Although some people may think of “rehab” for pets as something that happens after an injury or surgery or to bring a canine athlete to peak performance, our main reason for seeking such training was to give us another way to help senior pets!

Older animals can live more active and enjoyable lives with strong muscles, good balance, and an increased range of motion.  Pets with sore joints or muscles or painful backs can be made more comfortable with some techniques a rehabilitation practitioner can perform (massage, joint compressions, stretching exercises).

We would love to meet your dog or cat for a rehabilitation consultation. We can do it as part of a visit to address another issue (extra time fees may apply), or we can come specifically to do an evaluation and set up a treatment plan.

Although we cannot bring an underwater treadmill to your house, we can provide a complete exercise plan and guide you as your pet becomes more muscular and fit.  Almost all pets (like everyone) could benefit from regular exercise – it is part of staying strong and healthy.  We like to teach you exercises that are fun for your pet and allow you to participate actively in their healing and strengthening.
