✨ Meet the Newest Member of Our Team! ✨

Many of you may have noticed a new face around the clinic, and we are excited to officially introduce her!

Please join us in welcoming Samantha, our new full-time Hydrotherapist and Rehabilitation Assistant. 🐾

Sam worked in several local Prince George veterinary clinics from 2018 to 2024 before moving to Prince Rupert, where she joined the BC SPCA as an Animal Care Specialist and Supervisor. She is Fear Free certified and brings extensive hands-on experience working with a wide range of canine and feline behaviours.

Now back in Prince George, Sam is excited to begin her journey in canine rehabilitation, and we are thrilled to have her as part of our team. We are confident that her experience and passion will be a wonderful addition to our clinic!

Thank you for your patience as we navigate staff changes and training. Please give Samantha a warm welcome when you see her in the clinic! 💛

✨ BIG NEWS!! ✨

We were able to open up TWO consultation spots for tomorrow, March 17th for new patients.

These are the last spots available before Dr. Mann begins her maternity leave.

If you have been thinking about getting your dog or cat assessed for pain, mobility changes, post-surgical recovery, arthritis support, or performance optimization, this is your sign. 🐾

Once these final spots are filled, all new clients will be placed on a waitlist until Dr. Mann returns.

Rehabilitation is most effective when started early. Subtle stiffness, slower rising, hesitation on stairs, or decreased endurance are often the first signs that your pet could benefit from support. Addressing concerns early can help prevent further compensation and discomfort down the road.

If you have been on the fence, we would truly love to help your pet before this temporary pause in new intakes.

📩 Send us a message or call the clinic to claim one of the final two spots.

Yes, we’re still here 👋

We know we’ve been a little quieter on social media lately, so we wanted to pop in with an update!

Behind the scenes, it has been very busy as we prepare for Dr. Mann’s upcoming maternity leave. A lot of thoughtful planning has been happening to ensure all of our current patients continue to receive seamless, high-quality rehabilitation care while she is away.

At the same time, we have been working hard to consult with as many new patients as possible before her leave so we can support as many pets as we can.

We also have some exciting things in the works that require a bit of extra planning from our management and social media team. That includes onboarding new team members. You will soon be seeing some fresh faces around the clinic, and we truly cannot wait to officially introduce them to you. We are so grateful to be growing our team with passionate professionals who share our commitment to compassionate, evidence-based rehab care.

✨ A few consultation spots are still available before Dr. Mann begins her leave.
If you have been considering booking an assessment for your pet, now is the time to reach out. Once these remaining spots are filled, new patients will be placed on a wait list until her return.

As always, thank you for your continued trust and support. We feel incredibly lucky to care for this community and your wonderful pets. 🐾💛

✨ BIG NEWS!! Only FOUR new patient spots are left ✨

We have just four consultation spots remaining for new patients before Dr. Mann begins her maternity leave.

If you have been thinking about getting your dog or cat assessed for pain, mobility changes, post-surgical recovery, arthritis support, or performance optimization, this is your sign. 🐾

Once these final spots are filled, all new clients will be placed on a wait-list starting March 13, 2026 until Dr. Mann returns.

Rehabilitation is most effective when started early. Subtle stiffness, slower rises, hesitation on stairs, or decreased endurance are often the first signs that your pet could benefit from support. Addressing concerns now can prevent further compensation and discomfort down the road.

If you have been on the fence, we would truly love to help your pet before this temporary pause in new intakes.

🌟 February Patient of the Month: Scooby! 🐾

Scooby first came to Stretch & Fetch in October 2025 after a suspected Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) episode.

When we first met him, he was paralyzed in his hind limbs and relied on his front legs to drag himself around. While he still had deep pain sensation, he had no conscious proprioception and his reflexes were very weak.

Surgery is often considered the gold standard treatment for IVDD cases this severe. Like many families facing difficult decisions, this was not a feasible option for Scooby’s guardian. Instead, they committed to conservative management through intensive rehabilitation and hydrotherapy. Scooby began treatment twice weekly, focusing on neurological retraining, strength building, and improving mobility.

Through dedication, consistency, and a lot of hard work from his family, Scooby has made incredible progress. He is now able to walk again! While he still has ataxia in his hind limbs, the transformation from dragging himself to walking independently has been truly amazing to watch. 💛

Dogs managed conservatively for IVDD do carry a higher risk of reinjury, which makes long term maintenance rehabilitation very important. Scooby continues to work on strength, proprioception, and regular medical check-ins to help keep him comfortable and mobile.

We are so proud of you, Scooby!

🐾 Have you considered pet insurance? 🐾

One of the greatest gifts you can give your pet is the ability to say yes to medical care without having to make heartbreaking financial decisions. Pet insurance provides peace of mind, freedom of choice, and the ability to focus fully on your pet’s health and comfort.

We see firsthand how powerful insurance can be.

One of our patients is just two years old and has a genetic orthopedic condition that will require lifelong medical management. To date, his insurance has already covered $11,000 in treatment. If he lives to be ten years old, coverage at this rate would exceed $55,000, giving him access to ongoing care, comfort, and quality of life without financial strain on his family.

Another patient of ours is ten years old and has been with us long term following life saving spinal surgery. His insurance company has already paid out $18,000 to support his recovery and rehabilitation. Do not let his age fool you. He is thriving, full of personality, and expected to enjoy many more happy years ahead thanks to his dedicated owners and insurance company!🧡

Do veterinary clinics receive incentives from insurance companies?
No. We advocate for pet insurance because we witness how truly valuable it is. We know how devastating it can feel to decline treatments that could significantly improve a pet’s comfort and quality of life simply due to financial limitations.

Pet insurance allows medical decisions to be made based on what is best for your pet, not what is most affordable. That peace of mind is priceless.

If you have a young pet, now is the perfect time to explore coverage options. The earlier you start, the more protection your pet will have throughout their life 🐶🐱

Your future self and your pet will thank you.

Which company do we recommend?
We have seen the biggest payouts and least amount of restrictions with Trupanion and their direct pay to clinic option can't be beat. Don't forget the added package feature for alternative medicine to have all of your rehabilitation needs met!

🐾 Top 5 Conditions We Treat in Dogs 🐾

These five conditions are some of the most common reasons dogs come to see us, but they are only a small part of what rehabilitation can help with.

From ligament injuries and arthritis to back pain, hip dysplasia, and soft tissue strains, rehabilitation plays a critical role in improving comfort, restoring strength, and supporting safe movement. Our goal is not just to reduce pain, but to help dogs return to doing the things they love with confidence and ease.

If your dog has been diagnosed with any of these conditions or if you are noticing changes like stiffness, limping, reluctance to jump, or slowing down, early rehabilitation can make a huge difference. Starting treatment sooner rather than later leads to better outcomes, faster recovery, and improved long term quality of life.

While these are the conditions we see most often, we treat a wide range of mobility concerns. Any condition that affects how your dog moves, feels, or functions can benefit from a personalized rehabilitation plan.

If your dog is struggling or you simply want guidance on how to support their mobility, we would love to help 🐶
