Today is a very special day at TVRC as we celebrate our 3rd anniversary with a day of wellness and relaxation!🧘🏼‍♀️

We are extremely lucky to have such a passionate and dedicated group of girls that will go to the ends of the earth for their patients, our clients and each other. Everything that we have built here is because of them. 🥂

It is also a bittersweet day as we say goodbye to one of the OGs, Lindsay, as she continues her professional journey as an RVT. She has been an integral part of the practice over the last 3 years, and although we are so sad to lose her, we are so very proud of all that she has accomplished and wish her all the success in her new role. 🩷🥹

Happy 3rd anniversary TVRC team! I love you all to the moon!! 😘

Pain doesn’t always look like limping.

Many senior dogs show subtle signs — hesitation on stairs, restlessness, licking at joints, or changes in posture. These small clues can mean your pet is uncomfortable long before they show obvious lameness.

🌀 Once pain limits movement, muscles weaken, stiffness increases, and pain worsens — it’s a cycle we can break.

We’ll be teaching pet owners how to recognize these signs early and take action in our upcoming Senior Wellness & Mobility Masterclass (launching November 30!). Send us a DM to be added to the Waitlist and you will be notified when the course goes live!

Did you know that our 6 Week Wellness & Weight Loss Program was originally designed with seniors in mind? We want to see every senior dog start their rehab journey BEFORE they are already suffering from mobility challenges or crippling arthritis, to keep them in tip top shape as they cruise through their golden years.

The 6 Week Wellness & Weight Loss Program allows our senior patients to see what rehab has to offer, and from there they can continue on a longer term plan to maintain their new found fitness.

What you'll get:
✅ A brief once over by our rehab vet to make sure that your senior pet is fit to start rehab
✅ An initial assessment by our animal chiropractor
✅ An assessment of your pet's current level of fitness by one of our rehab practitioners
✅ 4 chiropractic care sessions
✅ 4 hydrotherapy sessions
✅ A home-based exercise program
✅ A supplement starter pack

Stay tuned to see some of our 6 Week Wellness patients in action! And ICYMI - don't forget that we have a special announcement coming at the end of November that will help you provide even more support to these super seniors! 🤫

🏠 3 Easy Ways to Support Your Senior Dog at Home

1️⃣ Add traction: Non-slip mats or yoga mats reduce slips on tile and hardwood.
2️⃣ Raise food and water bowls: Keeps necks and spines in better alignment.
3️⃣ Keep nails and paw fur short: Long nails and fur reduce paw contact and stability.

Little changes at home can make a world of difference in your pet’s comfort. Stay tuned for more ways to keep your senior pet physically and mentally sharp as they age! 💪

We are so sad to say goodbye to our intern Melissa at the end of this week. 🥺

Melissa is a final year vet student and budding rehab superstar who travelled all the way from Brazil to spend most of the month of October with us as she finishes up her veterinary degree. She didn’t hesitate to jump right in to help out wherever she could, and has really become an extension of our team over the last few weeks.

We wish you all the best Melissa as you finish up your studies, and hope to see you again soon in the future!

🙏 Closing out RVT Month with gratitude

This October, we’ve celebrated Jenna, Emelia, Christina, and Lindsay — their dedication, skills, and compassion. We hope you've gained a little insight into the vital role of rehabilitation RVTs and why we love ours so much. 🩷

Thank you to our clients who trust us with your pets’ mobility and healing journeys. And thank you to our rehab team — we truly couldn’t do this without you.

If you’ve seen improvements in your pet from our rehab team’s efforts, drop a comment below and share your story! 👇

Thinking your pet might benefit from rehab (post-surgery, neurologic injury, arthritis, mobility issues)? Book an assessment with us and let our RVTs help guide a recovery that’s evidence-based and hands-on. We know you will love them as much as we do. 😉

💡 How do Rehab RVTs contribute to successful recovery?

Here are a few ways they make a difference:

🔹 Consistent Monitoring & Adjustments — They observe subtle changes day by day, alter protocols, and catch issues early.
🔹 Client Education & Compliance — They train pet owners on home exercises, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure consistency.
🔹 Hands-on Therapies — Massage, stretching, soft tissue, manual therapy are techniques that only skilled hands can deliver.
🔹 Multimodal Approach — They integrate passive modalities (laser, shockwave, electrical stimulation), active therapy (strengthening, balance), and adjunctive therapies.
🔹 Emotional Support & Encouragement — Recovery takes patience. The RVTs provide encouragement, motivation, celebrate small wins.

Recovery is a team sport — and our rehab RVTs are a central part of that team.

Ever wonder what a rehab RVT does in a day? Let’s walk through a typical schedule:

Morning:
✅ Review incoming patient charts and treatment plans
✅ Case discussions and treatment planning
✅ Start treatment sessions: hydrotherapy, therapeutic exercise, laser, shockwave, etc.

Midday:
✅ Complete patient records from morning cases
✅ Adjust protocols or parameters for subsequent sessions
✅ Reply to client questions

Afternoon / Evening:
✅ More sessions, wrap up with patients and records
✅ Educate pet owners and send out home exercise plans
✅ Clean / reset equipment, prep for next day
✅ Reflect on challenging cases and learning points

Behind every exercised limb, every wag regained, and every improved step is a Rehab RVT’s dedication, skill, and persistence.

Have questions about a certain therapy (laser, hydro, massage)? Let us know — we’ll break it down!

Providing integrative medicine for your pet in the comfort of your own home.

What is integrative veterinary medicine?

Integrative veterinary medicine is a rapidly growing field of veterinary medicine that combines the best of conventional treatment with alternative and complementary therapies.

What are the benefits of providing treatments at home?

My goal is to make your pet’s treatments as easy and low stress as possible. Home consultations allow me to evaluate your pet in their natural environment, where they are most comfortable.
