Make Plans Now for Upcoming Conferences!
 
Dear VOS members,

I hope you have been having a great summer. It is August already and I am looking forward to the upcoming World Veterinary Orthopaedic Congress (WVOC) in Barcelona, Spain from September 12th-15th, 2018. The early registration deadline was August 10th, but if you are interested in going, you can still register on site. It promises to be a great meeting in a great location!

The VOS Annual Conference is a little earlier than usual next year, from February 9-16. The earlier dates should give us a little better ski weather, so that will be nice. Because of the earlier dates, we had to move our abstract submission deadline up to October 1st. We all love to hear great, new research so now is the time to review your current projects and plan a timeline that will allow you to get your abstract proposals in by the deadline. Don't let it sneak up on you!

Jeff GodwinOur meeting planner, Penny Smith, has announced her plans to retire after our 2021 meeting. That seems like a long way off, but we typically sign contracts 3 years in advance, so we will need to start planning our 2022 meeting soon. That also happens to be the year that the VOS will host the World Congress, so that is all the more reason to be figuring out what we are going to do soon. The VOS Board formed an ad-hoc committee consisting of Past-President Alan Cross, President-Elect Jan Van Dyke, and me to solicit proposals for providing services to our Society for that meeting. We are putting the finishing touches on our Request for Proposal, and will be sending it out soon, so that we can discuss proposals at our fall meeting. We will keep you, our members, informed as we carefully evaluate our options.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Happy cutting! 

Jeff Godwin
President

SPOTLIGHT ON ...
BLUE DOG DESIGNS LLC

Help _Em Up Harness logo Location:
Denver, Colorado
 
What year was the company started? Blue Dog Designs was launched in 2008 with the invention of the Help 'Em Up Harness®, the first full-body lifting device for dogs with impaired mobility and strength.
 
What products / services does your company offer?
Blue Dog Designs specializes in developing products for aging dogs, those recovering from surgery or who require rehabilitation.

The primary product in our line is the Help 'Em Up® Harness with our patented Hip-lift -- when dogs have difficulty moving because of muscle weakness, neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, injuries, or surgical repairs, the Help 'Em Up® Harness provides them with the extra help up they need to live active and healthy lives. It also helps to alleviate stress on your back and body for those who do the heavy lifting or moving of our large canine friends!

We also offer custom accessories for use with our Harness such as walking accessories, as well as specialty items including the Anti-Rotation device for Tripod dogs (to help hold the harness in place around the missing limb) and our Physical Therapy "PT" Adapter Kit (custom clips and cuffs to attach bands and other devices) for exercise therapy and rehabilitation in the harness.
 
What should Veterinary Orthopedic Society members know about your company?
We are a small business that created our product for our dog Blue, hence the name of our company: Blue Dog Designs. Our tag line is Long Live Dogs!, as we have heard from many of our customers that our Harness helped to keep their dog by their side longer. We are a supporter of VOS and have participated in the annual conference as a Gold Consortium Partner for the past several years and have also contributed to the Educational Foundation.
 
Can you explain a challenging situation that your company was able to solve?
Read our reviews at https://helpemup.com/reviews/ on the Help 'Em Up® Harness and how it has helped dogs and other animals manage mobility issues from simply getting up off the floor to more challenging situations of recovering from injuries or recuperating from surgery.

Can you tell us about any new products or services your company is developing?
We look at the Help 'Em Up® Harness as an evolving platform to add new devices to in our line. Upcoming new products include tank straps for use in underwater treadmills that attach to the harness to help hold dogs up during hyrdo-therapy, along with cart straps that connect the harness to wheel carts to help hold dogs up and in place while walking with their wheels.

For more information and to watch demo videos on the harness in action visit helpemup.com. We offer industry discounted pricing for practices who want to carry the harness and/or can provide you with brochures if you simply want to refer your patients to us for a Help 'Em Up Harness.
