Ever wondered what happens when your beloved pet faces mobility challenges? Meet Cassie Swafford, founder of Walking Paws Rehab, who's revolutionizing pet healthcare through specialized veterinary rehabilitation.

When dogs tear their CCL (the canine equivalent of a human ACL) or develop arthritis, many pet parents feel helpless. Walking Paws Rehab offers hope through comprehensive physical therapy tailored specifically for animals. Contrary to popular belief, pet rehabilitation extends far beyond underwater treadmills. Cassie and her team provide manual therapy, massage, stretching, custom orthotics, prosthetics, and targeted exercise programs—all designed to keep pets moving comfortably throughout their lives.

The practice serves two primary groups of patients: those recovering from acute injuries or surgeries, and aging pets experiencing declining mobility. For some patients, rehabilitation becomes an alternative to surgery; for others, it's crucial post-operative care. Most touchingly, Cassie's work with senior pets focuses on maintaining quality of life and comfort during their golden years. "We're really focused on keeping them comfortable and pain-free and moving as well as they can for as long as they can," shares Cassie, whose background as a human physical therapist uniquely positions her to understand both the technical and emotional aspects of rehabilitation.

What drives Cassie's passion? The profound desire to help animals continue doing what they love while strengthening the bond between pets and their humans. Whether you're referred by your veterinarian or seeking alternatives for your pet's mobility challenges, Walking Paws Rehab welcomes you.
