Welcome to Fitter Critters

Fitter Critters provides physical rehabilitation and indoor aquatic programs for dogs.

Reasonably priced programs are created with the intention of bringing each dog

to their highest functional and performance level.

Our Story

Fitter Critters was founded in 1999 by Jody Chiquoine as one of the first canine rehabilitation clinics in the Northeast, specializing in hydrotherapy, and mobility recovery for dogs. The clinic has helped countless pups regain strength, overcome injuries, and improve their quality of life. Now led by Sunny Kasala, Fitter Critters continues its mission to keep dogs healthy, active, and happy.

What We Do

Fitter Critters provides affordable rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, conditioning, and fun fitness programs to help dogs recover, stay active, and thrive. We also provide education for owners, ensuring the best care for every canine companion.

Get Started

The initial appointment to start rehabilitation includes an evaluation that takes approximately 1.5 hours. Prior to the appointment, a history form will be emailed to you. We ask that you take time to complete the form prior to your visit. All dogs require a veterinary referral.

"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"
