How can objective gait analysis improve canine mobility assessment? 🐕📊

We recently worked with Minster Vets to install the zebris CanidGait treadmill, helping the practice bring a more objective and proactive approach to mobility management, osteoarthritis monitoring, working dog screening, and pain identification.

In our latest case study, veterinary surgeon Drew Tootal discusses how the CanidGait system has become a “real game changer” for the practice by allowing repeatable gait assessments, measurable progress tracking, and low-stress mobility analysis for even anxious dogs.

The treadmill is now helping Minster Vets:
✅ Baseline canine mobility and monitor changes over time
✅ Track responses to treatments and rehabilitation
✅ Screen working and sporting dogs proactively
✅ Support behavioural cases where pain may be a contributing factor
✅ Deliver more objective, data-driven clinical decisions

Read the full case study and discover how zebris CanidGait is supporting modern veterinary mobility assessment.
