Our US Partners

USDAA & NADD

Why the Partnership?

It is important to understand the significant connection between mobility and wellness as pets age.  Antinol engaged USDAA to collaborate on a partnership that would help shed light on the important topic and raise awareness of common mobility issues faced by aging dogs and dogs engaged in sport. This partnership will help to improve and maintain the quality of life of all dogs.

Meet Tom - Antinol’s Agility Relationship & Educational Manager

Tom Knutson

Being at agility trials is one of the most exciting sports for me to watch. To see dogs and their trainers work together at the highest level in agility is up there with the Super Bowl, the Olympics and other peak athletic sports.

Why the Partnership?

Pure happiness in motion is when a diving dog runs the length of a dock and leaps as far out into the water as possible. Antinol partnered with North America Diving Dogs because dogs need healthy joints to keep their momentum to get the best launch possible. Together we aim to raise awareness on the importance of joint health to help diving dogs leap further, higher and maintain their mobility for longer. Keep happiness in motion.

When I saw my first diving dog event, I was blown away. Fun and joyful; it looks like what dogs were born to do; they are pure happiness in motion.

When a dog handler heads to the end of the dock to throw the toy there is an excitement that develops from an incredible bond that this sport brings between owners and pets.

About North America Diving Dogs (NADD)

Diving Dogs is a canine sport in which dogs are enticed to run the length of a dock and leap as far out into the water as possible to compete for height or distance.
