Senior Pet Rehabilitation
Help Your Dog or Cat Move Better Without Leaving Home
Is your older dog struggling to stand up after naps? Does your senior cat avoid jumping onto their favorite spots? I'm a certified veterinary rehabilitation therapist bringing professional therapies directly to your Kirkland-area home. No stressful car rides. No waiting rooms. Just compassionate, effective care where your pet feels safest.
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
Post-surgery recovery (TPLO, hip replacement, back surgery)

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.
