EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Mercylight ARSTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are truly thankful for what Rehabvet has done for many of our shelter dogs - hock Lai (spinal injury and FHO on left leg), nugget (patella luxation and hunch back, weakness on both hind and in a lot of pain), Eden (ACL injury), keeper (arthritis), jay jay (arthritis) and more. They never fail to amaze us with the results. When we lose hope, miracle appears! They treat singapore special the same way they treat other dogs. No prejudice and totally invested to see them improve every session. Thank u Dr Sara, Angeline, Joyce and everyone involved ! JiayingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. very patient and knowledgeable staffs judette siewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been with the Rehab Vet team for nearly half a year now, and they’ve been absolutely amazing. The team is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and accommodating. Both my Singapore Specials have been so well cared for, even though only one of them requires the service. Their genuine dedication and warmth have made every visit a positive experience. Thank you for all that you do, and keep up the fantastic work, team! YT NgTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank Xan and his team at RehabVet enough for the incredible care they've given my dog. After a sudden incident where my dog started dragging both hind legs, the vet diagnosed him with IVDD stage 2. The animal hospital quoted me a huge amount for a CT scan and surgery, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to put my senior dog through that. I decided to try physio at RehabVet, and it was the best decision I could have made. Within just 2-3 sessions, my dog's hind legs showed significant improvement—they were no longer wobbly. Now, after 7-8 sessions, he's regained his mobility and is even jumping around at home again. Xan's patience and dedication made all the difference. He provided thorough treatment during each session, and my usually anti-social dog felt comfortable and happy around him. Unlike other experiences I've had, Xan always gives my dog his full attention and care, making sure each session is truly effective. Every session I just leave my dog with him and can have some me time while trusting that my dog is in good hands. They even send me pictures of my dog during the treatment to keep me updated and provide specific instructions on exercises I can do with my dog at home until the next session. I highly recommend RehabVet to anyone in need of compassionate, effective care for their pet. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Aaron Lim Han MingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so glad I was referred to RehabVet Clinic. The therapists are not only professional but also incredibly friendly. My puppy Summer has made tremendous progress after her physiotherapy sessions. They take the time to explain everything thoroughly, guiding me on how to help her with exercises to improve her mobility, and offering helpful tips and techniques for training. It’s been amazing to see her improvement. A big thank you to RehabVet! I highly recommend them to anyone with a pet experiencing mobility issues or recovering from an injury Audrey.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog , Cash was diagnosed with IVDD on Christmas 2 years ago . Given her age, I sought management therapy to assist her in ageing gracefully . Since managing her at Rehab Clinic , I have always been actively informed about the treatment plans by their Team - A quality that I believe many pet guardians like myself appreciate . The Team has never ceased to show genuine empathy towards Cash , knowledge of her condition and appropriate management steps . Cash is not the easiest dog to handle (she may be small but she has big big feelings). More recently , she has added chronic kidney disease to the list of discomforts . Dr Sara , who is extremely knowledgeable in rehabilitation , recommended moxibustion to complement her acupuncture sessions since she observed that Cash’s body temperature is on the lower side (especially with kidney disease). Cash is visibly more comfortable after her bi-weekly visits to the clinic and words are definitely not enough to Thank the Rehab Team for their care 🙂 Christy ChongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I like to extend my heartfelt appreciation and commendation for the extraordinary comfort, joy, and compassion that everyone in RehabVet brings throughout my dog’s therapy sessions. Everyone exhibits patience, empathy, kindness, and gentle interaction which is essential for pet owners to feel safe and entrust their furbaby to them. Highly recommend RehabVet because you definitely can feel their dedication and passion in their work 🙂 Nadine VerdoornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My cat started at rehab vet limping and in pain after shoulder surgery. Angeline and Sean and the team have done amazing work with him. From the first try at land based exercises to the underwater treadmill and now swimming, they have expertly guided him every step of the way. I never imagine my cat would be a swimmer! He is now walking without pain, back to his playful and happy normal self. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Clarisse TanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RehabVet has been instrumental in helping my Yogi boi walk again after he suffered from slipped disc! clear diagnoses and treatment plans are given. Sean and Angeline have been his therapists and Yogi enjoys his therapy sessions as well!

Benefits of Hydrotherapy
1. Improved Muscle Strength and Tone
The natural resistance of water encourages your dog to work harder during movement, effectively strengthening and toning muscles without the risk of injury associated with high-impact exercises.
2. Enhanced Joint Mobility
Water’s buoyancy reduces stress on joints, allowing for a greater range of motion and facilitating gentle, pain-free movement—ideal for dogs with arthritis or those recovering from surgery.
3. Pain Relief and Reduced Inflammation
Warm water used in hydrotherapy sessions helps relax muscles and increase blood circulation, which can alleviate pain and decrease inflammation in affected areas.
4. Cardiovascular Fitness
Engaging in hydrotherapy provides an excellent cardiovascular workout, improving heart health and endurance without overexerting your dog.
5. Weight Management
For overweight dogs, hydrotherapy offers a low-impact, high-resistance exercise option that aids in weight loss while minimizing stress on joints.
6. Accelerated Post-Surgical Recovery
Hydrotherapy can speed up recovery times by reducing swelling, improving mobility, and strengthening muscles after surgical procedures.
7. Enhanced Mental Well-being
Many dogs find water activities enjoyable, which can reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to overall mental wellness.
8. Prevents Muscle Atrophy
Hydrotherapy helps dogs maintain muscle mass and strength, especially for those with limited mobility or chronic conditions that can lead to muscle atrophy.
9. Tailored Rehabilitation for Injuries
Hydrotherapy sessions can be customized to target specific injuries or conditions, ensuring effective rehabilitation for dogs with torn ligaments, hip dysplasia, or neurological issues.
10. Improved Balance and Coordination
The controlled environment of hydrotherapy sessions helps dogs regain balance and coordination, especially after surgeries or injuries that affect motor skills.
