What is veterinary canine rehabilitation?
Just like humans, dogs and cats can benefit from a specific exercise program and other therapies that help decrease pain and improve fitness. The main goal of canine rehabilitation and feline rehabilitation is to restore, maintain, and maximize your pet’s strength, function, movement, and overall well-being.
