Horse and dog outdoors — AcuLife patches for animals

LifeWave technology adapted for dogs, cats and horses. Who chooses it, how to use it and what to keep in mind.

AcuLife is LifeWave's product for animals. It works on the same principle as X39: a non-drug phototherapy patch without medicinal substances that responds to body heat. The difference lies in the adaptation for animals: size, attachment method and usage recommendations.

Who chooses AcuLife for their pets?

  • Owners of sport horses and dogs — alongside training and competitions.
  • Owners of senior pets who want to support their activity.
  • People who already use X39 themselves and want the same care for their animal.

How do you use the AcuLife patch?

The patch is placed on an area of skin with short fur or on a special holder. The exact spots and wearing time are given in the product instructions — we will explain them in detail during a consultation. Make sure the animal does not chew the patch, and check the skin underneath.

What else matters for your pet's activity?

Staying active in old age is above all about the right exercise, weight, a comfortable place to sleep and regular check-ups. We collected practical tips in "An older dog: how to keep them active". For horses it is worth studying care and welfare guidance from specialist organisations — the link is in the sources.

If you are choosing between products for yourself and for your pet, see "How to choose a LifeWave product" or write to us — we will help you work it out.
