Standard appointments include the most appropriate treatment(s). In addition we may discuss management strategies such as enrichment, home environment modifications, and diet. Click here to learn more about different treatments.
Initial appointments are typically 1-2 hours. We will discuss your pet's medical history as well as any goals or concerns you may have. I will perform a gentle examination with a focus on areas of pain, movement restrictions and weakness. Building your pet's trust and maximizing their comfort is a priority so sometimes we have to go slow here*. Based on our discussion and my exam, I will formulate a treatment plan and perform any appropriate treatments for that day.
Follow-up appointments are typically 45-60 minutes. We will discuss how you pet has been since the previous session and I will perform a follow-up exam. We will either continue with the treatment plan or adjust it as needed.
A home exercise plan can be added to your standard appointment. If you choose to add this option, I will create a plan tailored to you and your pet. This may add 15-30 minutes to your appointment time.
** I do not travel with an assistant so sometimes you may be asked to hold your pet for part of the exam or treatment. For everyone's safety, some parts of an exam or treatment(s) may not be appropriate. **
