Helping Pets Move Better, Feel Better – Rehabilitation at Vetwest Whitfords
At Vetwest Whitfords, we believe every pet deserves to live a comfortable, active, and happy life. Whether they’re recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or simply slowing down with age, our rehabilitation services are here to support them every step of the way.
What is rehabilitation for pets?
Veterinary rehabilitation is much like physiotherapy for people. It focuses on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring strength through tailored treatment plans designed specifically for your pet.
Rehabilitation can make a meaningful difference in your pet’s quality of life—helping them move more freely, recover faster, and enjoy the things they love for longer.
How can rehab help your pet?
Rehabilitation can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Recovery after surgery (such as orthopaedics or spinal procedures)
- Arthritis and age-related mobility changes
- Soft tissue injuries (muscle, ligament, or tendon injuries)
Even small improvements in mobility can have a big impact on your pet’s comfort and wellbeing.
Meet Dr Susan Hill
We are proud to offer this service right here at Whitfords with Dr Susan Hill, who has a special interest and advanced qualifications in rehabilitation.

A team approach to care

We understand that every pet (and every family) is different, so we tailor our plans to suit your lifestyle and your pet’s individual needs.
Supporting your pet’s journey
If your pet is recovering from surgery, showing signs of stiffness, or you’ve simply noticed they’re not moving quite like they used to, rehabilitation could make a real difference.
We’re here to help your pet stay active, comfortable, and enjoying life.
