He was diagnosed with Stage IV cervical IVDD and had surgery in late September. He had a super complicated post op course including neck spasms, chronic UTIs, widespread muscle wasting, and chronic constipation. He was literally wasting away in front of us.

Five months with IPC and he's back to his pre-op weight and walking around the neighborhood like nothing ever happened. Dr. Martin and the team at IPC did an amazing job and really have gone above and beyond in saving my little buddy. The staff there are great, I wish I could name them all here.

The dog is lowered into the pool on a lift so there is never any stress on their joints getting in or out of the pool. Randy and staff are always amazing with my dog. When I got a new puppy I started doing the swim therapy for him (he does not have any diagnosed ortho issues). I think it's great exercise for this quick growing puppy that's easy on his joints (5 months and 70lbs!) and he really enjoys it! I'm glad that there is a place like this...it's well run (sessions are 30 mins and on time) and everyone here truly loves what they do!

She had a booth set up at our event and we have been taking dogs there every week now for massages. She has also come to our adoption center and given classes on dog massages. She is wonderful with our dogs who run a gamut of calm to really stressed. It is not a surprise that dogs in a shelter are stressed from the moment they combine. Katie has given us a much needed resource to relieve this stress. The dogs come back much calmer and she gives us much needed information on muscle tightness and anxiety points. Volunteers are very impressed with the work she does for our animals and they are much better and more adoptable because of her skills. Ruth Quoss Canine Medical Director CARE

Public Warning / Review…read more On October 23, 2023, my service dog Journey (then 13 months old) was mistreated and placed in danger at Canine Physical Rehab during a swim appointment. Journey had never worked with Becca before (who is now the current owner). Upon meeting him for the first time, she unhooked his leash in the lobby without my permission or following any of the usual safety protocols. Multiple safety gates and doors to the pool area were left open, and Journey--like most Goldens with a strong water drive--ran straight into the pool unsupervised. At that moment: * He was still wearing an electronic collar, putting him at risk. * No staff were in the pool room to ensure his safety. * He dove in unsupervised, which could have caused serious injury or drowning. Once in the pool, Becca ignored my repeated warnings that Journey required a toy in his mouth to prevent him from swallowing water (as his prior instructors had always done). Instead, she insisted he was "not swimming correctly" and began physically throwing him toward the pool stairs and table to force him into positions. Afterward, she told me Journey would be "punished" for running into the pool by being required to stand on equipment and watch the water instead of swimming for half his session--completely inappropriate and cruel. The results of this session: * Journey consumed so much water that he vomited repeatedly for over an hour afterward. * Our vet was concerned about possible dry drowning due to the excessive water intake. * The violent handling left him traumatized--and it traumatized us as his family to witness. When I voiced these concerns, the business dismissed them. Since then, they have also blocked me on all social media, preventing me from commenting and sharing what happened, which feels like an attempt to hide the truth. With Becca now the owner, I strongly warn other pet parents: this is not a safe place to bring your dog. Journey is a certified service and therapy dog, trained and experienced, yet he was still put at risk here. If this could happen to him, it could happen to anyone's dog. Your pet's safety and well-being are too important to risk.

I found the place through a friend whose dogs overcame skin and stomach problems after switching to Puptection's raw diet. I picked up some beef mix, and some dehydrated veggies/fruit. In a very short time, my little guy has more energy, his ear infection is gone, his coat is amazing, and he actually poops less, because there's no kibble waste to expel. I couldn't be happier. They take time to make you feel welcome when you come in to the store. They walk you through the contents of the food, the benefits, feeding instructions, everything. They're also more than willing to take your phone calls and help you out with whatever questions you might have. A-plus. Love this place.

The reviews don't lie! I'll be scheduling my other kitty at this office from here on out too. I finally feel like the staff loves my pet as much as I do as they gave him exceptional care and attention. For an extreme shy boy, he loved the staff just as much as I did lol
