What pet parents are saying about our canine rehab...

"Dr. Macke and Emily are patient teachers and don't hesitate to find an alternate exercise or modification if the exercise is not working for the animal or something the owner can't manage. Anchor loved her time at Macke and charged through the door for each session, eager to show off her skills. They offer a great portal that helps you reference videos and instructions on the exercises, and you will always have access even when your sessions are done. It's an investment well worth making!"​
