Rehabilitation/Water Therapy

ASCS is pleased to offer a full rehab center on site, offering a full menu of veterinary rehabilitation and therapy services for surgical patients, as well as pets with chronic health issues or those in need of conditioning or weight loss. If you live outside the greater Seattle area and cannot return to our hospital for rehab, please ask us for a recommendation on rehabilitation services in your area.

A number of pet insurance companies now include rehabilitation in their core plan. Hydrotherapy, acupuncture and laser therapy are just a few of the treatment options that may be covered. Click below to see if your plan is on the list. Please inquire directly to your insurance company to determine benefit levels.
