Caring for a pet that’s recovering from an injury, suffering from arthritis, or attempting to lose weight can be challenging and stressful.

We understand how much your four-legged family member means to you, which is why we’re pleased to offer pet rehabilitation and orthopedic services to our patients.

With our rehabilitation services, we hope to improve the functionality and quality of life for many patients suffering from these debilitating conditions.

Our Pet Rehabilitation Services 

To provide our patients with the most complete care possible, we offer a broad range of pet rehabilitation services. These include:

Pet Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure in which the joint, particularly the stifle, is examined using an arthroscope that’s inserted through a small incision. This gives your veterinarian the ability to check for damage and accurately diagnose your pet’s problem—whether it be a joint disorder, a torn ACL, a torn meniscus, arthritis, etc. Once a diagnosis has been made, we can proceed with the appropriate treatments. In some cases, arthroscopic surgery may be necessary to correct the issue.
