View Full Version : Magnetic Dog collar - would you?

I am looking into stocking bioflow magnetic dog collars alongside the other pet supplies I sell.

I've had great experience with them with my arthritic dog but was wondering if it's something others would consider?

Here's a bit of info:

Benefits of Bioflow collar

* No known side effects
* A small one off cost
* Thousands of users say it worked for their pets for pain relief & healing
* 90 day no quibble money back guarantee
* A natural product, no pills to swallow

How they work

Bioflow magnetic health products are designed to promote and maintain good health through the application of magnetic fields to the blood flow. The theory is they help restore the body's natural pH balance. The correct pH balance is vital to the life of all cells in the body. The use of an external magnetic source helps the body in healing while alleviates the need for the body to deplete its own energy resources. The body then absorbs the energy required for optimal well being. Natural healing is enhanced and well being restored and maintained.

A unique, patented magnetic module is attached firmly to a webbing collar & has been proven by many users to enhance better health, increased energy & quicker recovery from illness.


Sorry it's copy and pasted as I'm busy and don't have loads of time to explain! So not my own words.

Just wondering what others thought... to see if it's worth pursuing.

Is there anything I can read that explains exactly how a magnetic field (which can only attract or repel over a certain area) affects pH balance throughout an entire animal? Also, I'd be interested in reading how changing the content of blood cures a condition that affects joints.

Personally, I think these sort of things, both human and animal, are a scam. I've yet to see any scientific evidence that they work. If it can be proved otherwise I'm open to persuasion!

I'm personally not into many 'alternative' therapies due to be being pretty scientific minded.....I like to have data evidence for everything and a proper scientific explanation :lol:

However I do agree with the placebo effect of things (positive thinking)...if you believe you think you see an improvement, it makes you feel better. In the case of an animal I guess the owner gets the placebo effect and believes the animal is better as they are looking for any positive / improvements signs that their pets gives, putting the owner in a better frame of mind and possibly then even the dog?!

I'm all for the feel good factor as I believe well being has a lot to do with health, when your miserable you feel worse. However because I'm quite a sceptic it would have to be an alternative therapy I enjoy or find relaxing to get anything out of it. A magnetic band would not give me that enjoyment and as I don't believe they work, I doubt it would work for my dog.

Hope that makes sense, as for stocking them I suppose you have lost some of your market from the start if they don't believe they work like me..... but other people might be willing to give it a try.

Well i have a labrador who has bilateral elbow dysplasia. She was 6 when it started and couldn`t limp more than a few yards, she walked very slowly like a very old stiff dog.

She has had surgery on her elbows and has also had many months of hydrotherapy.

One of the first things i bought for her following surgery was a bioflow magnetic collar, my previous dog had arthritis and wore one for many years and it made a noticable difference.

I`ll never know for certain whether the collar has contributed to the massive improvement to her quality of life and mobility but i was willing to try anything at all to reduce the pain she was in.

If I had a dog, I'd consider anything to make him/her better. So yes I would. But I dont have a dog. Im not contributing anything good here am I? :hihi:

Thanks guys,

Obviously - having seen results myself (although not being able to put it down 100% to the collar as Eddy got pretty much an entire lifestyle change around the same time) then I would disagree with the placebo effect.

Probably because his collar wasn't noticeably different to any other collar so you forgot he was wearing anything magnetic.

However, I really appreciate the feedback. I wouldn't go into this if I felt there wasn't enough interest so everyone's opinions matter!

KarlM - I don't have any of the info you requested but can find some stuff out for you :) As obviously, it's something I'd need to do a fair bit of research on before committing to anyway.

PS Mabsky - nice to hear from you! Long time no see! Hope you're doing well x

I was a bioflow agent about 6 years ago Lotti and did ok with the dog/cat collars and horse stuff, but not so well on the human stuff as they are quite expensive and people can be sceptical.

I had a collar for Gem and I really think it did make a difference and my mum and dad still wear their bracelets.

Thanks Gemima, to be honest, I'm considering going back to the bracelets myself having recently got into natural health in an embarassingly big way! I used to have bracelets but can't really tell you if they did me any good as I also wore my compression garments back then too and took the medication I was told to take :lol:

Yes I think I would try one, I'm of the opinion anythings worth a go! If it works carry on with it, if not then try something else!

Lotti if you are interested a friend of mine is qualified in essential oil therapy for animals and people and is looking for outlets if you would be interested. She is also a Reiki Practitioner. Let me know if you want further info.

If it can be proved otherwise I'm open to persuasion!the magnets makes blood flow around the body more efficiently so you get more oxygen to all the body so harmfull toxins are reduced including the one latic toxin that contributes to painfull joints they also create a magnetic field that affects the the electric pulses around the nervuos system its been used for many years even in hospitals but on a much larger scale
Hope that helps.
Best i can exsplain sorry.

I think they do work. I took on a dalmation (rescue)He was about 12 when i got him ,his joints were so stiff got him a collar and it worked. Anything must be worth a try if it helps them.

As for human products, my Mum would get a dull ache in her body and she was told to try the bioflow bracelet and she really felt the difference, She swears by them.

My Grandad has also worn one for most of his life now and he swears by it too.

We brought my elderly lab one of these collars as she was getting a bit old and creaky lol and it worked wonders on her too so I'm very much for these type of products :D

Just beware of the PM's ppl will be getting from a forum member claiming he can cure all the world problems with his versions :lol:

Sorry, still not convinced!

A) Blood isn't magnetic.
B) A magnetic field would interfere with neuron pulses in the nervous system, not help them. Also, given the minisule distances that neurons travel I still don't see how it would work.
C) I was always taught that the flow of blood around the body was determined by the pulse of the heart vs. resistance/constriction of blood vessels.
D) Anything electrical protects a small magnetic field. Will wearing my Casio have the same effect as these bracelets?

I'd really like to believe that something as cheap and easy as a special bracelet would cure such a common illness, but after all these years there still isn't any clinical proof to back up their claims, just GCSE level science theory.

I can honestly saw i bought Dodger one last year and its the best thing i have ever got him.

Not sure of how and why it works but it does, he went from a limping lame 13 yrs old Staffie to a staffie half his age.:huh:

I would recommend them to anyone :)
