My 4yr old Frenchton had surgery to correct her luxating patella. Throughout the three weeks after surgery she would toe-touch, but ultimately refused to use her hind leg for normal use. Her progress after just one session was huge. She consistently used her hind leg and was able to regain confidence and strength in that leg. During her follow-up visit with the surgeon, he was extremely pleased and surprised by her progress. She is currently back to her normal self, zooming all over the yard. The staff was fantastic and treated her like she was part of the family.

My German shepherd, Kelby, has been coming to Alpha Animal Rehabilitation and Fitness for over two years for his physical therapy to help with his weakened back legs and back The staff works well with him. They are knowledgeable and concerned with his needs. They work on Kelby to help maintain his muscles and give me exercises to help him at home. They ask every week how he is doing so they know where to concentrate on his workout. They give me suggestions to help Kelby with his personal challenges. They’ve become like a second family to us, and I would definitely recommend their services.

It is a pleasure to write this review. Almost five years ago, my dog Crackerjack (Jack for short) awoke paralyzed in both rear legs due to a ruptured disc in his spine. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Alpha ARF, six months later he was walking again. Week after week, month after month, they moved his rear legs on the underwater treadmill, mimicking his stride, to help him develop new neural pathways for walking. They have him exercises, massages, and electromagnetic and laser treatments. Once he was walking on his own, they added appropriate obstacle courses to further develop his muscles, balance, and agility. Everything they did was tailored to his changing needs. Here we are, years later, and Jack is thriving. To maintain his abilities, we continue our weekly PT sessions, and the staff are every bit as kind and caring and attentive to his needs as when we first met. They answer my questions, share their knowledge, and offer advice and suggestions about his therapy. I always look forward to being there, and the proof of the pudding is that Jack loves it too. He can't wait to get in the door! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm a first time dog owner and my 9-month-old puppy had to have his femoral head removed in May. My little sweetie Bowie has been going to this facility for rehabilitation and to progress his mend to the point of full capability to run, jump and play. The dedication of Anthony and Tammy has been nothing less than fantastic. 4 months post surgery and Bowie doing great. I am so thankful for this business to be available in Warren county!

My 12 year old Westie was having severe problems with her back legs and hips. She was in a lot of pain due to arthritis. Medicine only helped a little but the staff zeroed right in on a course of treatment that has changed her life dramatically. We have our Bailey back!

We brought our 12 year old yellow lab Gracie to Alpha Animal Rehabilitation and Fitness for some "wheels" to help her get around more easily with a lame left rear leg. From the moment we met Nora & Anthony we knew we were in excellent hands. They knew the emotions associated with watching our dog age and were incredibly gentle and patient. Nora examined her back legs and was able to determine that Gracie still had feeling in her left leg - which was "a good sign". Once fitted with the harness they helped Grace up and handed her over to us so we could understand how to best help Grace get around and gain confidence...and in the process helped us gain confidence as well. I would highly recommend this amazing team and should we ever need the services of another rehab center, we wouldn't hesitate to reconnect with these amazing humans!

Alpha Animal Rehabilitation did, and continues to do, a phenomenal job with my dog, Gunner. They helped a concerned mom have confidence that her pup would be able to regain mobility, strength, and stamina with their careful rehabilitation. They have been with him every step of the way in getting him comfortable with the equipment and therapies and are truly devoted to his care. Every member of the staff treats the animals in their care as their own, which is a true hallmark of a professional facility. As the owner of a business myself, I understand and commend the hours of work they put in and I'm very grateful for their endeavors.

Staff was great and I was so happy to see my old pup feeling better in the walking tank. After debating if it was right for her, we brought my 14 yr old dog here. Her leg has some issues and we are fitting a brace (this place isn't expensive but the brace is. You should know if you need one. But not everyone will) I really wish we did this sooner. She slept so soundly last night after her first rehab appointment. We are going back Wednesday. Everyone was super friendly and kind to the dogs.
