I’m a physical therapist who walks dogs at our local humane society. I am going to start working with a few dogs on a volunteer basis. This is an excellent reference book and a good resource for all canine PT. It’s fun to see some of our treatments used on dogs. Ex. dogs on a ball.

This book is a helpful adjunct to the coursework for Canine Rehab. Well laid out. Good appendices to help with treatment plans. For veterinary professionals clearly.

It’s wonderfully thorough, and has added much to the previous edition. I have every canine rehab text, and while they’re all complementary to each other, this is the most comprehensive one. The layout is easy to follow and they have added good coverage of basic physical therapy concepts- very helpful to me as a DVM. The authors have made all of these concepts clear and easy to apply to the variety of patients we see. It’s a really helpful, enjoyable resource to have on hand.
