Physical Rehabilitation has come a long way in the last few decades and here at Caledon-Vaughan House Calls we are pleased to be able to offer these services for your pets. I am dedicated to improving the quality of life for my patients by providing the best care possible. Physical therapy can be an invaluable tool to aid in the recovery and well-being of your pet in many different instances. It involves a variety of techniques and can offer many benefits for your pet.

I have always been interested in rehabilitation and was working on my certification when I sustained my own debilitating injury. I had to put my career and even my life on hold while I participated in an intensive physical therapy regimen to regain the use of my arm and hand. Through this experience I am able to understand first hand what many of your pets go through after an injury. The pain and frustration can be unbearable without the proper support.

I am dedicated to providing that support in the form of physical rehabilitation and pain control for your pet. Now more than ever, I am excited to make animal rehabilitation enjoyable and beneficial for your pets. Each pet will have an assessment and an individual rehabilitation plan, consisting of the proper treatments and modalities. I am dedicated to excellent pain control and the best outcome possible for each individual. Together we can improve the quality of their lives.

We gladly accept referrals from your regular veterinarian.
