“
I was super nervous when my cat had to go under anesthesia for a tooth extraction. But Dr. K and the techs did an excellent job, and my little girl is back to 100%. The entire office has been wonderful, answering any questions I have. Definitely recommend.

“
Just a cute place! Was sent to Main Street when Broadway had to reschedule and it was a great experience. The techs and vets were kind and helpful, there was even a fish tank in the exam room that entertained the kitten while we waited for less than 10 minutes. Would return or recommend to others!

What Makes Pathways Animal Hospital the Right Choice for Rehabilitation?

Underwater Treadmill Therapy – Warm water supports your pet’s body weight while they walk, making movement possible even when land exercise is too painful. Ideal for post-surgical recovery, arthritis, and neurological conditions.
Therapeutic Laser Therapy – Our Companion Laser Therapy delivers non-invasive, drug-free pain relief by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
Recreational Swim Sessions – Controlled swimming builds cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength without stressing joints or surgical sites. A natural, enjoyable therapy option for many dogs.
Physical Therapy Programs – Customized exercise and movement plans designed to restore function, rebuild strength, and prevent re-injury over the course of your pet’s recovery.

FAQs

What conditions can veterinary rehabilitation help with?

Rehabilitation therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions including post-surgical recovery (orthopedic or soft tissue), arthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, neurological conditions, obesity, and general age-related mobility decline.

How do I know if my pet needs rehabilitation therapy?

Signs your pet may benefit include limping, difficulty standing or climbing stairs, reluctance to exercise, stiffness after rest, or a recent surgery or injury. When in doubt, call us and we’ll help assess whether rehab is a good fit.

Can rehabilitation be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Rehabilitation works well alongside medications, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and traditional veterinary treatment. We’ll coordinate a plan that fits your pet’s full care picture.

How long does a rehabilitation program take?

It depends on the condition and your pet’s response. Some pets see improvement after just a few sessions; others benefit from ongoing maintenance therapy. We’ll set realistic expectations at your first visit.

Do you see cats for rehabilitation, not just dogs?

Yes. While many of our rehab patients are dogs, cats can benefit from laser therapy and other modalities as well.
