For Referring Veterinarians

Wellness & Rehabilitation

We don’t just provide comprehensive veterinary medicine. We see the bigger picture. And it means the longest, happiest life possible for the pet you love. 

Why Physical Therapy? Physical rehabilitation for animals is based on principles similar to those in human physical therapy. Physical therapy has been recommended for human patients to manage chronic, painful conditions and to help improve recovery from injuries, surgeries, and neurologic disorders. Our dogs and cats suffer from similar conditions. They can benefit from physical rehabilitation as part of their care plan to help return them to comfortable movement and function.
