There’s a reason veterinarians refer their patients for physical rehabilitation. It works! A well-designed rehabilitation program developed and implemented by credentialed veterinary professionals can help in even the most challenging cases. Improving quality of life through better mobility and reduced pain is always the goal. At BEVS, patients are enjoying success through a variety of modalities. And most are having fun too!
