Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about veterinary rehabilitation referrals, session expectations, and pet insurance coverage.
Yes, in most cases we require a referral from your primary care veterinarian to ensure we have your pet's complete medical history, surgical reports, X-rays, and can coordinate their care safely and effectively. No referral? Call us and we'll advise you on the next step.
Initial assessments take 60 minutes. Follow-up treatment sessions typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's specific needs, condition, and stamina.
Absolutely! We strongly encourage owners to be present during sessions. It keeps your pet calm and comfortable, and allows us to teach you gentle home care and massage techniques.
Some pet insurance policies cover physiotherapy and hydrotherapy when your vet recommends it — check your policy. We provide itemised receipts you can submit to your insurer.
Every case is unique. Post-surgical patients usually benefit from a 6 to 8-week block (1-2 times weekly), while chronic conditions like arthritis often shift into bi-weekly or monthly maintenance once stabilized.
Your pet is introduced to our indoor pool gradually, never rushed, with a dedicated hydrotherapist in the water alongside them and a flotation aid where it helps. Water temperature is kept at a soothing 29-31°C (84-88°F), and treats/praise are used throughout.
