A Loyal Companion

A Loyal Companion Mobility is LIFE! Movement—supported or not—allows a dog to participate in his world independently.

Every year, I talk to hundreds of dog owners who come to A Loyal Companion Mobility and Swim Center looking for help. Most of my clients have asked this same question in one form or another: “How can I help my dog continue to enjoy his life doing the things he loves without pain or discomfort for as long as his body and mind will allow?” I built A Loyal Companion Online Canine Mobility Resource Ce

nter to help you answer that question. My goal is to provide the information and support you need to give your dog the best life possible.

Meet Helen. Strong, steady, and full of heart.

Every hike, every climb, every new view reminds us what mobility makes possible confidence, connection, and the freedom to explore.

I have a lot to be thankful for today, especially these amazing women. Kim Deon and Katherine Mockler make ALC what it is. They each bring a special kind of magic to ALC. They make every dog and every human feel welcome, loved, and supported the second they walk through our doors. They make me want to come to work every day. Their camaraderie, joy, emotional intelligence, and grit help our little business make a difference in the community. Thank you both for all you do -- for the dogs AND for me.

Mobility support comes in many forms. Sometimes, it’s a set of wheels that restores freedom and confidence.

This dog is learning to move in a short Hollyhock cart, designed to provide balance and support while maintaining natural and pain-free movement.

Every adjustment, every session, is a step toward independence.

Strength and stability start with trust, one paw at a time.

This is where mobility work begins: controlled movement, balance challenges, and a confident dog learning how to use their body again.

Every session is progress, and every step builds a stronger foundation.

That smile says it all.
When movement gets harder, joy can fade, but with the right help, it comes right back.

Every mobility journey starts with hope, patience, and a wagging tail.

With the right support and encouragement, every dog can move, explore, and thrive in their own way.
