Do you replace primary veterinary care?
​
No.
CARE functions as a collaborative extension of your practice. We do not provide wellness care or general practice services. Your clinic remains the primary medical provider.
​
Will pets receive treatment at their first visit?
​
In many cases, yes. Unless contraindicated, we can start a pet's treatment immediately following the evaluation.
​
Can I request specific therapies?
​
Absolutely.
You may recommend specific modalities or allow our integrative veterinarian to determine the most appropriate plan based on your goals and the patient's needs.
​
How will I receive updates?
​
We provide clear, timely communication with an initial visit summary, progress updates if any changes are indicated, and a discharge summary at completion.
​
Additional updates are available upon request.
​
Can you co-manage long term chronic cases?
​
Yes.
We commonly partner with primary veterinarians on long-term mobility, neurologic, and chronic pain cases.
​
Do you provide home exercise plans?
​
Yes.
If able, patients are provided with individualized instructions to support progress between sessions.
​
How do you handle anxious, mobility-limited, or special-needs patients?
​
We prioritize gentle, low-stress handling and adapt each session to the patient's comfort and abilities.
Please inform us of any behavior or mobility considerations so we can plan accordingly.
​
How do clients schedule after I refer them?
​
Pet parents may call, text, email, or request that we contact them proactively - whatever makes scheduling easiest for them!
