Marlie's hip dysplasia and arthritis was so bad that the vet recommended a hip replacement, which is about $15,000 here in Australia.
At the time Marlie was only 1 year old and her mumma wanted to try something before having to put her baby girl through major surgery!
Her mumma did targeted strengthening exercises at home for a few months and Marlie:
- rebuilt muscle around her hips
- needed less pain medication
- moved easier
- didn't need surgery!
Using exercise therapy saved Marlie's mum $15,000.
And I see this happening too often. Pet parents are choosing to go straight into surgery without trying exercise therapy first.
But trying exercise therapy can save you $$ and decrease everyone's stress but postponing, or avoiding, surgery.
This is why I created The Dog Rehab App. To give pet parents more choice and control over conditions that might need surgery, by providing easy home exercises that work.
