Questions dog owners ask

Canine physical therapy (often called canine rehabilitation) uses hands-on techniques, targeted exercise, gait training, and supportive modalities to help dogs move with less discomfort and more strength and confidence. It works alongside — never in place of — your veterinarian's care.

Often, yes. Many senior dogs benefit from gentle strengthening, balance work, and comfort-focused care that supports everyday mobility like getting up, walking, and managing stairs. Every dog is different, so TJ will talk through realistic goals after an evaluation.

The first visit is an evaluation. TJ will ask about your dog's history and daily life, watch how your dog moves, assess strength, range of motion, and comfort, and then talk with you about goals and a personalized plan — including what you can do at home.

Yes. Mobile canine physical therapy is available now in eligible areas around the Front Range. Because it includes travel time, in-home care is offered as a premium convenience service.

Our new rehabilitation facility is in Erie, Colorado, in a detached commercial space behind the Physical Therapy Center of Erie. The verified street address, entrance directions, and parking details will be posted here as soon as they're confirmed.

The Erie facility is coming soon. An opening date hasn't been announced yet — request an appointment or contact us and we'll keep you updated. Mobile appointments remain available in the meantime.

Mobile visits are priced as a premium service to reflect travel time and cost, and a distance-based travel fee may apply. Current pricing is shared directly — please call (720) 766-4353 or send a request for details.

Requirements can depend on your dog's situation and on Colorado rules for animal physical therapy. TJ works collaboratively with veterinarians and will let you know what's needed for your dog when you get in touch. Veterinarians can also refer patients directly through our For Veterinarians page.

It varies with your dog's condition, goals, and how they respond. After the evaluation, TJ will give you an honest sense of the plan and adjust it as your dog progresses — there's no one-size-fits-all number.
