June Patient of the Month ✨

Meet Picasso, our playful and energetic 4.5-year-old Bernedoodle 🐾❤️
Picasso has been part of our rehab family for several years. We first met him while helping him recover from hip dysplasia and a TPO (Triple Pelvic Osteotomy) repair. Through it all, Picasso has approached every challenge with enthusiasm, resilience, and his signature happy-go-lucky attitude.
Today, Picasso visits us weekly for maintenance therapy to help keep him feeling his best and ready for all of life's adventures. Full of energy and always eager for fun, he keeps us smiling with his playful personality, excitement, and endless zest for life. Whether he's showing off his enthusiasm or soaking up attention from the team, Picasso brings joy to everyone he meets.
We are incredibly proud of the progress he has made over the years and grateful to continue being part of his wellness journey. ✨🐶
Keep up the amazing work, Picasso! 💪🐾❤️

Here are a few simple ways to help at home:
✔️ Measure meals—avoid overfeeding or free feeding
✔️ Stick to a consistent feeding schedule
✔️ Choose healthy, low-calorie treats (or use part of their regular food!)

✔️ Limit table scraps

Even small changes can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort—especially for those with joint issues or recovering from injury.

Not all recoveries look the same—and sometimes our pets need extra support to heal fully.

Watch for these signs:
• Limping or favoring one leg
• Stiffness, especially after rest
• Trouble standing, walking, or climbing stairs
• Decreased energy or reluctance to move
• Muscle loss or weakness
• Changes in behavior (irritability, restlessness)

Rehabilitation can help improve strength, mobility, and overall comfort—so your pet can get back to living their best life 💙

If you’re noticing any of these signs, early intervention can make all the difference.

Warmer weather means more walks, more play, and more fun 🐕🌿

As activity levels increase, it’s important to make sure your pet is moving comfortably. If they seem stiff, slow, or hesitant, it could be a sign they need a little extra support.

Spring is the perfect time to ease back into activity—but remember to start gradually and watch for any signs of discomfort, especially for pets recovering from surgery or managing arthritis.

With the right care, we can help make this their most active (and comfortable) season yet 🌸
