Matthew Brunke, DVM, DACVSMR, CCRP, CVPP, CVA: Sometimes there's not a rehab facility in your area, so [clients] have to send [their pets] far away. But the thing is, you can go and get rehab certified [and] your team can whether it's you hire a PT—if a state allows that—or fantastic technicians and even assistants can [get rehab certified] and our veterinarians [can] as well. So if you have trouble sending clients away for rehab, maybe that's a sign that your town, your community needs somebody to be their rehab advocate, and that should be you.
