We can confirm, Dood is 💯 amazing and we’re proud to offer physical rehabilitation with many modalities to help our patients! If you’d like to know more about our Animalia Rehab services, feel free to call 615-595-7170 or visit animaliawellness.com!

I remember before there was physical rehab for our pets and as a rescue that focused on special needs and medical cases….we really needed it. At the time I relied heavily on one of our fosters who was human PT to give me ideas and guidance.
It’s been years now since Animalia Rehab became the first clinic to offer rehab services and we are so fortunate to have that available in our community. The benefits it can provide for seniors, obese animals, neuro cases, and ortho patients is priceless.
While orthopedic surgeries have been around for a very long time, we do find them to be more successful now that we have PT options. Dood had FHO surgery two weeks ago and today he had his first PT session…..which doesn’t look like much since he’s sleeping through it!! During the early sessions post op they get therapies such as light, laser, and/or shockwave and begin more intense stretches to work on range of motion. As they progress they will hit the underwater treadmill to start building back their strength. A typical PT plan for FHO recovery is an hour wach week for six weeks. Recovery is a long road, but rehab helps make sure it’s a positive one with the best outcome.
Also, Dood is amazing.

Some would call Dr. Miguel Cruz a Renaissance Man and we would have to agree! When this Doodle dad isn’t caring for our adorable patients, he can be found with a puppy in his arms, sketching whimsical designs, baking delicious food with his family, and creating beautiful abstract artwork. If you find yourself in town tonight, be sure to stop by the at the Factory and say hello to Dr. Cruz as he showcases his art!

A reminder that our Urgent Care team is available this Saturday, 8am-6pm!

Happy Halloween from your favorite Animalia Boo Crew! 👻

10/30/2025

It’s become one of our beloved holiday traditions to share everyone’s favorite golden duo and special part of our pack, Minnie Pearl and her little brother, Milo. This Halloween may look different, but Milo is proudly carrying the torch and stands tall in honor of his sister 💕

As leaves fall and seasons change, the Animalia family shared another precious and tearful goodbye to one of our own, our Resident Good Girl and golden companion. The farewells take their toll, but we cherish the great joy and responsibility of being their person, if only for a season of life. What a blessing it is to know the boundless love and devotion of an animal and best friend!

Milo has big shoes to fill, but he learned everything he knows from his sister and will carry on our tradition with pride. Thanks for making us smile and kicking off our Halloween costume contest in true golden fashion! Be sure to tag us this week with your pet’s best costume and our team will crown a winner on Saturday evening. The best dog or cat costume will win a goodie bag from our boutique! Happy Halloween y’all! 🎃
