Canine Rehab Centre
When dogs develop mobility problems such as arthritis, weak back legs, or are recovering from cruciate ligament surgery, dog rehabilitation or canine rehabilitation therapies can play a vital role in helping them regain strength and comfort.
At the Canine Rehabilitation Centre at The Vet Lounge - Upper Coomera, our rehabilitation services are supported by a veterinary practice known for its advanced surgical and medical care. This means your dog’s rehabilitation plan is designed with a full understanding of their diagnosis, surgery, imaging, medications, and overall health.
You don’t need to be a client of The Vet Lounge to access our rehabilitation services. We regularly work alongside veterinary clinics and specialist veterinarians across the Gold Coast, and referrals are not required.
A Purpose-Built Rehabilitation Facility
Our centre has been purpose-designed specifically for canine rehabilitation. This includes a dedicated exercise space where we can safely guide dogs through structured exercise programs.
Within our facility we use a range of specialised therapies, including:
- Evaluations
- Therapeutic laser therapy
- Manual therapy and joint mobilisation
- Structured strengthening and mobility exercises
- Excercise Plans
- Underwater treadmill hydrotherapy for dogs
Some of the
most common
problems we help
dogs with include:
- Recovery after cruciate ligament surgery (TPLO, TTA and other ACL repairs)
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Weak back legs and muscle loss
- Neurological conditions affecting mobility
- Spinal injuries or intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- Post-surgical rehabilitation after orthopaedic procedures
- Senior dogs needing support with strength, balance and mobility
Rehabilitation helps improve strength, joint mobility, coordination, and overall comfort, allowing dogs to move more confidently and maintain a better quality of life.
As a surgical specialist, I find that incorporating canine rehabilitation into our postoperative treatment plan leads to faster and more complete recoveries and better overall outcomes. Additionally, many of our patients don’t require surgery to treat some of their arthritic and soft tissue injuries, but rather require a thoughtful and controlled rehabilitation program to allow them to recover from these conditions. Janet has a wealth of experience and knowledge, combine this with all the technologies and tools, I have full confidence that our shared patients are receiving top notch care when they are seen at the Canine Rehab Centre.
