Therapy Options

Most people are familiar with the use of physical rehabilitation for various human medical and surgical conditions and wonder why post-surgery or post-injury instructions for dogs most often consist of directions only to keep them confined or on short leash walks for 2 – 8 weeks.

Physical Rehabilitation for dogs is a relatively new field but we are seeing significant benefits to the use of appropriate physical rehabilitation techniques, just as its seen in human medicine.

A multi modal approach to pain management and injury recovery is proving to have the most effective and prompt results.  Using the latest technology and therapeutic modalities, we are able to help relieve pain, speed recovery and promote overall good body condition.

The type of dog, type of injury, severity of the injury, athleticism and the expected results determines individual treatment plans.  The treatment frequency and duration depends on the realistic functional goals of your pet.

Canines requiring rehabilitation for pre and post operative conditions, obesity and arthritic management programs, will be accepted on a veterinary referral basis only.  Referring veterinarians and owners are continually updated on the dogs progress, ensuring a healthier pet in the long run.  We encourage owner involvement and will tailor a home care maintenance program that fits your lifestyle and your pet’s individual needs, which may form a vital part of your pets treatment plan.  We recommend the use of a dog coat after treatment in the cooler months to keep your dog warm.  We have specially designed Therapy Coats available for hire for the duration of your dogs course of treatment or they can be made to measure for outright purchase if required.
