This creates a holistic approach of technology, care and exercise that not only gives your dog relief but also joy in life.
Who is the emmi-pet Physio Set particularly suitable for?
Our emmi-pet physio set is versatile and suitable for dogs of all ages. However, it is especially valuable for four-legged friends who already need a little more support in their daily lives or whose mobility is limited.
It can be helpful for:
- Seniors who show the first signs of osteoarthritis or who have difficulty moving in the morning.
- Dogs with stiff gait or noticeable muscle tension, for example after a long period of rest.
- Animals in the convalescence phase , i.e. after injuries or operations, to gently accompany the healing process.
- Sport dogs that train regularly and whose muscles need relaxing care after use.
- Sensitive or anxious dogs who are sensitive to vibrations, noises or pressure.
Because the ultrasound operates completely silently and vibration-free , even skittish dogs find it pleasant and calming . Grooming becomes a familiar, soothing ritual rather than a challenge.
