Post-Operative Orthopedic Recovery Support (TPLO)
Steady, hands-on help through the weeks after surgery
Recovery from a torn CCL is long, and the details matter every day.
Having cared for clients' dogs through TPLO recovery, we know how demanding those weeks can be; Strict confinement, careful mobility, and the Veterinarian's rehab plan that must be followed exactly. We begin with a consultation before surgery to make sure you and your home are ready, then start the day your pup comes home, visiting every weekday for 8 weeks. This is a 8-week service, billed weekly or paid in full when service begins.
An 8 week path, day by day.
