Mobility aids, rehabilitation equipment, and support products for dogs and cats recovering from injury or illness.
Resources to support recovery after surgery, injury, or as part of managing a chronic mobility condition.
Rehabilitation plays a key role in helping pets recover strength and mobility after surgery, injury, or as part of managing chronic conditions like arthritis or IVDD. A certified canine rehabilitation therapist can design a program combining therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy, and supportive equipment.
Common Conditions That Benefit from Rehabilitation
- Post-surgical recovery (ACL/CCL repair, IVDD surgery, amputation)
- Arthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Neurological conditions affecting gait and coordination
- General deconditioning in senior pets
Types of Support Equipment
Support harnesses, slings, and lift aids help pets and their owners manage daily mobility safely, while structured exercise equipment like underwater treadmills is typically used within a clinical rehabilitation setting.

Find a SpecialistHow is pet rehabilitation different from acupuncture?
Rehabilitation focuses on therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and equipment-based support to restore strength and mobility, while acupuncture targets pain and nerve function; the two are often used together as part of a treatment plan.
How soon after surgery can rehabilitation start?
This depends on the procedure and your veterinarian's recommendation, but many rehabilitation programs begin within one to two weeks post-surgery under professional guidance.
Can I do rehabilitation exercises at home without a specialist?
Basic maintenance exercises can often be done at home once a program has been designed by a certified rehabilitation therapist, but the initial assessment and plan should come from a professional.
