Medical Fitness is exercise for your pet’s body and mind

Ruff Day’s Medical Fitness service is a customized, doctor-directed clinical exercise program. Exercise regimens are personalized to address any neurological and/or physiological impairments that your pet may have. These exercises tend to focus on building balance, strength, and endurance. Just like a good exercise program for humans, having a structured fitness plan for your pet helps improve their mental and physical health, improves energy levels and overall mood, and having an in-shape body helps prevent injuries and illnesses. 

Some of the exercises I do with pets should only be performed by a skilled therapist, but many are safe enough with sufficient benefit to be taught to pet owners as part of the home exercise program.

This program is not for everybody! With any human fitness program, like it or not, we get out of it what we put into it. The difference for our pets is that they get out of it what we, their human caretakers, put into it. This program is ideally suited to people who have a strong dedication to improving their pet’s physical health and well-being, extending their pet’s life and healthspan, and are willing to dedicate 10-20 minutes every single day to following a customized exercise plan for their pet, with semi-regular in-home training sessions with the doctor. 

*Ruff Day’s Medical Fitness program is separate from all other services, and separate charges apply. Some pets will benefit from a Veterinarian-directed, customized fitness plan without needing Ruff Day’s other pain-relieving services, while other pets will benefit from both services.
