Clinic Hours:

We are Durham’s only clinic solely dedicated to companion animal rehabilitation. We have practitioners who are certified in companion animal rehabilitation on staff, and our veterinarian is trained in acupuncture.

At Animal Rehabilitation Clinic, our mission is to help your pet achieve their best condition and highest quality of life in a safe environment. We strive to involve you every step of the way. Individualized treatment plans are developed based on your pet's limitations, incorporating clinic and home-based treatments. The staff at Animal Rehabilitation Clinic value every client and enjoy sharing in each pet's accomplishments.

Services:

We will develop a specific plan for your pet with appropriate progression based on your surgeon’s recommendations and your pet’s response to rehabilitation. Each surgical procedure has specific precautions and therefore we don’t treat each pet the same. We will also educate you in what you can do for your pet at home, and make sure you have time to practice this in the clinic. We may also have pain medicine, supplement and nutrition recommendations.

We will evaluate your pet’s functional limitations and develop a specific plan for treatments incorporating pain control and home exercises. Pain control methods can include medication, massage, ice and acupuncture. We will progress the program based on how your pet responds and make sure you have time in the clinic to practice your home exercises. We may also have supplement and nutrition recommendations.

We will evaluate your pet’s functional limitations and develop a specific plan for treatments in the clinic. Your pet may have had surgery or perhaps the neurologist did not recommend surgery, but either way, we will progress your pet safely based on their progress. Depending on the severity of your pet’s impairments, we may recommend that they board at our clinic for more intensive, daily rehabilitation. Some pets come to us unable to walk or move any of their legs, while others have their rear legs affected but can support themselves with their front legs. Your pet may need some adaptive equipment to walk, such as a cart. This can be a short or long term solution depending on their needs.
