What to Bring
Bring your pet! Also, be sure to wear comfortable clothes so you can participate in the rehabilitation of your pet. If swimming is part of the prescribed rehabilitation program, please bring a towel or blanket for your pet on the way home. In addition, bring any medical information that might be helpful in determining your pet's rehabilitation needs to the first visit.
What to Expect
Your initial visit will take approximately one hour and subsequent visits will range between 30 - 45 minutes. During your first visit, we will inquire about your pet's history prior to a hands-on evaluation. This exam will determine your pet's range of motion, palpation and gait. Based on this information, we will explain the recommended course of action as well as the duration of treatment anticipated.
We will also provide you with detailed instructions for working with your dog or cat at home in conjunction with our in-office rehabilitation to ensure the best prognosis for your pet. Usually at-home practices include massage, range of motion, exercises, and activity progression.
