Dog & Cat Rehabilitation

Animal rehabilitation involves the use of human physical therapy assessment and treatment techniques on pets. The goal of rehabilitation is to improve the quality of life of those recovering from orthopedic and neurological conditions. This is done by managing pain, restoring mobility, range of motion & movement, and preventing further complications. Call us at 403-342-5200 to learn more.

When would you recommend rehabilitation services?

If your pet is displaying signs of pain or has gotten into a serious injury, then we would recommend booking an appointment with us first. During the initial visit, our veterinary team will conduct an assessment to understand your pet's health conditions, which includes a detailed exam of their movement, spinal & joint function, physical abilities, and overall strength.

What types of conditions can rehabilitation treat?

There are several issues that rehabilitation can treat:

• Orthopedic injuries
• Neurological conditions
• Osteoarthritis
• Chronic pain
• Geriatric rejuvenation
• Obesity
• Post-operative reconditioning

How will my pet benefit from rehabilitation?

Animal rehabilitation can restore, maintain, and promote optimal mobility and function in the spine or joints. It can also enhance recovery post-operatively, alleviate pain, and improve circulation, coordination, and range of motion. Healthy, athletic pets could also benefit from conditioning and weight loss programs.
