What Is Canine Rehabilitation?

Think of it as physical therapy for pets. Canine rehabilitation uses a combination of hands-on therapies, therapeutic technology, and individualized exercise programs to rebuild muscle, relieve discomfort, and restore function. The goal? Less pain, better movement, and a happier, healthier life for your pet.
In 2009, Dr. Greg Emmert became the first veterinarian in Oklahoma to earn certification as a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP) through the University of Tennessee. That means your pet will be treated by a trusted expert with advanced training in animal rehabilitation techniques.
Every rehabilitation journey begins with a full physical exam and a conversation about your pet’s condition, lifestyle, and goals. From there, we’ll design a customized treatment plan that works for both your dog and your family.

Water is one of our most powerful tools. The underwater treadmill allows your pet to walk or jog with reduced weight-bearing, which minimizes stress on joints and tissues. It’s a safe, low-impact workout that improves endurance, promotes healing, builds strength, and increases range of motion. Bonus: Most dogs love it.
