Flannery Animal Hospital is dedicated to improving the quality of life for your pet. That is why we offer fitness and rehabilitation services designed to reduce pain, manage weight, and increase mobility and function.
Pets with sudden injuries or long-term degenerative conditions affecting joints, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments or the nervous system can benefit from our rehabilitation programs. For pets that need to manage their weight or build strength, we have a fitness center available.
With our pet gym membership, you will receive a consultation with our canine rehabilitation practitioner, Melanie Behrens; two to three workout sessions per week; use of our hydrotherapy tank and exercise equipment; and frequent weigh-ins and measurements to track your pet's progress.
