Our Mission
“Inspired by our reverence for the intrinsic bond between pets and humans, we focus on a skilled and intuitive approach to whole care that integrates our wide range of services.
Therefore enhancing the quality of life for those entrusted to us today, tomorrow and always.”
If your pet has undergone orthopedic surgery, sustained injury, suffers from obesity or has simply reached old-age, you might consider physical rehabilitation. 

At Sumner Veterinary Hospital, we can help build strength and cardiovascular endurance, accelerate and maximize recovery from surgery or injury, increase mobility and flexibility, decrease pain, prevent further injury, and help your pet return to normal function.  Dr. Sheeran or Dr. Uhler will provide your pet with a personalized program based on its individual needs and work with you, the owner, to help pave the road to your loved one's recovery.

CONDITIONS THAT BENEFIT FROM REHAB:

Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
Tendonitis
Hip Dysplasia
Elbow Dysplasia
Patellar Luxation
We offer may services which may be purchased individually or in packages, which are available at a discounted rate. Because the number of sessions needed will vary from case to case, we can work with you to decide what will be best for your pet. Below is a list of services to give you a better idea of what we can do for him or her.

Weight Loss:Does your pet want a little help shedding those extra pounds? A structured exercise program in our underwater treadmill might do the trick.
Spa Day:Our pets do so much for us, so why not treat yours to a relaxing massage or a splash in the warm water while enjoying peaceful strides on the treadmill.
