Get Your Pet Back on All Fours

Comprehensive Animal Rehabilitation Services

When you bring your pet in to see us for rehabilitation services, we take the time to get to know you and your pet, to understand their condition and their needs. We work with you to understand your pet’s history and lifestyle so that we can devise a treatment plan that is best suited to their specific needs. We know that no two pets are the same and, as such, no two rehabilitation plans should be the same.

We might combine a variety of treatments to help produce the best results for your pet. It might take multiple treatments to see results. When we examine your pet, we’ll be able to determine what is necessary for the best results.

Your pet’s unique treatment approach will be able to help:

• Reduce pain

• Speed healing
• Increase strength
• Prevent muscle loss
• Improve overall health

The benefits of rehabilitation are many. Come see for yourself! Your pet will thank you.

Post-Surgical Care

Recovering from surgery can be a long process, depending on the type of surgery your pet has received. It’s important that your pet doesn’t injure themselves during the healing process, and it’s also important that they don’t lose their mobility or muscle tone as a result of the rest protocols after surgery.

When we send your pet home after surgery, we’ll send you home with specific instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy throughout the recovery process. It’s important that you keep an eye on your pet and encourage safe, healthy activity while they heal.

Tips for a safe recovery include:

• Giving your pet a quiet, comfortable space indoors to rest

• Moderating your pet’s activity, avoiding activities like running or jumping; but moderated walks can be beneficial to your pet’s health
• Avoiding getting the incision area wet
• Keeping an eye on the incision area for any signs of infection
• Preventing your pet from licking or scratching the surgical site

No matter what kind of surgery your pet is recovering from, keeping a close eye on them as they recover is hugely beneficial for their ultimate outcome.
