Injury Recovery and Why Your Dog Isn't Getting Better
In the very first episode of the Dogs That Can podcast, host Sarah MacKeigan, a seasoned canine rehab therapist, introduces listeners to the world of canine rehabilitation, sharing personal experiences and professional insights to help dogs get back on their feet again. Sharing her personal journey with her dog's CCL tears and later in life, degenerative myelopathy, Sarah explains why conventional rest and medication approaches may not always suffice for injury recovery. This episode emphasizes movement is medicine, exploring alternatives to surgery with conservative management and the pivotal role of canine rehab (dog physio). Sarah shares her goal of building a community that supports dogs with disabilities and aims to empower dog ‘parents’ with the knowledge to advocate for their canine companions by providing reliable information from global experts in canine rehab and wellness, and sharing uplifting stories from other pet parents.
