We work with all kinds of sporting and working dogs. Today I went to the Woodlands to watch our patient Hope read with the children at the Woodlands library. Different from some of the common jobs we think of but the kids loved it and its a great job for a senior dog with an artificial leg. Permission to post from child's parent.

Who doesn't love a great story?? Well meet Astro. Astro is 1 of 3 dogs we are currently seeing with DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). He was diagnosed in late March of 2022 and started rehab in April of 2022. Shortly after starting rehab, his mom and dad found out they were expecting their first child. Now- Astro is his Dad's first dog. He was Dad's college roomate and best friend. So Dad's goal was for his first dog to meet his first child. With DM- from onset of symptoms (not diagnosis) -life expectancy averages 1-2 years with active rehab. Well Astro met his baby brother in February of 2023 and is still living his best life. There is no way to know how each DM patient will progress. But THESE are the stories that rehab is so excited and thankful to be a part of. Great job Astro! See you tomorrow for our weekly jog :)

We love Scout and his family and are happy to be a part of his story. Rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of managing degenerative myelopathy.

From great hardship in Mexico all the way to the governor’s mansion in Texas, Scout the dog has had quite the journey.

More dogs run away on the 4th of July than any other day. This also means more dogs are hit by cars. Please leave your furbaby at home if you are going to watch or shoot fireworks tonight.

07/02/2023

If your furbaby has anxiety for the fireworks or storms, in addition to medication, a safe space may also be a good idea. Emily retreats to her tent when things get overstimulating.

Just look at that cute post workout face. Astro loves to run almost as much as he loves his dad

Thank you to my coworkers and my clients for nominating me for this extremely overwhelming award. Providing quality and compassionate care for the rehab patients and their families is the heart of rehab.

06/12/2023

Newcastle LOVES conditioning in the water but hates the water to leave. There's always a little time to have fun after working.

06/10/2023

Now is the time to make sure you have plenty of medication if your pet has firework anxiety.
