Media Release | July 13, 2026
Trinity, FL — Pasco’s Retired K-9 Foundation is proud to announce an official partnership with Cryo-Eeze and its specialized nonprofit, Cryoeeze22. This collaboration introduces cutting-edge, non-invasive therapeutic treatments designed to improve the health, mobility, and overall quality of life of retired law enforcement K-9s.
Working dogs dedicate their lives to public safety, routinely enduring extreme physical stress, rigorous training, and high-impact activities. Consequently, many retired K-9s suffer from chronic conditions such as severe arthritis, hip dysplasia, and joint inflammation. With no guaranteed medical coverage for retired K-9s, the financial responsibility often falls entirely on their handlers.
Through this new partnership, Cryo-Eeze is opening its doors to these canine heroes, offering advanced recovery modalities originally designed for elite human athletes.

The integration of these therapies is already showing remarkable results. Key treatments provided under the partnership include:
- Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy): Whole-body red light blankets stimulate cellular repair, reduce deep muscle inflammation, and alleviate chronic joint pain.
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy: Targeted PEMF loops and pads are used directly on the hips and spine to accelerate bone healing, improve circulation and mobility, and reduce pain and inflammation.
“I think it’s working!! Two different vets have said to continue it.” Said Bridget Coyman, the handler of Retired K-9 Jagger. “I am committed to do whatever it takes to give him the best quality of life in his senior years. He’s definitely earned it. The amount of improvement I have seen since he started his treatment is immeasurable.”
“Our mission has always been to ensure these dogs live out their retirement in comfort, dignity, and peace,” said Thomas DeLuca, Director of Pasco’s Retired K-9 Foundation. “Partnering with Cryo-Eeze and Cryoeeze22 allows us to facilitate top notch, holistic care options that drastically reduce their pain without relying on heavy medications or surgeries.”
This partnership highlights a shared commitment to giving back to our community’s heroes and those who defend our nation, ensuring that those who served—on two legs or four—receive the care they deserve.
