Rehabilitation

At Avets we’re dedicated to helping improve your pet’s quality of life. Rehabilitation is helpful for pain management, improving mobility, conditioning, animals recovering from surgery or suffering from an injury, as well as pets diagnosed with neurological conditions and even obesity. Avets works with Pittsburgh Veterinary Rehabilitation on-site to determine both your long and short term goals for care. Your initial consultation includes a review of medical history plus an assessment of current issues and nutrition. Our rehabilitation therapist will then work with you to create a treatment plan customized for your pet’s needs.
