The Dogs That Can podcast is about what you can do to help your dog get moving again after injury or illness. Sarah Mackeigan, your host and canine rehab therapist is passionate about empowering pet parents (aka owners) to be engaged members of their dog’s mobility team. Many dog parents are unaware of the options available to them beyond medication, rest, and/or surgery when their dog is injured. The aim of this podcast is to provide up to date, credible, and understandable information from rehab and wellness experts from around the globe, helping us all learn while instilling hope of what is possible. You can learn more about Sarah and find additional resources at upwarddogrehab.com or within the Living with Dogs with Disabilities Facebook group which is a supportive and informative community.
