about the practice
Red Rover Rehab was established to fulfill a huge need for home physical therapy and acupuncture for your companions. It is extremely stressful and oftentimes useless to try to take an animal out of its home to any type of an appointment. This allows us to provide your pet with the best care possible in their own home and safe environment. No precarious car trips and stressed out visits in an unfamiliar setting. We bring the care to you.
