Services We Provide
Let AZ Canine Fitness Design the Perfect Program For Your Dog!
We customize each therapy program based on your dog’s individual needs, as well as your available time and budget
Strength & Conditioning
Canine Fitness Training focuses on five aspects of canine total health: Strength, Flexibility, Balance, Cardiorespiratory and Mental Endurance. Canine Fitness Training is for dogs of ALL ages and stages!
Therapeutic Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a low-impact treatment that can help to improve strength, range of motion and endurance. Water minimizes stress to the joints, which helps prevent injuries, inflammation and pain.
Puppy & Senior Programs
Fitness can help a young dog build their strength as they grow. It can improve the quality of life for an older dog, whether they struggle with mobility or you are just looking to keep them active and healthy.
Rehab & Injury Management
Rehabilitation Therapy is a course of treatments to improve pain reduction, healing, and function when sick, injured, recovering, or aging. It is also beneficial for dogs that are not candidates for surgery.
Massage Therapy
Through direct work on a dog’s soft tissues, canine massage can improve blood flow, alleviate stress, reduce pain, relax tight and sore muscles, and help heal sprains and strains.
Weight Loss Program
Obesity can take up to 2 years off the lifespan of our furry friends and over 30% of dogs are overweight! With just a 6% reduction in weight we can see pain relief equal to that of a prescription drug!
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment promotes healing, reduces pain, and improves mobility for pets suffering from injuries, arthritis, neurological conditions or post-surgical recovery.
Laser Acupuncture
This advanced treatment combines the principles of traditional acupuncture with modern cold laser technology to promote rapid healing and enhance your dog's well-being.
Let’s give your dog more years!
