Specialized conditioning and rehabilitation for sport and working dogs — helping prevent injuries before they happen and supporting full recovery when they do.
Loco-Motion K9 was built on nearly three decades of hands-on veterinary and animal care experience, a deep love of dogs, and the belief that sport and working dogs deserve more than standard care — they deserve care built around who they are and what they do.
I have loved dogs my entire life. I have competed in dog sports for as long as I can remember, and somewhere along the way, caring for these animals stopped being just a passion and became my purpose. I have been working in the veterinary field since 1998, and every year I have spent in this industry has reinforced one thing: sport and working dogs are incredibly dedicated athletes, and they deserve care that actually reflects that. That is why I started Loco-Motion K9 Conditioning and Rehab.
