Rehabilitation Therapy in Harrisburg

Helping Your Pet Recover in Dauphin County

Animal Hospital of Dauphin County is committed to providing rehabilitation for our patients and our referral patients! Canine (animal) rehab uses the principles of human physical rehabilitation to help dogs and cats who are having difficulty moving, trouble walking, or who are in pain. It can also aid in helping animals regain muscle mass post operatively.

Our rehabilitation program includes a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Fletcher, CCRT. A treatment plan is developed from the findings of the evaluation and in conjunction with the owner’s goals. Treatment is individualized and may include hydrotherapy, laser therapy, balance exercises, walking retraining, therapeutic exercises, soft tissue massage with manual therapy, stretching, and home exercise program.

My dogs love this place. The vet's are very thoughtful and make sure to keep my dogs as healthy as they can. The vet spends time with each dog to keep them in good health.
Unfortunately my bunny passed away. The hospital was professional and I'm sure they tried their best.
My dog is a bit fearful about some of the parts of her care the staff must perform, however, they get it done (kindly) and Lena is not afraid of visiting the vet. In fact she seems happy to meet people and tried her best to give every other doggy a happy greeting. (I discourage it, in an abundance of caution)
I went to visit this facility to get a second opinion on my dog’s condition! I was very pleased to receive the care and attention they provided. The team was very willing to take the time to see my pet and help find answers to her problem. They were very polite and caring. The doctor took the time to answer any questions I had and offer their professional opinion on what to do next. I did not feel rushed at all through the exam. They made me feel much more comfortable with my dog’s current condition. She helped me see the path ahead much more clearer and took her off medications not needed. I am very willing to move ahead with the staff here and trust them when making decisions with my girl!!
