Animal Rehabilitation

Pets are family members, too. With special care from their families and advances in veterinary medicine, pets are living longer, healthier lives.  With increased activity and longevity, there is a need for physical rehabilitation. Our pets, just like us, should have the same opportunity to speed recovery, reduce pain and achieve optimum quality of life.

Physical rehabilitation has become an increasingly important tool as an adjunct to veterinary medicine following surgical intervention, injury, chronic pain, and neuromuscular ailments. Physical rehabilitation aids in the prevention of injury and recovery from trauma, expanding the physical potential and quality of life of our canine companions.

Our goal at the VCA Animal Medical Center is to help your pet achieve a fast, safe recovery from surgery or injury. Our rehabilitation staff will also teach you home-care techniques you can use to supplement our treatments. Your pet must be examined by our veterinary staff to assure that it is safe to begin physical rehabilitation.
