CCAT Certified by NC State University

As one of the few Certified Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapists serving Kirkland, Redmond, and the Eastside, I specialize in helping senior pets regain strength, mobility, and comfort. My mobile practice means I see exactly how your pet moves in their real environment—navigating your specific stairs, floors, and furniture.

In-Home Physical Therapy for Dogs in Kirkland

Gentle exercises tailored to your dog's specific needs. Whether it's arthritis, IVDD hip dysplasia, or general age-related weakness, I develop custom treatment plans that you can continue between sessions.

Cat Rehabilitation - Yes, Cats Too!

Cats hide pain incredibly well. If your cat has stopped jumping, plays less, or seems stiff, rehabilitation can help. I use fear-free certified feline-specific techniques that respect your cat's unique temperament.

Conditions Physical Rehabilitation Can Treat :

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Weakness from decreased activity

  • Balance and coordination issues

  • Chronic pain management without more medications

  • Muscle loss in senior pets or with conditions like Cushing’s

  • Post-surgery recovery (CCL tear,TPLO, hip replacement, IVDD back surgery, amputation, luxating patellas)

FAQ Section:

"How do I know if my senior pet needs rehabilitation?" If your dog takes multiple attempts to stand, bunny-hops up stairs, or can't get comfortable at night, rehabilitation can help. For cats, watch for avoiding jumps, decreased grooming, or hiding more often.

"What happens during a home visit?" First visit: 60-90 minute comprehensive assessment including gait analysis, range of motion testing, and pain evaluation. I'll create a custom plan and start treatment immediately. Follow-ups are 45-60 minutes.

"How is this different from regular vet visits?" Your vet diagnoses and treats medical conditions. I provide hands-on physical therapy to improve function and reduce pain. We work together as a team for your pet's best outcome.

"Do you work with my regular vet?" Absolutely. I'll coordinate with your veterinarian and provide progress reports as needed.
