Veterinary Rehabilitation Services

🐾🎓 Happy Graduation to Archie and Maverick! 🎓🐾

* Archie came to see us 3.5 weeks post spinal surgery, he was already able to walk but needed to work on coordination and strengthening

* Maverick was referred following a delayed healing metatarsal fracture and ongoing hindlimb soreness. Assessment identified compensatory muscle tension, spinal discomfort and joint stiffness contributing to his lameness. Maverick is also a sporting dog! so it was important to get him back to doing what he loves.

Through a combination of laser therapy, massage and an individually tailored home exercise program they have managed to get back to all of their normal activities, with above average strength, and no pain or muscle tension.

Well done to Archie, Maverick and their families for all their hard work 🐾❤️

📣 OPEN DAY - we’ve grown up and moved out.

We’d like to invite our veterinary colleagues of Perth to join us in celebrating our new purpose-built location.

An email has been sent out with more details. Please let us know if you’d like to join us and haven’t received information.

If you are a client and would like a tour we are more than happy to show you around next time you’re in 🐾

📣 We’re excited to announce we are moving to our new home next week! 📣

Our rehab family has grown, and it’s time for a bigger, purpose-built space in a more central location to better support our patients and their humans. Same great care, just more room to heal, recover, and thrive.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks as we move in this long weekend! 🙌🏻
