Adoptable Willa says :
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Willa is an 8 month old cattle dog puppy recovering from fracture in her right forelimb. She is doing amazing throughout her therapy (it doesn’t hurt that she gets showered with treats!) She is incredibly smart and is turning into one sweet and sassy girl. Willa is currently up for adoption through Outcast Rescue!

🐾 Interesting research coming out for degenerative myelopathy!
New treatments are needed for degenerative myelopathy – a degenerative neurologic disease that strikes middle-aged to older dogs. Riluzole, a drug used to slow progression in the similar human disease ALS, is being studied at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri to evaluate its efficacy in treating dogs. Read more about this groundbreaking study at https://bit.ly/43yKtLW.
We are so fortunate to have both Jaime and Matt on our team! Having vet techs provide therapy for your loved ones ensures they are getting an amazing depth of care with detailed information shared within the medical team. They make it look easy but they are paying attention to so much about your pets during their appointments. Give them some extra appreciation this week!
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of chronic pain in older pets. It is estimated that 20% of adult dogs suffer from OA pain, with that number jumping to 75% in medium and large sized dogs. Signs of OA can include difficulty getting up and down, difficulty with stairs, and tiring more quickly during walks. If you've noticed any of these signs in your pet, give our clinic a call at 610-865-4348 to schedule an exam with our rehabilitation-certified veterinarian to help diagnose the issue and come up with the best treatment plan!
At the Animal Therapy Center, we have taken pride in delivering top notch veterinary services and building strong relationships with you and your four (or three!) legged family members.
We would like to inform you about necessary changes to continue offering the quality of care you've come to expect from us. In recent times, our operating costs have increased significantly. These cost increases are driven by several factors, including rising expenses for medical supplies, equipment maintenance and other essential aspects of our practice.
One of our core commitments is to ensure that our talented & compassionate staff members are compensated fairly. We believe in providing them with a livable wage commensurate with their dedication and expertise. This is vital to retaining and attracting the best professionals in the field, who contribute to the wellbeing of your pets.
To maintain our exceptional level of care, we have made the difficult decision to adjust our pricing. Effective October 2023, you will notice an increase in some fees.
We understand that changes in pricing can be concerning, and we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. Our primary goal remains to deliver the highest standard of care for your pets. We remain committed to to transparent communication & encourage you to reach out to us if you have any questions/concerns regarding these changes.
Your loyalty and the wellbeing of your pets mean the world to us. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.
Happy belated Birthday to little Ms. Molly Grace! Can you believe this little lady is 11 years old?? She’s been a patient here at the ATC since 2014 and still comes weekly for hydrotherapy to keep her strong! Keep up the great work Molly Grace!

Check out Ms. Grace enjoying our clean, warm pool! 💧Just like the underwater treadmill, it uses warmth, buoyancy and resistance of water in a controlled environment. It’s low impact and can enhance cardiovascular fitness 💪🏻 Swimming isn’t always appropriate, and can put extra torque on the spine, so we have to be careful what patients we put in the pool. Our doctor can let you know whether underwater treadmill (we have 2!) or swimming would be beneficial for your pet. We do have lots of great swimmers for fun and fitness!
Cold weather is coming! Have you made plans to keep your dog fit and active? Dogs that are only 20% overweight are 5x as likely to suffer from arthritis or other mobility challenges 🤯 Don’t let the pounds pack on this winter. Give us a call to set up a comprehensive evaluation with our veterinarian, who can design a nutrition and exercise plan appropriate for your loved one 🐾💙 610-865-4348

🌟 FEATURE FRIDAY 🌟 In today’s spotlight is Heather 🐶 Heather came to us after having TPLO surgery back in December. Her first 6 weeks of therapy consisted of laser treatment and hydrotherapy. After having her medical progress exam with our veterinarian, she was able to switch to land based exercises for the last 6 weeks and just graduated last weekend 🥲 We will miss this fun spunky girl, but we are all proud of the progress she has made the past 12 weeks with us! Good luck on your future endeavors Heather! Want your pet to be featured in one of our 🌟Feature Fridays🌟 comment down below or send us a dm 🐾
In today’s spotlight is Monster! He has been walking the underwater treadmill since October to help with his arthritis. With this treatment plan he has been able to become more mobile at home and feel more comfortable 🐶 Keep up the great work Monster!
🌟Winston’s Story🌟 Winston’s journey started at the Animal Therapy Center towards the end of last summer. Both him and his brother Ernie were diagnosed DM. Both him and Ernie come consistently for walking in the underwater treadmill and acupuncture! Even with therapy, Winston is slowly digressing, which is why he came in today to get fitted to his #walkinwheels cart ☺️ We are all so happy Winston can use his “motorcycle” to keep up with his brother and mom on their daily adventures! We love seeing our patients look so happy, and it is one of the many reasons why we love doing what we do ❤️ #physicaltherapy #caninerehabilitation #walkinwheelswheelchair #dogsofinstagram
In today’s spotlight is Murphy! Today was his last official session 😢 This boy has progressed really well the past 12 weeks of therapy, moving up to 2mph in the treadmill 💪🏼 and was able to graduate out of our program 🎓 Murphy came to us after having an ACL repair on his right knee. His therapy plan consisted of laser therapy and hydrotherapy twice weekly. Good luck on your future endeavors Murphy! • Want your pet to be featured in one of our posts?!

As we head into the New Year, We want to reminisce on what 2021 had to offer! This past year has been a challenge and we are so proud that we are still able to continue to help many pets strive to get better 💪🏼 We’ve helped many pets get stronger after surgery or to medically manage an injury. We’ve helped our geriatric patients feel better and challenged those who need to stay fit! We’ve celebrated birthdays & graduations. And we shared in the grief of those who’ve passed ❤️ We’ve met many new faces this year and appreciate those who’ve been with us for years! We are proud to be a part of your pet’s journey ☺️
🌟 UPDATED BUSINESS HOURS 🌟 Starting January 1st, 2022 We will be offering extended hours 🥳 Our Doctor and Therapists will be staying till 7:30PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our January Schedule is now open to book your appointments!
