Geriatric Conditions

Geriatric Conditions in Pets

As our pets age, they can begin to develop conditions that can interfere with their mobility and enjoyment of daily activities. This can lead to further muscle loss and weakness. The combination of pain, muscle loss and weakness lead to a downward spiral of the patient’s quality of life. Our goal is to keep your senior pet happy, comfortable and functional so that you can spend as much quality time with them as you can. We love our geriatric patients!

All sessions are by appointment only.
Call 417-860-2429 to schedule a session.

Rehab sessions generally last 45 minutes. During this time, we have the patient do a variety of activities as well as pain relieving techniques if needed. We prefer for the pet owner to NOT be in the room during the sessions as this is distracting to the pets in the gym. We need the pet to focus on us to get as much out of their session as possible!

We are happy to take pictures and videos so you can see what your pet is doing in therapy and monitor the progress.

If your schedule won't allow for a specific appointment time, we do offer day boarding for an additional fee. You can drop your pet off on your way to work and pick up later in the day.

Please be on time to take full advantage of your pets' scheduled session!
