Corgi
The hip dysplasia breed.
If one breed defines a condition at RehabVet, it’s the Corgi and hip dysplasia — 39% of the Corgis we treat, about 3.9× the clinic average. Their long backs also make disc disease a concern.
Corgis are 3.9× more likely than the average RehabVet patient to come to us for Hip dysplasia.
39% of the Corgis we treat — vs the clinic-wide average across 2,577 pets.

A Corgi's typical journey
Hydrotherapy is the cornerstone of Corgi care — building the muscle that supports unstable hips without the impact of land exercise — with rehabilitation and fitness swimming. The average Corgi completes around 17 sessions.
The Corgis in our care
Ten years of staying ahead of it
Diagnosed with hip dysplasia as a pup, this patient began rehab early. Now ten, the condition has not deteriorated — proof of how early, consistent care changes the long arc of joint disease.
