Therapy Services at ATC

Helping pets move better, feel better and stay active.

If your pet is sore, slowing down, recovering from surgery, slipping, limping or having trouble getting around, Animal Therapy Center can help.

Every pet starts with an evaluation. Dr. Nixon uses that visit to understand your pet’s comfort, movement, strength, medical history and goals before creating an individualized therapy plan.

Not sure what your pet needs? That’s okay. The evaluation helps Dr. Nixon decide which services fit your pet best.

How ATC Helps

One evaluation. Many possible tools.

There is no picking a service. The evaluation helps Dr. Nixon understand what is going on and builds an individualized therapy plan.

01
Start Here

Evaluation first

We look at comfort, movement, strength, medical history, home life and your pet’s goals before recommending care.

02
Plan

Services are selected for your pet

Your pet may need one service or a combination of services depending on what the evaluation shows.

03
Support

Progress is adjusted over time

As your pet changes, the therapy plan can be adjusted to support comfort, mobility, strength and confidence.
