Pet Rehabilitation Services
We believe that a good rehabilitation program is key to the success of many orthopedic, neurological, and many soft tissue conditions. Getting your pet started on their rehabilitation journey promotes mobility, reduces pain, minimizes inflammation and improves the overall rate of recovery.
We are the only practice in the Racine area that offers a new state of the art facility with an in-house team of certified professionals dedicated to your pet’s needs.
Give Your Pet the Best Chance for Recovery
Pet rehabilitation involves various therapeutic techniques and exercises to help pets recover from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions. It aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for animals.
Rehabilitation services are tailored to each individual animal’s needs, taking into account their specific condition, age, and overall health and involves a trained team working in tandem with you, the pet parent, to ensure the best outcome.
We Want to Give Your Dog the Best Quality of Life
Here at Strides your pet isn’t just another patient to us, they’re part of our mission to make sure every animal lives their life to the fullest while being happy and pain free.
When you schedule your initial consultation, we’ll meet with you and your furry friend to review their medical history, your vet’s referral notes, discuss your overall concerns and goals and do a complete physical to get a baseline of where they are at. Once that’s completed, we’ll work on developing a personalized rehabilitation plan and include any additional recommended therapies or alternative treatment plans we feel will help them on their road to recovery.
After we’ve answered all your questions and finalized a plan that works for everyone we’ll schedule your future rehab appointments to work best with your schedule and after every appointment we’ll give you additional exercises you can do at home to continue helping your dog or pet improve. We’ll keep track of your furry companion’s progress so at the end of their treatment we can review how far they’ve come. If you have any questions before scheduling your visit, please feel free to contact us or give us a call.

Conditions for Rehabilitation
Thanks to our team of certified canine rehabilitation practitioners and veterinarians, we are able to treat a variety of conditions from common issues and injuries or more complex issues.
Reduced Weight Bearing
The buoyancy of water reduces the weight-bearing load on your animal’s joints, allowing them to exercise with less pain and stress while achieving greater range of motion to improve their overall mobility.
Strength Building
Water provides natural resistance that is evenly distributed ensures that both the front and rear muscles are equally engaged, promoting balanced muscle development and building strength.
Controlled Environment
The water pressure enhances circulation to reduce swelling while the massaging effect alleviates pain and discomfort, plus the temperature provides therapeutic warmth to relax muscles and improve flexibility.
Emotional Wellbeing
The gentle, rhythmic motion of walking in water can be calming for animals, reducing stress and anxiety plus helps builds confidence by supporting them and reducing pain throughout the rehabilitation process.
Patients Love Us
“Strides at Magnolia has helped Bodhi live his best life possible. He went from being overweight and struggling to move without pain to an active happy dog that got his hops back.
Kasia & Bodhi
They helped him strengthen his core and he no longer moves like a dog that has double hip dysplasia”
“I can’t say enough about the benefits participating in Strides has had on both of our dogs. Louie, our English Mastiff was depressed and becoming more sedentary and withdrawn after his brother Hank passed. While like a typical English Mastiff, he was initially cautious and a little anxious, he quickly adapted. Molly and the staff at strides built Louie’s confidence and brought him out of his shell again. Now he gets so excited on the days “he knows” he has a session that he can barely contain himself.
He has become happier, more engaged and certainly more energetic. The response has been more than psychological. Physically he is aging backwards. He lost 25 lbs and looks great. Strides and Molly have restored Louie’s youth and instilled a joy for life again. Hank would be so happy for his brother.
Cooper is a whole other story. Cooper has never been shy or lacked confidence. Quite the opposite. Strides has helped Cooper develop focus and discipline. He has become like an Olympic athlete, determined to be the best at everything. He, like us loves the Strides team and certainly notices if someone is not there for his sessions.
Lastly, Strides has helped our entire family. They have become part of our family and have helped all of us become better versions of ourselves.”
