Do I Need A Referral From My Vet?
It is possible to schedule an appointment without a referral. Just understand that we are not a general practice and only offer these specialty services. We will request that you bring records or allow us to contact your veterinarian so we will have a full history of any other conditions or treatments your pet may be receiving.
What Does The Initial Consultation Include?
The initial consultation includes a full holistic or rehabilitation exam/consultation and first treatment as well as a treatment plan and expectations for therapy.
Can I Be Present During My Pet's Treatment(s)?
Acupuncture and chiropractic appointments frequently have clients present during exam and treatment. The rehabilitation evaluation is a good place for clients to be present. We do prefer that you drop off for treatments as most pets do better without the distraction of the owners present. Many pets also need a break between activities so it is not uncommon to start with the underwater treadmill then give them a break prior to additional exercises or treatments but each case is handled individually. We do like to demonstrate home exercises with our clients present. We also send pictures and videos of your pet doing the various exercises.
How Long Will My Pet's Rehabilitation Take?
Each patient is different depending on why they are undergoing rehabilitation therapy. Many are looking at 10-20 sessions but this will be discussed with you at the time of your pet’s initial evaluation and throughout the treatment program.
Do You Treat Only Dogs?
No! We treat both feline and canine patients. Cats generally respond well to a variety of rehabilitation modalities, including acupuncture and manual therapy.
What Are Your Hours?
We are open Monday-Thursday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm

Does My Pet Need To Be Sedated For Shockwave Therapy?
With piezowave vet most treatments are very well tolerated by small animals and do not require sedation. If the treatment requires high energy to stimulate bone healing and the patient is sensitive we may recommend a sedative.
