Canine Rehabilitation Therapy: Supporting Recovery and Mobility
With a focus on rehabilitative care, we’ve developed a robust and comprehensive canine therapy program that delivers exceptional results.
Our goal is to help your dog recover, regain mobility, and live comfortably by offering a combination of cutting-edge therapies and individualized treatment plans. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or dealing with mobility issues, our highly-skilled veterinary team is here to support them every step of the way.
Canine Rehabilitation the Pet Dominion Way
Did you know rehabilitation plays a vital role in improving your dog’s life, especially as they age or recover from surgery? At our state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility in Rockville, MD, we offer a range of custom-tailored therapeutic services designed to address specific needs and provide a faster, more complete recovery.
Our Rehabilitation Services Include:
Underwater Treadmill Therapy (UWTM):
This advanced therapy uses water to support your dog’s joints while providing a safe, low-impact workout that helps build strength and improve mobility.
Laser Therapy:
This non-invasive treatment promotes healing by stimulating cellular activity. Laser therapy enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and releases endorphins, helping to relieve pain and improve your dog’s overall comfort.
Therapeutic Ultrasound:
Ideal for chronic conditions and muscle injuries, ultrasound therapy targets deep tissues to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing. It can also help loosen scar tissue to increase range of motion, allowing your dog to move more freely.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES):
This therapy uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions in dogs with severe muscle weakness or atrophy, aiding in muscle strengthening and recovery.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS):
A therapy that alleviates deep tissue pain by stimulating endorphins and blocking pain signals. TENS can significantly reduce discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
Physical Canine Therapy:
Our skilled therapists work closely with you and your dog to create a custom therapy plan that is suited to their condition and needs. We use techniques such as massage, therapeutic exercises, and joint mobilization to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Comprehensive Care
At Pet Dominion, we begin each rehabilitation journey with a detailed evaluation that includes gait analysis, thermal imaging, and measurements to assess your dog’s condition. Our veterinary team will then design a personalized care plan and closely monitor your pet's progress, making adjustments as needed.
Our rehabilitation services are designed to work alongside other treatments such as surgery, acupuncture, or orthopedic care. This holistic approach ensures your dog receives the best care possible to support their recovery and improve their quality of life.
Enhancing Your Dog’s Life
Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply in need of support to maintain their mobility, Pet Dominion’s rehabilitation therapy can make a profound difference.
