Loved by Pets, Supported by Vets
Rehabilitation therapies are an excellent aid following muscle injury or surgery, or to help reduce the discomfort of conditions that have developed over time. These therapies can also be used to treat nerve injuries — even paralysis. Pain management is a huge part of our work here. All of our services aim to reduce discomfort and restore normal movement patterns, so your pet can get back to their healthy, happy selves.
Patients are only seen on veterinary referral.
Contact us or your vet to start the process.

Let’s Work Together
All rehabilitation is complementary to veterinary care and is not meant as a substitute. To come and visit Active Pet Rehab, you’ll need a referral from your local vet, or veterinary specialist. This extra step may seem unnecessary, but it’s so important for us to provide the right treatment. By partnering with your vet, we’ll be able to see your pet’s medical history, test results, x-rays, allergies, and anything else that will help us deliver the right personalised therapy plan. In other words, we work collaboratively with you and your vet to provide the best possible treatment and care.
Marg with ‘Mischka’
I can't say enough about Carmel & her practice. My Cavalier diagnosed with hip dysplasia 2017 when 2 years old. A happy little pup hearing her yelping when trying to play, dreadful. Arthritis had set so no operation. Carmel put her on treadmill therapy for a few months & gave me home exercises. Her muscles are now strong, she can run, have fun & loves life. She knows she has to do stretches etc, see Carmel for checks but all the team are compassionate & its like family. Thank you all. xx Marg & Mischka

You want your pet to recover as quickly as possible — and so do we!

In many cases, treatment can be managed through an initial assessment and advice, with follow-ups done over the phone.
Something To Wag About
Many insurance companies cover rehabilitation therapies on vet referral. So, if you have pet insurance, there’s a good chance you’re pets treatment will be covered should you wish to claim your costs. However, we want to avoid any nasty surprises, so it’s always best to check what your insurance includes, just in case.
