What to Expect

Every pet deserves to live pain free.

 

Pets are living longer, thanks to improvements in veterinary medicine, but are they living better?  20 percent of all dogs and 80 percent of senior pets suffer from arthritis. Half of the pet population is overweight, increasing risk of arthritis and other life threatening diseases. Active pets are prone to injuries that can result in long term pain and arthritis. Still others are crippled from neurological and spinal disease. Medications and surgery help, but there is much more that can be done to improve the quality of life for our pets.  I am passionate about reducing pain and improving the mobility of our pets through rehabilitation therapy, and  I prefer working with them in a way that is pleasant and stress free. Treating pets in their own home promotes relaxation, improves learning, reduces the risk of injury, and increases the chance for improvement. That's why I created 4STRONG PAWS LLC, the only mobile veterinary rehabilitation service in the Greater Richmond area.  Reducing pain and improving mobility with gentle, easy methods is what 4STRONG PAWS LLC is all about.
