Stages of surgical massage and rehab care.

Box 1. Prehab to get your pet ready for surgery with swelling reduction and whatever muscle building or maintenance we can safely do. Discuss ways to prepare your home for the upcoming post surgical needs.

Box 2. Surgery day and discharge day. Assess your pets immediate needs to address pain and swelling issues. Discuss how to safely manage your pets mobility, massage and other needs.

Box 3. Assess and plan the next 6-8 weeks of rehab to safely encourage your pets healing and safe use of the surgical limb.

Box 4. Plan an incrementally increasing exercise plan to safely return to your pets normal activity. Discuss what life changes may be best for ongoing maintenance.

Most people think that holding your hand out for a dog to smell is the right way to meet a dog, but here's a better way.

If money is holding you back, I am also willing to teach you just so you are comfortable to keep up with the maintenance of nice trimmed nails 😉

Beautiful morning for a wood walk, have a great weekend 🐶💕

It was such a pleasure working with Roscoe today. He got to try out the harness system and in my opinion did great for a first timer 💕 and after he still gave me kisses and wanted to sit in my lap.

People will ask about a dog that is extremely bad when it comes to nail trims. First I am a very patient person and will take all the time I need as long as you can be patient with me and I also have a doggie lift that works for many. The picture is of my Saint and just a picture from the product page. If you have questions about it feel free to ask.

Gonna be another hot one tomorrow! Watch your short-nosed pups!!

Especially when it’s so cold!

The ones who are healing.
The ones who have healed.
