Saint Petersburg-based, Tampa Bay K9 Rehabilitation Center, housed within Central Animal Hospital, was established in March 2004 as the first full-service canine rehabilitation center in the Saint Petersburg/Tampa Bay area. Our rehabilitation center is a 500 square foot facility that offers Central Florida pet owners individualized rehabilitation plans. Our goal is to help injured, post-surgical, and arthritic dogs recover to live less painful, more active lifestyles.

Dogs show signs of pain in weird ways sometimes. They typically get sluggish while trying to push through an injury. If you notice something may be wrong with your dog, hydrotherapy could help. This form of therapy allows dogs to rebuild muscle tone in a comfortable environment. There is less weight put onto joints when you’re in the water. This eases some of the pressure and pains your furry friend may endure during therapy. The benefits include reduced pain, improved mobility, and increased energy. Just because your dog is aging doesn’t mean they need to slow down. With just a few health improvements, your dog could have their “puppy” personality back. Furthermore, this kind of therapy offers a fun alternative compared to normal forms.
