When my dog, Max, was diagnosed with a CCL tear, I felt overwhelmed. The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is essentially the canine version of the human ACL, and a tear in this ligament can be debilitating for dogs. Max, once full of energy and always chasing squirrels in the backyard, could barely put weight on his hind leg. Surgery was one option, but recovery would be long and uncertain without proper rehabilitation. That’s when I discovered Canine PT and Me.
From our very first session, I knew we were in good hands. The team at Canine PT and Me was compassionate, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in dealing with injuries like CCL tear in dogs. They explained the healing process in a way I could understand, and laid out a clear plan involving laser therapy, hydrotherapy, and targeted exercises to help Max regain his strength and mobility.
Each week brought small but noticeable improvements. Max’s limp grew less pronounced, and he began to bear weight on his leg again. The personalized care plan and the one-on-one attention made all the difference. What stood out most was how much they cared—not just about Max’s physical progress, but his emotional well-being too.
Today, Max is back to his energetic self, and we owe that recovery to the dedication and expertise of Canine PT and Me. I’ve learned that a CCL tear in dogs doesn’t have to mean the end of an active life. With the right physical therapy, support, and patience, dogs can bounce back stronger than ever.
If your pet is struggling with an injury, especially something as serious as a CCL tear, I can’t recommend Canine PT and Me enough. They don’t just treat your dog—they partner with you on the road to recovery.
