Welcome to California Animal Rehabilitation (CARE)
Veterinarians + Physical Therapists = Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services
Our Mission
The mission at California Animal Rehabilitation (CARE) is to provide the gold standard in comprehensive rehabilitation care for your pet, by combining the education and expertise of a veterinarian and a doctor of physical therapy, both certified in canine rehabilitation. Our holistic approach includes all factors in the rehabilitation equation, including medical history, current issues, body condition, lifestyle, nutrition, supplements and medication, combined with cutting edge, state-of-the-art technology.
| Pairing a veterinarian with a physical therapist has the potential for tremendous outcomes in pet rehabilitation... Veterinarians understand pet injuries and diseases, and physical therapists are experts in the science of rehabilitation-- how a body moves, joint and soft tissue mechanics and the impact of exercise... California Animal Rehabilitation’s facility offers the most desirable business model in this rapidly emerging field. |

Wendy the Wonder Pup
Wendy's story is an amazing one! She is a four year old Miniature Poodle and as sweet as they come! She became acutely paralyzed one day; diagnosed with a herniated disc. Her owners gave her up due to financial reasons but she was taken on by the lovely people at Cage Free Canine Rescue and was able to receive the spinal surgery she needed.
After surgery Wendy still was not able to feel her feet and this persisted for months, which was a poor indicator of her chances of being able to walk again. But, after four months she miraculous regained feeling and returned back to CARE to continue rehabilitation and learn to walk again!
After months of hard work at CARE, and help from Cage Free, Wendy is a mobile mamacita! She is still working on strengthening her back legs but is walking and moving better than ever. Wendy just recently found her FOREVER HOME with a lovely young couple and they couldn’t happier to be the new proud owners of the cutest miniature poodle with the fight and spirit of a pitbull!
