A Gait Analysis is one of the tools used to evaluate and measure improvement in our patients.
Pattie was walked over the sensor to record information about the way she uses her limbs. This information is just another way for our doctors to thoroughly evaluate her case.

Goose came to see Dr. Smallwood about hind-end stiffness. He left with some low-impact exercises to help support him as he grows.

For Kobe, the sit to stand exercise is a great way to warm up the muscles and strengthen the hind end. Peanut butter not mandatory, but Kobe might disagree!

This wonderful girl is Nova. A treatment plan of rehab, laser therapy, and pulsewave treatments help to keep her comfortable in spite of arthritis and IVDD.

Niko likes to make sure the rehab tech is paying close attention! 😆Cavaletti walking is a conditioning exercise that improves overall balance and proprioception, while strengthening limbs and core muscles. #dogphysicaltherapy #dogsoftiktok #dogsofdfw #caninerehab #veterinaryrehabilitation #veterinaryhumor
IVDD won’t slow Jett down! Regular rehab and laser keep him strutting his stuff! #dogphysicaltherapy #caninepainmanagement #caninerehabilitation #dogsofdfw #veterinaryrehabilitation #dachshundappreciation
Push-ups are part of Gibbs’ exercise plan to strengthen his front limbs and shoulder muscles. Using the peanut activates his core muscles at the same time. Nice work, Gibbs! #dogphysicaltherapy #vetmed #caninerehabilitation #dogsofdfw #veterinaryrehabilitation #dobermandogs
“I have a pool, why does my dog need to go in the underwater treadmill?”
While swimming can be good exercise for some dogs, it doesn’t offer the same benefits.
In the underwater treadmill, the water offers support by taking pressure off of joints and/or injuries, while allowing for full range of motion. It’s a more controlled form of exercise that allows us to adjust speed, resistance, and the amount of strain on injuries.

If you thought you smelled burning rubber, it was just Spinner leaving his appointment 😎 #dogsonwheels #vetmed #dogsofinstagram #dogsofdfw
Maybe you remember Bear; he was a little nervous his first day. He’s been putting in the work and we are so proud of him!

April is National Canine Fitness Month!
👉🏻Regular physical exercise is important for the longevity and quality of your dog’s life, and gives their mental health a boost at the same time!
👉🏻Maintaining a healthy weight can lower the risk of arthritis, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, heart failure, and cancer.
👉🏻It’s a great way to bond with your pet, and you’ll enjoy the benefits too!
If you have any questions about keeping your dog moving or reaching a healthy weight, give us a call to schedule an appointment!
