Once you get to know the exercises and can do them well with your pup, much rehab can be done at home.
Is rehab always necessary? Well I don't know, but I do know that proper rehab can aid in healing times, and overall fitness for the dog. |
Cost has never been a deciding factor for me. It was not recommended ... it is optional....and I chose not to. If I had insurance that was paying for it, I still would not do it. I have not found that my pups have any issues...they all get back to normal living in no time once their restrictions are lifted and they do terrific! My pups have all healed well and have not had issues...and I am talking about too many pups to count. I would have to go back and pull all of my files to give you a number, but trust me, I have a lot of experience with knee surgery.
