First, let me preface that it's hard to place a rating, since the reason why I've chosen not to go…read moreto TB 9 Rehab started as a new patient inquiry. I've got a 12 yr old corgi-golden, she's arthritic, and has been in a program in Chicago for about a year. Underwater treadmill, laser, therapeutic exercise/massage and acupuncture. It's been hard as she slows down to keep her muscles strong, and her weight in control. Thru her Chicago program, she's made incredible progress, her energy jumped, her weight dropped to near target, and I feel like she's turned back the clock by at least a year. So, I was delighted to find a place in St Pete where we could keep her program going, keep her muscles strong, and weight under control. Everything was fine until I asked if I'm allowed in the back with her, as she's been used to that for the past year. Her program has been a family endeavor, I learn how to help her with 'homework', even bought her some of the equipment for stretches/exercise at home, so that she can work out at home between visits. I joke about it but it's true - I know more about her health and care than about my own, and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm stretching every possible amount of time, and quality of life with her that I can. I was told an emphatic no, that Dr. Brown believes that having owners in the back while the pet is on UT, exercise, etc 'creates a distraction', and you have to drop them off for an hour, or wait in the lobby. No further discussion or consideration. I've been giving it a lot of thought since I called earlier this week, and I just cannot partner on a program without being able to be a part of her program. All the conversations I've had with the Chicago rehab vets/techs, all the things we saw and adjusted during her program...I can't imagine shifting to a drop off/pick up, or wait in the lobby style. Since that approach may work for some folks, I've given a "3" rating.

I was beyond upset and 5 weeks post op, he still could not walk.I brought him to Tampa Bay K-9 rehab and Dr. Brown examined him and let me know right away that he shouldn't get a cart as that would only hinder his progress. I took him in 3 days a week for the first month, and after his first session he was able to lever himself up on one leg ( then quickly fell over ) but still it was miraculous! He is now up and walking and running great, albeit wobbly, he can get around fine. I am so grateful to the whole team. I continue to take him in once a week to maintain his muscles. I recommend!

Our 7 year old dog has had anxiety and some pain issues related to being highly active as a working farm dog. 1 Reki massage session with Jill is all it took and we saw an amazing difference in her anxiety and demeanor. So much so we booked another session . Highly recommend, and Jill's pricing is very reasonable. Thank you Jill for helping Oni feel so much better! We will see you again soon!

My 10+ year old dog Finnegan, a large Great Pyrenees mix, had lateral suture surgery on both of his…read morehind legs on the same day to stabilize his knees. The trauma was further multiplied when the callous on his elbow burst, and next when he became lethargic and we found out that the NSAIDs may have caused possible liver and kidney issues. He also was emotionally out of sorts and would not venture out in his beloved back yard where he had once ruled the roost. The cascading health events caused a delay in the mobility therapy I had planned for him. I felt overwhelmed until I found Jill at Paws and Tails Reiki & Therapeutic Massage. After clearing with the surgeon, I bought a package of Reiki and massage. I can honestly say it has not only helped Finn with mobility, stress, and healing, but it has helped me too so that I can be armed with knowledge, healing homework, and tools to manage both of our stress levels brought about by the traumatic health issues. Jill's kindness mixed with professional experience has helped both Finn and I cope with this trying experience. Thank you so much Jill for all your help so far. I really especially enjoy watching you work your magic during massage and loosening up that facia! The pro tips are golden and much appreciated including "inch worms" head to tail, support knee and hock while working on PT's prescribed range of motion exercises while being careful never to dig into the groin, flexing foot exercises, healing hands when in proper frame of mind and doing the all-important light work, meditation, that is part of Reiki, etc. Thank you for your patience, wisdom, tutorial/instructions using charts, diagrams, 3d skeleton, all conveyed with both big words and in layman's terms. It is all very much appreciated and we are looking forward to our next session! You are an absolute gem! So glad we found you!

A professional massage and an elk antler reward afterward... life is good!

We have been here before with our Staffordshire Terrier that had a spinal issue. Somehow over the…read moreweekend he hurt himself and we took him to an ER vet and they determined he had some sort of spinal issue. He cannot move his hind quarters, as he is paralyzed. We were trying to book an appointment with FVR and they dragged their feet for two days because they are busy. I get that, however, they did book an appointment out for two weeks. They also sent an invoice to be paid for that appointment. So I called back and spoke to Jennnifer Brown, the head vet. The website expresses such compassion for animals and my request to see the vet for 10 minutes at the end of the day was scoffed at. We are trying to see if anything can be done with spinal adjustments or does he need to be euthanized. I understand that you have to draw the line somewhere, but the dog is paralyzed. I get that workers have to go home at some point, but after dragging things out for two days with no other help in the matter. Take the image of passion out of FVR's website and just be honest.....FVR is there for the cash and they will grab it any way they can. Could you imagine going to the hospital after a car injury and the attendant on call says.....oops..quitting time.
