Revive Veterinary Rehab is a specialized animal rehabilitation center that provides a wide range of rehabilitation services to canine and feline patients. Our center has trained professionals who use advanced techniques and technology to improve the overall well-being of our patients. We believe that every animal deserves to have the best quality of life possible, and our services are designed to help achieve that goal.

Rehab can often include a combination of at-home exercises that we can review with you, as well as conduct therapeutic strengthening exercises and different modalities (such as laser therapy or shock wave therapy). We will often make a plan for weight loss if necessary and multimodal drug therapy.

The goals of rehab therapy:

Achieving the highest level of function, independence, and quality of life possible for that patient. Some benefits of rehab in our canine patients include: increased strength and endurance, reduced pain, increased speed of recovery post-surgery, and improved quality of movement.

Rehab can be a nice way to complement traditional pharmacological management of chronic conditions. It can also be used as an alternative for our patients who cannot tolerate traditional drugs used for pain management and arthritis.

Some of the modalities that we employ are:

  • Balance board: Balance board exercises can assist in the restoration of stability and proprioception, as well as early weight bearing following back, rear limb, or front limb injury. It can also improve balance and coordination.
  • Physio ball stretching: We use these to stretch and provide low-impact rear limb strengthening exercises. It also helps to relax the spine and loosen the muscles.
  • Muscle strengthening exercises: Exercises that aim to rebuild muscle mass.

Some of the equipment that we use:

  • Laser Therapy: Laser therapy is the use of light (typically infrared) energy to stimulate tissue repair and provide pain management. Laser therapy may alleviate muscle and joint discomfort, relieve symptoms of arthritis, relax muscle spasms and increase blood flow to an area, helping injuries to heal.
  • Shock Wave Therapy: Shock Wave therapy is the application of short, intense sound waves to a specific site to stimulate healing. It is used for the treatment of arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament damage, scar tissue, non-healing fractures or wounds, and other musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Underwater Treadmill: This type of therapy can decrease recovery time from surgery, decrease pain, and increase mobility and strength. Being in the after reduces pressure on your pet's joints, and improves muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and range of motion.

We’ve been taking our various cats to Allandale for about 25 years now, and have always received thoughtful and attentive care. They are professional, caring, and supportive. They have helped with many serious illnesses and, when it was time, crossings over the rainbow bridge. They have helped our kitties lead proactive, healthy lives. Highly recommended.”

I take my elderly client's pets to Allendale Vet Clinic. They are so very kind and communicate with her to check on how her dudes are doing after surgery or procedures. All the staff are friendly and efficient!”

This place is awesome and very accommodating! I took my dog here yesterday to get all of his shots redone and some lab work. It was our first time here, and my pup gets anxious and reactive at the vet. I told the receptionist this when we checked in and she said we could wait in the car and they would come out to get us when we were ready. It was so sweet! When the vet tech came to get us, she brought us through the back so we could minimize any stress for my dog.”
