About Us
Michiana Animal Rehabilitation Services is composed of a small team of passionate veterinary professionals with a strong love for the physical and mental well-being of all our patients. We offer physical rehabilitation services in order to increase the quality of life for your pet. Whether that be aiding in recovery from surgery, managing pain or loss of strength or mobility. For the canine athlete in your life, we offer strength and conditioning programs to help increase their performance while decreasing risk of injury. We will work closely with pet parents and their primary veterinarian to help improve each pet’s life as best we can.
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen the human animal bond through the physical wellbeing of both you and your pet. We will strive to offer the most up-to-date rehabilitative care by staying abreast of the most recent advancements in our field, to support and educate our pet parents, and advocate for the animals trusted in our care.
We aim to treat our patients as though they are our own pets, and to treat our clients as though they are a part of our family.
We will achieve this by providing the highest quality of rehabilitative care to our patients, superior service to our clients and community, and a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone in an atmosphere filled with compassion, honesty, and respect.
