Animal Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation Therapy Now Available Wednesday – Saturday!
At South Shores Animal Hospital, our mission is to provide modern and advanced care for all our patients in need of rehabilitation. Whether your companion needs a minor adjustment or intensive physical therapy, we are committed to their long-term health, mobility, and quality of life.
Our Animal Rehabilitation Facility
Recognizing the immense benefits of rehabilitation, Dr. Claus and his team decided to include Animal Rehabilitation as a core service during our recent renovations. This essential addition allows us to support not only our own patients but also pets referred from other hospitals. We are dedicated to helping your pet feel better and look forward to being a part of their recovery journey!
Our goal is to provide the highest quality care through individualized treatment plans tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Each session addresses your pet’s current issues and works towards the goals established during the initial evaluation. We assist pet owners with tools to make at-home life with a senior or injured pet easier. By working closely with your referring veterinarian and our in-house team, we ensure everyone involved in your pet’s care stays informed about their progress.
