Complete Advanced Recovery Extended Stay

 

Midwest Veterinary Specialists is proud to offer comprehensive post-operative recovery, nursing care, physical rehabilitation, and athletic conditioning for our patients through our C.A.R.E.S. program. You can trust our experienced staff to provide exceptional round-the-clock care to restore comfort, function, and performance for your pet.

Comprehensive post-operative care

Let our team care for your pet after surgery! While recovering in comfortable clean kennels and runs, they will be under the close watch of dedicated C.A.R.E.S. nursing staff around the clock.

Our team will ensure that they are getting all of the medications, therapy, and T.L.C. that they need for a successful recovery. We provide close monitoring to ensure they are recovering well and to identify and treat any concerns right away. Basic physical therapy begins after surgery and continues throughout their stay. Advanced rehabilitation therapy with Dr. Jen Lorenz can be added in for an additional cost.

Intensive rehabilitation therapy We offer extended in-patient rehabilitation therapy for pets whether they have had surgery or not. We customize the therapy program to their needs and focus on building strength and confidence while under the close watch of our doctors and C.A.R.E.S. nursing staff. This intensive therapy often results in faster recoveries!
"Extend the Stay, Advance the Recovery." Conditioning We can develop and monitor intensive in-patient conditioning programs for canine athletes after injury or when gearing up for competition or hunting season. Whether focusing on strength training or cardiovascular conditioning, multiple sessions of exercises per day can really help get your trusty companion ready for action!
