Helping your pet stay active, comfortable, and happy is what rehabilitation is all about. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery or your senior cat is showing signs of arthritis, rehabilitation therapy can make a meaningful difference in mobility, strength, and overall comfort.
Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand offers customized rehabilitation services for both dogs and cats. These therapy plans are thoughtfully developed based on your pet’s condition, activity level, and specific needs—whether they’re healing from an injury, managing a chronic illness, or simply trying to move more easily.
Why Pet Rehabilitation Matters
Rehabilitation gives pets the opportunity to heal, move better, and feel more comfortable—especially after surgery, injury, or with chronic conditions. Much like physical therapy for humans, pet rehabilitation uses structured techniques to restore function, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Dogs and cats benefit from rehab for a variety of reasons, including:
Some pets need rehab after surgery, while others benefit from improved balance or arthritis relief. At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, each pet receives a customized therapy plan using techniques like laser therapy, acupuncture, underwater treadmill, and at-home exercises. Rehab supports both physical recovery and emotional well-being, helping pets feel better, move easier, and enjoy life more fully.

What to Expect from a Rehab Session
Rehabilitation sessions at Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand are designed to be positive, personalized, and effective for both pets and their families. Whether your pet is healing from surgery or managing a chronic condition, every step of the rehab process is guided by their individual needs.
What to Expect from a Rehab Session
The first appointment typically lasts 30–60 minutes and begins with a detailed consultation. Our team reviews your pet’s medical history, assesses their mobility, and discusses any concerns or goals you have—such as reducing pain, improving movement, or enhancing recovery. A physical exam helps us evaluate strength, range of motion, coordination, and neurological function.
From there, we develop a personalized rehab plan, selecting the appropriate therapies to support your pet’s health and comfort.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
Each follow-up session also lasts 30–60 minutes and may include:
We use calm, low-stress handling techniques and positive reinforcement to help pets feel safe and motivated. Progress is closely monitored, and therapy plans are adjusted as needed based on how your pet responds.
Support Between Visits
Home care is an important part of the process. We often provide video-supported exercise plans and clear instructions so you can continue therapy at home. This keeps your pet moving forward and gives you a direct role in their recovery.
Discount for Surgical Patients
Pets who have surgery at our hospital receive a 10% discount on their inpatient rehabilitation program. This makes it easier to continue care and ensure your pet recovers with strength, mobility, and confidence.
With consistent therapy and compassionate guidance, many pets experience faster healing, improved comfort, and a better quality of life.
Supporting Dogs and Cats of All Ages
Rehabilitation isn’t just for large dogs or high-performance pets. Small breeds, senior pets, and even cats can benefit from rehab therapy. In fact, many cats tolerate treadmill sessions and manual therapies surprisingly well. These gentle techniques support balance, gait, and body awareness in a way that’s safe and reassuring.
Our team is trained to adapt sessions for even the most sensitive or hesitant pets, creating a calm, confidence-building experience.
