Sometimes, we can help you avoid putting your pet through surgery. However, each animal is unique, so we will evaluate your pet and his condition, and offer options to help you make the best, most informed decision. We will help you determine whether surgery is the best option or if realistically there are other alternatives.
In general, we can help pets who are suffering from:
- Soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains
- Post-surgical recovery (e.g., cruciate repairs, hip surgery, fracture repairs, back surgery); click here for more
- Neurologic conditions such as bulging discs, degenerative myelopathy, and vestibular disease; click here for more
- Ailments commonly associated with aging (e.g. loss of conditioning, arthritis, hip dysplasia)
- Arthritis or dysplasia
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Limping, gait abnormalities or a change in quality of movement
- Reluctance to go on walks, play with other pets, or jump on the bed or sofa
- Changes in appetite or behavior that suggest discomfort
- Changes in posture during daily activities
- Obesity or general health concerns
More specifically, our expertise includes, but is not limited to, helping pets who have been diagnosed with the following conditions:

We are also able to work with pets, post-surgery, to help them recover more fully and quickly. Studies have shown that surgery patients who undergo rehab recover faster and achieve a more complete recovery than those who do not.
Ideally, we would like to see your pet as soon as three days post-surgery to ensure the best outcome.
