A Pomeranian's typical journey
Targeted physiotherapy and strengthening can improve a luxating patella grade without surgery, supported by hydrotherapy. Pain relief and TCVM help keep these little dogs comfortable.
The Pomeranians in our care
A kneecap that found its place
Mochi came in with a grade 3 luxating patella. With weekly physiotherapy and targeted strengthening — no surgery — his patella improved to grade 2, and his owners learned exercises to keep him steady at home.
