STRENGTH FOR LIFE
Help your dog conquer everyday challenges like loading into the car or climbing onto the couch by building their strength, balance, and flexibility. You and your dog will work together. We’ll show you how.
ASSISTED SWIMMING
Often called the perfect exercise, swimming is a fantastic option for mobility challenged dogs. It builds strength, stamina, and balance without the pounding of land exercise. Cheer them on as they swim their laps with us or chase their toys on their own.
SOOTHING MASSAGE
Older dogs and those with mobility challenges need special attention to their muscles and joints. Massage helps maintain muscle health, lubricates joints for better range of motion and aides in the emotional adjustment to new physical limitations.
ORTHOTICS/ PROSTHETICS
For dogs recovering from surgery or for whom surgery is not an option, OrthoPets braces and prosthetics can significantly improve your dog’s well-being, promote healing, and reduce the risk of further injury.
CANINE CARTS
A cart can return a dog’s independence and enable her to run and play again, getting exercise and mental stimulation she needs to live a happy, healthy life. With custom and adjustable options, we’ll help you find the cart that’s right for your dog.

Your dog has unique mobility support needs. We’ll chose from our large selection of mobility equipment such as harness, boots, shoes, socks, toe-ups and more to find the products that is the solution for your dog to get around easier.

Mobility
Based on our evaluation of your dog and her diagnosis, we can recommend activities and supportive equipment to keep your dog happy and active at every stage of life.
During our 60-minute evaluation with you, we’ll discuss your dog’s Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and the challenges she’s facing to perform these independently. We’ll also talk about the difficulties you may be having in supporting your dog as her mobility changes. Finally, we’ll ask you about the goals you have for your dog.
At the end of this evaluation, we’ll make recommendations based on your dog’s current mobility and your goals. These could include assisted swimming, guided exercise, massage, custom or semi-custom devices, carts, support equipment like harnesses and footwear, and others.
We understand that being a caregiver to a senior, disabled or injured pet can be difficult and heart-wrenching. We’re here to listen and support as much as possible.
