The fear free approach works to reduce anxiety, stress, and fear for dogs in a new space with new people. Our goal is to build a trusting relationship with our patients to better allow us to care for them. We want to work with your dog and listen to their boundaries, even if we don’t get every single test done on the first day.

Dog are often uncomfortable when coming to see us and that is easy to gage without overwhelming them initially! We just have to follow their cues.

Three basic strength training exercises for your dog at home! Try them out and let us know what you think 🤩

Paws up with weight shifting is an easy way to start engaging your dogs muscles.

Side steps are an equipment free way to engage the hips and shoulders. But it can be tiring so watch for signs your pup is fatiguing!

Backwards walking is a great way to engage the hamstrings and glutes which often get weak in senior pups. Also needs little to no equipment!

Your dog’s rehabilitation plan should be tailor specifically to their needs! No two dogs should have the exact same plan even if they have the same diagnosis. Of course they could have similar needs but all exercises should be focused on how your dog is presenting and progressing through their rehab journey.

Does my dog really need formal rehab after a TPLO?

YES! A surgical repair of their CCL is tough on their muscles and joint. Though they may feel so much better after surgery, they are still very weak and prone to compensations that will result in arthritis or a tear on the other side!
