Welcome to Dawgfit!

The rehab is an intimate home office designed to be a no stress, calming, and welcoming atmosphere for pets and their parents. Programs are land based (no water therapy) so that they can be continued at home as demonstrated.  Education, homework, and collaboration are the keys to a successful outcome.  Stay in motion!

          For Referring Veterinarians

          Referral Policy

          Thank you for entrusting your patient's care to Dawgfit.  I will only provide treatment for the conditions in which you prescribe.  Clients seeking other services will be referred back to you as the primary care veterinarian.  Referral patients must be up to date on Rabies.  For orthopedic cases, I encourage imaging of the affected areas to ensure there is no evidence of neoplasia prior to starting laser therapy, as this treatment accelerates cellular metabolism and is thus contraindicated in cancer patients.  Any suspected dermal or subcutaneous lesions in the treatment area (including lipomas) should be documented as well.

          The link in the next section contains the referral form to fill out and send with the client to the appointment. Please feel free to contact me  to discuss a case prior to the referral.
