I look forward to meeting you & your Pet

your First appointment:

Before Your Visit

Before starting physical therapy with your dog, Mamie will help secure the necessary forms & paperwork and collaborate with your vet to ensure safe and effective treatment. 


She’ll review your veterinarian's referral paperwork and your Client Registration form before the first visit, where she will conduct a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation. 



What To Bring

You don't have to bring anything.  Just provide a comfortable space and plan to be present at the appointment. Mamie will bring all necessary equipment. The evaluation will help develop an individualized treatment plan, and treatment will begin during this first session. Mamie will discuss goals with you and emphasize your role in your dog’s recovery, providing a customized home program for ongoing care.  This is why it is important that you be present at the initial evaluation.


Appointment Length

The initial evaluation and treatment typically take 60-75 minutes. 


After Your Visit

Mamie will send you an email with access to the patient portal, where you can watch videos, including details of the customized techniques & exercises developed out of the evaluation for your dog.  You will discuss and schedule any follow-up visits. She will send your veterinarian a report of her findings and keep your veterinarian updated on your dog's progress

Faqs

A. Because every patient has different needs, we don't believe a single price tells the whole story.  We'd be happy to discuss our fees over the phone.  This also gives us the opportunity to learn a little about your dog, confirm that you are in our service area, explain what the initial evaluation and follow-ups include, and answer any questions you may have before scheduling. 

A.  We do not accept insurance but are happy to provide you with a paid receipt for submission to your insurance company.  We encourage you to inquire with your insurance company prior to scheduling to confirm your coverage includes rehabilitation services.  

A.  We schedule primarily Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 9:30am -3:30pm and some Friday mornings.  No weekend appointments.  If you require appointment times outside these hours, please give us a call - we are happy to discuss options.

A.  Our fees include travel up to 15 miles from our base point in Aurora.  That includes a good portion of Denver Metro and portions of suburbs.  If you aren't sure, please give us a call and check out our Service Area Map for a better idea.

A.  Yes.  We encourage our clients to be present for the evaluation and treatment process.  Your involvement helps us better understand your dog's needs and you will be instructed in techniques you will be asked to continue at home between visits.  Your participation in the process is key to better outcomes. 

A.  The initial evaluation is typically 60-90 minutes.  During this visit we'll review your dog's medical history, perform a full-body physical therapy assessment, discuss goals together, develop a personalized rehabilitation plan and you'll be instructed in treatment techniques.   Follow-up appointment frequency varies depending on a variety of factors and are 30-45 min on average.  

A.  Yes.  The state of Colorado requires that your dog be medically cleared before a physical therapist can start rehabilitation.  This collaboration helps in developing the safest, most effective treatment plan for your dog.   We're happy to help with obtaining the required documents.
