FAQ

  • Q: What is canine rehabilitation, and how can it help my dog?

    A: Canine rehabilitation uses targeted exercises, therapies, and equipment to help dogs recover from injuries, surgeries, or age-related issues and improve their mobility, strength, and quality of life.

  • Q: What conditions can benefit from rehabilitation?

    A: Dogs recovering from surgery, injury, neurological disease, arthritis, or age-related weakness can all benefit. It’s also helpful for athletic dogs who need conditioning or injury prevention.

  • Q: Why choose at-home rehabilitation instead of a clinic?

    A: At-home rehabilitation allows your dog to recover in a familiar, low-stress environment. This reduces anxiety, makes exercises easier to learn, and ensures progress happens where your dog lives day-to-day. It also lets us evaluate and adapt your home for safety, mobility, and comfort — something a clinic can’t provide.

  • Q: Do I need a referral from my veterinarian?

    A: While not always required, most cases will. A referral or medical records from your veterinarian helps us provide the safest, most effective care for your dog.

  • Q: What should I expect at my dog’s first session?

    A: We’ll do a thorough assessment of your dog’s mobility, strength, and medical history, then create a personalized plan that may include exercises, home modifications, nutrition guidance, and assistive devices.

  • Q: How many sessions will my dog need?

    A: Every dog is different. Some may only need a few visits for guidance, while others with long-term conditions benefit from ongoing care. We’ll discuss your dog’s individual plan at your first appointment.

  • Q: Will I have homework or exercises to do with my dog at home?

    A: Yes — at-home exercises are a key part of recovery and conditioning. We’ll show you exactly how to do them safely.

  • Q: Can you help make my home safer for my dog?

    A: Absolutely. We can recommend ramps, non-slip flooring, or other modifications to make daily life easier and more comfortable for your dog.

  • Q: Do you only work with senior or injured dogs?

    A: No! Rehabilitation and conditioning support dogs of all ages, whether they’re healing, active athletes, or just needing better mobility and wellness support.
