Physical Rehabilitation

We are proud to offer rehabilitation services for both canine and feline patients under the care of Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP) / Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist (CCAT), Dr.Vicky Sempers.

Rehabilitation can support recovery and improve quality of life for patients with:

  • Post-operative orthopedic conditions

  • Soft tissue injuries

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Neurological conditions

  • Obesity and mobility challenges

Available modalities include underwater treadmill therapy, Class IV laser therapy, and customized at-home rehabilitation programs.

More advanced surgical/orthopedic and medical procedures are also offered at Grand Valley Animal Clinic, by our experienced veterinarians.These include:

  • Extracapsular repair of cranial cruciate injury

  • Correction of patella luxation

  • Femoral head osteotomy and limb amputations

  • Chemotherapy

Endoscopy Services

We offer endoscopy as a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic option for referred patients. This technique utilizes a flexible camera to allow direct visualization of internal structures in real time, supporting accurate diagnosis and, in some cases, immediate intervention.

Endoscopy is commonly used to evaluate and assist in the management of:

  • Gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., chronic vomiting, foreign bodies, biopsies)

  • Respiratory conditions

  • Urinary and reproductive tract concerns

  • Ear, nose, and throat conditions

Endoscopy is considered a safe and effective procedure and can be an excellent alternative to exploratory surgery inappropriate cases. We are happy to discuss case suitability and timing to ensure optimal patient care.

How to Refer

We aim to make the referral process as simple as possible:

  • Endoscopy & Surgical/Orthopedic Referrals:
    Email patient history, diagnostics (including radiographs), and details of the requested procedure to info@gvac.ca, along with your preferred timeframe.

If you would like to discuss a case prior to referral, we are always happy to connect.
