Towel time is a fan favorite here at ATC! Ranger is loving being pampered by Ash and Leanne after a hydrotherapy session in one of our underwater treadmills. Nothing beats getting dried off after a workout!

11/05/2024

Leanne, Ash and Clover say safety first! During our cold laser therapy treatments, it’s important for not only us to wear safety goggles, but the patient as well. Laser safety goggles protect our eyes by blocking a specific, potentially harmful wavelength of light that is emitted from the laser machine. We have a variety of sizes here at the Animal Therapy Center to ensure a proper, snug fit!

Today, we’re starting with our staff pets!
Meet Jaime’s cat, Nandor the Relentless, the merc with a meow. He's rocking his Deadpool costume, ready to pounce on any villain…or maybe just a stray piece of kibble. Cuddly, deadly, and definitely plotting something, he's here to bring the perfect mix of chaos and cuteness to your day!

Last but not least, meet Jaime, our senior therapist!

If you've visited the Animal Therapy Center over the past 9 years, you’ve probably had the pleasure of meeting Jaime! She’s been an essential part of the team since 2015, bringing warmth and expert care to every pet she treats. After becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician in 2011, Jaime went on to earn her CCRP from the University of Tennessee and also holds certifications in k-taping, myofascial techniques, and pain management. She also serves on the Animal Science Occupational Advisory Board for Lehigh Career & Technical institute, ensuring the next generation of veterinary professionals have the best training possible

Beyond her skills, Jaime keeps things fun! She’s our resident Halloween pumpkin carving expert, the center’s beloved cat whisperer, and always knows how to lighten the mood. She also leads as our manager, keeping everything running smoothly with dedication and heart. She lives with her cats Nandor the Relentless and Maeby that love to keep her on her toes.

Thank you for everything, Jaime! Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week to all the vet techs out out there!

Today we highlight another one of our awesome CVT’s! Meet Matt!
Matt earned his Bachelor of Arts from West Virginia University in 1999. After returning to his hometown of Quakertown, PA, he balanced his roles as a substitute teacher in the Palisades School District and a veterinary nurse. His journey into animal rehabilitation truly began when his family pet, Webster the Boston Terrier, experienced a spinal stroke and became paralyzed in his hind end. Helping Webster recover was a transformative experience that sparked Matt's passion for this field.

In 2003, he enhanced his skills by completing a canine rehabilitation course through the University of Tennessee/Northeast Seminars, and he’s been a dedicated rehab nurse ever since. In 2022, he joined the Animal Therapy Center, where he loves helping patients regain their strength and mobility.

When he's not working his magic with animals, Matt enjoys quality time with his wife, Vanessa, their daughter Laylonny, and their spirited Brittany, Elmwood. The family thrives on outdoor adventures, whether hiking, camping, rock hounding, or enjoying music together.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Matt!

Please join us in welcoming Leanne to the Animal Therapy Center!

We are thrilled to introduce Leanne as the newest addition to our team! She brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for animal care, having graduated from East Stroudsburg University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Environmental Studies, focusing on teaching. Leanne further honed her expertise at the Vet Tech Institute of Pittsburgh, earning her CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician) in 2019.

Leanne's love for animals has been a driving force throughout her life, and we’re excited to see her bring that passion to our center. When she’s not caring for your furry friends, you can find her spending time with her golden retriever, Teagan, or enjoying hobbies like reading, writing, fitness, and even Historical European Fencing!

We’re excited to have her on board and can’t wait for you all to meet her!

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.

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?!

🐾 Monday Motivation 🐾 (Featuring Bailey swimming like a pro!)

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 ☺️
