Help Your Dog Recover
Post-surgery recovery and arthritis management — a structured program that walks the path with you, every step.
Did your dog just have orthopedic surgery? Is arthritis slowing them down? Call us to schedule a rehabilitation appointment — same-day sessions or full-day programs, whatever your pup needs.
Dogs heal differently than people. They don't understand their injury, so they push through pain when they shouldn't. Our rehabilitation program guides them through a safe recovery at the right pace.
Our veterinarians built this program so your dog gets the chance to make a full recovery — not just get by. We walk the path with you and your pup, every step.
Post-surgery? Wait until sutures or staples are removed and the two-week confinement window is complete before starting. Arthritis? Come in for a vet visit first — we'll build a plan tailored to your dog's condition.
This is a structured, weekly program. One session a week is a solid start. We'll show you exactly what to do.
A Program Built for Real Recovery
SESSION COMPONENTS — MOUNTAIN RIVER VETERINARY HOSPITAL
- Underwater treadmill (hydrotherapy) for low-impact joint movement
- Therapeutic massage to reduce muscle guarding and improve circulation
- Passive range-of-motion exercises guided by our veterinary team
- Balance and proprioception training for neurological cases
- Laser therapy to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation
- Electrical stimulation for muscle re-education after orthopedic surgery
- Custom home-exercise plan so recovery continues between sessions
Not every session includes every modality — your dog's rehabilitation plan is built around their specific diagnosis, age, and recovery stage. Our team walks you through the protocol at your first appointment.
