Millie is a graduate! 🤩 This gentle girl came to Canine PT and Me to help with her CCL and her hip dysplasia. The plans we create are individually designed for each pups' needs and can be customized to fit multiple conditions. Millie puts in lots of hard work on the daily so her check-ins with us are pretty spread out but important to ensure she stays on track! We are so proud of her progress - put your paws all the way up for this pooch! 🐾

Happy Thanksgiving to all our pack! 🐾This holiday we are celebrating the human that makes Canine PT and Me possible: Dr. Kelsey Jonas. She has built this facility literally from the ground up, paving the way for pups and their recovery. Dr. Kelsey we are so thankful for you and all you do. Shout out as well to Quavo, who is our mascot, and all his hard work behind the scenes. In addition, an honorable mention for Kain, who was fired from his office position not long after starting due to his enthusiastic vocal presence in clinic. 😂

🤩 What day is it? Waggin' Wednesday. Let's hear from Bianca's mom about their time at Canine PT and Me:

We've got Herman graduating! 🤩 No pup is "too old" for physical therapy - in fact, these are the pups that need it the most. Herman just needed general mobility support, had some intermittent lameness/weakness, and his mom wanted to make sure as he's getting older he felt good. Keeping dogs active as they age in a safe way is the best way to ensure they can age gracefully in their bodies. Herman is a perfect example of the benefits of rehab for an old guy. So proud of all of his progress! ❤️

What do you know about arthritis? Arthritis is not a “normal” part of aging, but rather an inflammatory process of the joints and cartilage. 😳 By strengthening the areas around the arthritic joint, this can take the pressure off of the joint as well as create more stability. A certified canine therapist will target specific muscle groups to strengthen as well as address your dog’s flexibility and proprioception. Together, this will improve your dog’s functional mobility and help them to live a healthier, happier life without pain. 🐾

Quinn is graduated! 🥳 This girl had a rough start to her healing process but overall, she came out on top. After having a TPLO they chose to do rehab to help support her recovery. Doing physical therapy after this serious procedure made a significant impact on her quality of life after. She spent less time in discomfort and returned faster to doing all her favorite things. Her parents noted it was like getting their dog back, which is one of the best compliments. 😍 Way to go Quinn!

Beatrice is doing an excellent job with her Cavalettis exercise. 😎 She had a knee surgery and was having a hard time bearing weight on the surgical leg. This exercise is helping her learn to accept weight more evenly on her leg so that she doesn’t limp as much.⚖️

Yay - Fred has graduated! 🤩 This handsome dude came to Canine PT and Me because one of his growth plates closed to early which cased poor alignment in his front leg and his elbow. Surgery was the best way to improve alignment and rehab was a huge part of his recovery. We are very impressed with all his progress, way to go Fred! 🐾

Patients need braces for a variety of reasons! However, once we put the brace on the pup, they need to learn how to walk in it. Braces are not band-aids or quick fixes. Sometimes injuries when long lasting can teach the body to adapt to some bad habits. Making sure your pup is using/the fit is correct, is one of the many ways a canine physcial therapist can support your pup.😀

Meet Bron! This handsome fella comes to Canine PT and Me for bilateral CCL tears. He's not a candidate for surgery at this time but he's keeping up on his rehab to support his body until he's able! At home, he works daily to ensure he maintains his progress. Bron is such a happy friendly guy and it's always a treat to have him in the clinc. Paws all the way up for Bron! 🐾

This silly goose is making up his own exercise! However, this rocker board is still working on Bran’s core muscles. Bran was supposed to be standing perpendicular on the board to target the inner and outer thight muscles as well as his core. But, this is what ended up happening 🤪

My Story of Becoming a Canine Physical Therapist

Welcome to Canine PT and Me! This has been a dream of mine for over a year now. Let me explain a little bit more about how my business came to be. And, I will expand a bit on how I became a canine physical therapist.

I’m Dr. Kelsey Jonas, PT, DPT, CCRT. I started my career thinking that I wanted to be a sports physical therapist and I wanted to work with athletes for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I got burnt out from working with people within my first year of practicing physical therapy. Somewhere along the way in PT school, one of my classmates had mentioned in a passing comment. She said “hey, did you know that you can do physical therapy for dogs?!” That had always stuck in the back of my head and when I was feeling so incredibly burnt out, I remembered that comment. Therefore, that’s when I decided to do some research on dog physical therapy.

The transition to canine physical therapist

In 2019 I came across Canine Rehab Institute (CRI) in Florida and decided to change directions in my career. Subsequently, I took all of my coursework, completed my exams and internship to become a certified canine rehabilitation therapist (CCRT). Prior to completing my CRI coursework though, I was encouraged by my mentor to pursue my own business and become an entrepreneur. This idea had never occurred to me, nor was it remotely on my radar for my future. So, I decided to take additional courses on the side. This allowed me to build my own business and in December 2019, Canine PT and Me was established!
