The Missing Link in Canine Athlete Health: Prevention, Early Recognition, Rehab & Performance

Canine athlete health, injury prevention, early recognition, rehabilitation, performance and return to sport are at the heart of Inside the Canine Athlete. In this first episode, Jana Gams and Dr. Sherman Canapp introduce why the podcast was created and the gaps it will explore: from diagnosis and treatment to physical readiness, safe return to sport and long-term well-being. They discuss why medical clearance does not always mean an athlete is physically ready, why subtle changes in movement and performance matter, and why supporting the whole dog requires collaboration between owners, trainers, veterinarians and rehabilitation professionals.
