| HISTORY OF THE ROVER The Rover was developed in 1995, by John Solimine to help dogs who might in the past have been put to sleep because they could no longer walk. Dogs who sustain back injuries often lose strength in their legs over time because they are unable to exercise. Even if their backs eventually heal, they are incapable of walking because they have lost too much muscle in their legs. Inability to exercise, eat, drink, urinate, defecate, and keep clean often lead to depression in dogs. | | PROVEN EFFECTIVE Jack Van Voast, owner of K-9 K-9 Kennels and breeder of Rottweilers, used The Rover to help his show class Rottweiler, Ilke, recover from a back injury. She could not walk on her own, was urinating and defecating on herself, was unable to keep herself clean, and was losing interest in life.
The Rover gave her a second chance by allowing her to exercise her legs while fully supporting her back. She is once again capable of running unaided and living a normal life. | |
