Jack Russell
Small terriers, senior champions.
Jack Russells are our most senior breed group on average (17.7 years), and disc disease is what we see most. We’ve treated 54 across 796 visits.
Jack Russells are 1.8× more likely than the average RehabVet patient to come to us for IVDD (disc disease).
41% of the Jack Russells we treat — vs the clinic-wide average across 2,577 pets.

A Jack Russell's typical journey
These wiry terriers respond well to combined hydrotherapy, rehabilitation and TCVM, with hyperbaric oxygen for the toughest neurological cases.
The Jack Russells in our care
Learning to walk again
Dio arrived suddenly unable to use his hind legs after a disc injury. With a combined plan — rehab, hydrotherapy, TCVM Tui Na and supportive HBOT — he went from flat and unable to stand to walking, and back to 30-minute walks.
Is your Jack Russell slowing down?
Whether it's a sudden injury or the slow creep of age, the earlier we start, the more we can do. We'd love to help your Jack Russell move comfortably again.
