FAQ

Dog physical therapy: your questions answered

How much does dog physical therapy cost in Abu Dhabi?
Pricing varies depending on your dog's individual needs and whether an initial assessment or follow-up appointment is required. Please get in touch for current pricing, availability, and recommendations based on your dog's condition.
Does dog physical therapy actually work?
Yes — veterinary physiotherapy is an evidence-based discipline used worldwide alongside veterinary care. Outcomes are strongest when treatment is consistent, paired with a home exercise plan, and started early after diagnosis or surgery. We track progress at every visit and adjust the plan.
How long does a course of dog physiotherapy take?
Every dog is different. The number and frequency of sessions will depend on your dog's condition, medical history, response to treatment, and individual goals. Some dogs may only require a small number of sessions, while others benefit from ongoing physiotherapy support. Following assessment, a tailored treatment and review plan will be discussed.
Is there a hydrotherapy alternative if I can't travel to a pool?
Yes. Land-based rehabilitation — controlled exercise, manual therapy, laser, PEMF and proprioceptive work — can replicate many of the strength and mobility gains of hydrotherapy, and we deliver it at your home anywhere in Abu Dhabi.
Do I need a vet referral?
Veterinary consent may be required depending on your dog's condition and medical history. Dogs recovering from injury or surgery, undergoing veterinary investigation, or presenting with neurological signs will typically require veterinary involvement before physiotherapy can commence. Where appropriate, we work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure treatment is safe, effective, and aligned with your dog's overall care plan.
Where in Abu Dhabi do you cover?
We are fully mobile across Abu Dhabi city, Al Raha, Khalifa City, Yas, Saadiyat, Al Reem, Mohammed Bin Zayed City and surrounding areas. Get in touch with your location and we will confirm coverage.
Can physiotherapy benefit puppies and young dogs?
Yes. Physiotherapy may benefit growing dogs, particularly those predisposed to orthopaedic conditions or requiring support with strength, coordination, and movement development. Early assessment can also help identify movement asymmetries and compensatory patterns before they become more significant concerns.
