Do I need a referral from my primary veterinarian?
REHABILITATION & ACUPUNCTURE PATIENTS: I feel it is important to work collaboratively with your regular veterinarian to ensure a cohesive care plan. While a formal referral isn't always required, sharing medical records and recent diagnostics is essential for the best outcomes.
Approval from a veterinary surgeon is required on any recent (within 12 months) post-operative surgical patients.
FITNESS PROGRAMS: A veterinary medical release may be required depending on your dog's underlying health and results of my initial assessment.
Obtaining a veterinary medical release is recommended in all dogs to ensure safety.
