Get Started

The initial appointment for evaluation takes approximately 2 hours. Prior to the appointment, a 5-page history form will be mailed to you. We ask that you take time to complete the form prior to your visit.

"Max began his rehab journey at Fitter Critters when he was 9 years old which was now 7 years ago. He had a CCL tear on his right hind limb. We worked very hard on his therapy and he was able to avoid surgery, and recover fully. Max has worked with almost every aquatic therapist Fitter Critters has had, and everyone has loved him. Max is now 16 years old and is still coming for his weekly aquatic therapy sessions, which has kept him strong and happy. I could not say enough about the compassion and care that all of the Fitter Critters staff have shown us over the years"
