The EMbed Drift's signature technology is commonly known as Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. PEMF gently permeates your pet's soft tissue and works at the cellular level to help reduce pain and swelling while increasing blood flow.
The EMbed Drift is a noninvasive solution for pain management, whether it is for acute injury, post-operative recovery or chronic (arthritic) pain. The EMbed device is rechargeable and easy to use. Simply press the power button to start your pet's 2-hour therapy session. The depth of treatment is 4-6 inches in all directions from the center of the EMpower device. Keeping in mind that pets are far more sensitive than humans, we've designed our EM technology to be subsensory, meaning your pet won't feel a thing. Unlike TENS, our EM technology does not emit any vibration, tingling sensations, or noise.
Components

1 EMbed Drift Pet Bed
With 2 Performance Foam pads and 2 layers of additional padding, the bed provides your pet with a cozy place to relax even when the therapy's not running. The silky soft, water-resistant microvelvet cover is surprisingly durable, standing up to all the scratching and adjusting that your pet needs to feel fully comfortable.
-
EMpower Device(s)
The small Drift Bed comes with 1 EMpower device, while the large Drift Bed comes with 2 EMpower devices. These devices produce the PEMF that will help relieve your pet's pain and speed their healing. They fit comfortably inside the Drift bed, where the included device caps and hook and loop closures ensure the device stays put as your pet shift, settles, and relaxes. Each device also comes with a mini-USB compatible AC charger for convenient charging between therapies.
Common Conditions that benefit from PEMF Therapy
- Hip, back, shoulder, and joint pain
- Pain associated with hip dysplasia
- Post-surgical pain management and recovery
- Pain relief for conditions where the dog is not a surgical candidate
- Osteoarthritis (OA) pain
- Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) symptoms and pain
- Aches and pains resulting from overexertion, strains, and sprains
Benefits of the EMbed Drift Pet Bed
- Reduces pain without side effects or dependency on NSAIDs
- Provides therapy while your pet is in a comfortable resting position

PEMF has been clinically proven to:
- Increase anti-inflammatory response
- Increase circulation
- Reduce swelling
- Relieve pain, including pain following surgery
- Increase blood and lymph flow
- Provide temporary relief from the symptoms that accompany dysplasia occurring in the hip, spine, or shoulder regions
Features
- Attractive design with sleek microvelvet bed cover
- Cushioning foam padding cradle your pet while at rest - whether or not the therapy device are active
- Easy, single-button operation
- EMbed devices automatically power off when therapy is complete
- Powered by a durable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery
Human Tested, Dog Approved.
- Our innovative induction coil generates a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) that improves intracellular function through energy induction.
- Clinically proven in the human space, EM/PEMF therapy works at the cellular level, accelerating the binding of Calcium (Ca2+) and Calmodium (CaM) in the body. This new compound is then coupled with an enzyme called endothelial nitric oxide synthase to trigger the production of Nitric Oxide (NO).
- Nitric Oxide is an important cellular signaling molecule involved in many physiological and pathological processes. It reduces COX-2, an enzyme that promotes inflammation and pain.
- Lymph and blood flow are increased, leading to faster healing along with reduced pain and inflammation.
EMbed Drift Pet Bed Dimensions
Use
- For optimal results, we recommend completing one two-hour treatment every day for at least two weeks. Consult your veterinarian to determine if your pet's individual treatment plan will differ.
- While it is most common to see improvements after two weeks, some pet owners may see results right away. You may notice improvements in mood, activity, behavior, and ease of movement.
- After seeing improvement, we recommend using the EMbed Drift on an as-needed basis.

How does the L'il Back Bracer provide support?
The L’il Back Bracer is an orthopedic support garment for dogs suffering with IVDD or other back injuries. The brace is made of a very high quality breathable and antimicrobial neoprene that is very comfortable for your dog. There are stays that line the back and abdomen to provide the needed support and stabilization of the spine.
How often should my dog wear the brace?
It depends on you and your dog. Some pet parents will put the back brace on all day (up to 14 hours) while some just use our back brace for walks or times of high activity and play. The back brace is flexible, so it allows the muscles to engage and ‘work’, it is not like a stiff cast. This is important so that the muscles do not become weak from wearing the brace.
*Please note that our dog back brace is not meant to replace the crate rest period that is prescribed by your Veterinarian.
Can I leave the brace on my dog all day?
This brace is not meant to be worn all day. You may leave the brace on your dog for up to 14 hours a day. However, be sure to remove the brace when your dog is resting, this will prevent irritation and allow their body to air out. Check for any signs of irritation after removing the brace.
Please remove the brace before your dog goes to bed at night and when they are resting for long periods of time.
Can my dog “do their business” while wearing this back brace?
Yes, our back brace fits in a way that leaves that area of your dog free to take care of business without the brace blocking that part of their body.
Does my dog need to have a separate harness for walks?
The L’il Back Bracer has an attached “D” ring so when taking walks the brace acts as a harness. Just attach the leash to the ring and enjoy a safe supported walk.
How do I care for the brace?
To clean the brace just hand wash and lay flat to dry. For removing hair, we have found that a rubber pet hair remover brush works best.
Can my dog jump with the brace on?
The L'il Back Bracer stabilizes the spinal column (from about where a collar would sit) and its snug fit provides overall comfort. While all dogs and all cases can vary, the L'il Back Bracer has successfully helped in many cases with increased mobility and relief. The feedback we have received on dogs regaining their mobility or at least increasing it has been tremendous.
As far as "jumping", it depends on whether your l'il one will continue to jump with the brace on. Our L'il Back Bracer's design is flexible, not like a stiff cast, so they are able to move as they normally would - just with a l'il support. Some dogs keep real still with the brace on and do not jump or run due to the calming effect the snug fit has on the nervous system, while some dogs resume their normal activity while wearing it.
Will my dog get muscle atrophy from the L'il Back Bracer?
No. Our back brace is lightweight. Helps give support down the spine.
What if my dog doesn’t like it?
It is not uncommon for dogs to not love the brace straight away. A natural thing for them is to sit still or whimper when wearing it because they aren’t sure what to do with the brace on. To help with this, we recommend a break-in period of 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Give your dog a treat and praise him/her for wearing the brace. This will hopefully allow your l'il one to associate the brace being a good thing. Increase the amount of time each day until they can wear the brace up to 14 hours.
Can the brace be worn in the water?
Yes. The material is a breathable, neoprene material. Recommended washing instructions is: hand wash and then air dry. Do not put a wet brace on your dog as this may cause irritation.
