Our Services
We are proud to offer a wide range of services to our clients, including:
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a well-tolerated therapy that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other physiotherapy modalities to treat impaired mobility and pain control issues. Our licensed veterinarian, Dr. Rose Alkoff, has completed comprehensive training and examination in veterinary acupuncture and is a member of the Association of British Veterinary Acupuncturists.
- Hydrotherapy: Our canine underwater treadmill provides a weight-reduced environment for exercise and rehabilitation. This therapy is an excellent way to improve mobility, strength, and cardiovascular health in a low-impact setting.
- Laser Therapy: Low level laser therapy uses safe and reliable light modalities to provide pain relief, muscle spasm relief, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation and nerve function. Our team is experienced in using laser therapy to treat a wide range of conditions.
- Physical Therapy: Our physical therapy services include manual therapies, stretches, exercises, and more. Our goal is to help animals improve their mobility, strength, and overall well-being through tailored treatment plans.
- Telehealth: We offer telehealth consultations for clients who are unable to visit our clinic in person. This allows us to continue providing care and support to our clients from a distance.
