OUR PRACTICE IS EXPANDING!

15 years ago small animal surgeons believed the best way for dogs to recover from orthopedic or back surgery was to crate rest them for an extended period of time, but that attitude has changed over the past the past ten years. By the 1990s interest in the field of canine rehabilitation had begun to grow. In part this was due to scientific research being conducted at university veterinary schools all over the world, demonstrating the effectiveness of rehabilitation for treating dogs and improving their recovery. As more of these evaluations have been published in scientific journals, and as veterinarians have seen the positive effect rehabilitation can have on dogs recovering from surgery, the practice has begun to gain credibility. Public awareness has also played a role in the growth of canine rehabilitation. Pet owners have become better educated and realize there are options available now for dogs who are elderly, arthritic, recovering from surgery, or suffering from a degenerative disease. More and more pet owners are turning to their veterinarians requesting these services, and as a result, veterinarians have begun to learn more about this field and have also begun to partner with physical therapists to care for their canine patients.

Since opening our doors in 2006 Tails of Rye has seen significant growth. In order to accommodate our clients and to make our services available to more dogs in need of physical therapy, we have added another treatment room, a heated pool, and have hired a second therapist. In the office we have April Gregg who provides office and computer support, greets our canine clients, and hands out the welcome biscuits. Behind the scenes is Donna Child, manager of Tails of Rye and owner of the adjoining Seacoast Fitness Studio.
