Poodle

Singapore’s most-treated breed at RehabVet.

Poodles — toy, miniature and standard — are the breed we see most. Across 289 Poodles and 3,940 visits, the pattern is clear: backs and knees. Disc disease (IVDD) and luxating patella bring most Poodles through our doors.

The plan

A Poodle's typical journey

Most Poodles do best on a combined plan of warm-water hydrotherapy and land-based rehabilitation, often with TCVM Tui Na or pain relief alongside. A typical Poodle stays with us for around 15 sessions as we rebuild strength and protect the spine.

A recovery we love

Learning to walk again

IVDD / spinal · multi-modal

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 Poodle 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 Poodle move comfortably again.
