analysis, etc.). An initial intake will be constructed whereby important information will be collected
pertaining to your dog’s current health status, current weight, and a care plan will be designed
accordingly based on your dog’s specific needs and recommendations from your veterinarian.
Progress reports will be provided to the referring Veterinarian, as needed. Approximately 30 minutes
of this appointment will be used to introduce some of the therapeutic modalities (i.e. hydrotherapy,
