Hydrotherapy in an underwater treadmill (UWTM) provides cardiovascular conditioning and therapeutic benefits. Performed in a safe environment, the UWTM utilizes the natural properties of water: buoyancy, stability, and hydrostatic pressure.

Exercising in water can help soothe your pet’s aches and improve their motility, flexibility, and strength. This aids in a speedier recovery from surgery or injuries and helps your pet experience a better quality of life and well-being.

To find out if UWTM can benefit your pet, give us a call at 515-575-9655.🐾

Is your dog limping? Delaying a visit to the veterinarian is never a good idea if your pet is limping. Prompt medical care may prevent the condition from worsening and relieve your furry friend's pain.

Before your veterinarian can offer any treatment, he or she needs to determine why your pet is lame. Your dog, cat, or small animal will receive a thorough examination that may include X-rays, bloodwork, or other lab tests. Lameness has many possible causes, and treatment varies for each one.

If your pet is having troubles walking, call our office right away at 515-575-9655 to schedule an appointment.

Arthritis takes a toll on your pet's joints, making walking, jumping and other everyday activities much more difficult. Learning about arthritis symptoms and treatments can help you ensure that you're doing everything possible to ease your pet's pain.

Osteoarthritis happens when the protective cartilage at the ends of the bones in a joint wears away. Pets with arthritis often become less active due to joint pain and stiffness.

Although cartilage can't be regrown once it wears away, your pet's veterinarian can offer a few treatments and suggestions that may help reduce pain and stiffness.

Are you concerned that your pet may have arthritis? We can offer treatments that will ease your pet's pain and improve its mobility. Get in touch with our office to schedule an appointment at 515-575-9655.

Maintaining a healthy weight in cats:

Overweight or obese cats are at risk for a variety of health problems. Gaining even a few pounds could increase your pet's chances of developing conditions ranging from arthritis to heart disease and diabetes. Following these tips will help your furry friend maintain a healthy weight.

Start with a Visit to the Veterinarian. Your pet's veterinarian will check your pet for diseases or conditions that could make your pet too thin or too heavy.

Read the Labels on Cat Food – Reading age recommendations on pet food labels will help you ensure that the food is the best choice for your pet.

Make Portion Control a Priority – Check the feeding recommendations on the back of the box or can to determine the right amount for your cat.

Schedule Kitty Playtime – Take advantage of your pet's natural drives with games and activities that involve chasing an object.

Are you concerned about your pet's weight? Contact your veterinarian to schedule a visit for your furry friend.
