Canine Physical Rehabilitation

These services are dedicated to help your pet live a more comfortable and active life. Each patient's treatment will be tailored to its specific needs, depending on the nature of the injury and the condition of the individual dog following the initial assessment.

Treatments will take place in our home office and they vary from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the patient’s needs and modalities used.
