Denver & Boulder, CO Pet Rehab & Pain Relief

We are forever indebted to the entire team at Walking Paws Rehab. Our large dog had a horrific complication post ACL surgery (his second in months), and literally could not walk. We knew we needed help! In one assessment they were able to help direct and guide us through a rehab protocol that had our dog taking steps, and now walking. I don't even know how to describe the care and expertise of the regular visits with Dr. Erica and her team of vet techs. We have our dog back...who has a full and vital life ahead of him after what we thought was a time that he would never be able to live a normal and regular walking life again. Thank you to the entire team. We've moved, but the lasting memories of the work that Dr. Erica and her team provided had me referring everyone that I knew. This is the most expertise we have ever found in Boulder CO.

Every single person at Walking Paws is incredible! I have been so floored at how kind and passionate everyone has been in the rehabilitation of my sweet pup. You simply cannot go wrong seeing any of the doctors or assistants for your pets’ care- they are all consistently compassionate and driven to make steady progress (bonus- they make it so accessible to the owners)! Our dog Winston was in a rough place when we were recommended to Walking Paws from our emergency vet. I was initially skeptical- I had not ever heard of someone taking their dog to physical therapy. But it really has worked WONDERS- I’m amazed every time I come in! The combination of professional knowledge and warm hearts that are present at Walking Paws have gotten Winston and I through an injury that I thought would be devastating and life-altering. I cannot recommend them enough and I trust them implicitly! If you are looking for a rehab facility for your baby- look no further and rest assured that you will receive the best care!

Walking Paws has been the greatest resource we have found in helping our 14+ year old dog Jack with challenges of getting old. The facility is beautiful, homey, and welcoming. Someone always greets you at the door and helps get you situated. The doctors and therapists are ALL so incredibly nice, compassionate, and are beyond competent and knowledgeable with what they do. We have a primary doctor/therapist we see, Dr. Erica, but have seen almost all of the others at one visit or another. They truly are all great. They can seamlessly assume care for your pet based on the detailed records they keep. And having the option to see various therapists makes it very easy to get an appointment. Sometimes we scheduled a ways out but other times we call and can get in the next day with someone. The initial assessment we had for Jack was two hours of extremely comprehensive evaluation and testing, and some initial therapy. I felt 110% confident we made the right choice in going there before the evaluation was even over. Jack has gotten acupuncture, red light therapy, ultrasound, uses the water treadmill, gets massage, and does exercise! All of these are part of the price you pay for a therapy session, not add-ons. Many helpful products have been recommended to help us help Jack on a daily basis, such as a special harness and toe grips. I know that therapy has been helping Jack, and seeing him do well and come out of therapy happy (probably because he gets lots of peanut butter and treats) sure makes me feel a little more at ease about navigating life with a senior dog.

There are not enough words to thank the team at Walking Paws Rehab. Our cat Cheese fractured his femur and had an FHO surgery to remove the femoral head. 1 month post-op he wasn’t walking well with a lot of atrophy in his leg, so we brought him to Walking Paws. Anysia at the front is always so welcoming and very thorough at explaining the whole scheduling/billing process. Dr. Allison and Dr. Courtney are incredible. They are both smart, kind, and innovative - it’s not always easy rehabbing a cat and they know how to adapt to the needs of your pet. 4 months later our cat is walking and jumping normally with no signs of pain or muscle atrophy. We are FOREVER grateful to the entire team at Walking Paws for helping our sweet Cheese get back to living his best life!

We love the people at Walking Paws! When my partner and I ended up taking home a paralyzed foster puppy, we had no idea what we were doing. The doctors at Walking Paws were able to do an extensive orthopedic and neurologic exam to identify Darla's issues and then they worked as a team and with us to be able to provide Darla with the highest quality of care. They taught us everything from range of motion exercises to more advanced neurological stimulation exercises to do at home. Darla was going to Walking Paws twice weekly for months and there, she was receiving consistent water treadmill therapy and laser therapy amongst other things. Darla was a relatively anxious COVID-puppy but she knew everyone at Walking Paws and was very excited to go and see all of her best friends. She also loved their selection of peanut butters and treats. The doctors at Walking Paws were able to get Darla situated with the perfect wheelchairs for her as she grew and developed. They stayed with us through all of the trials and tribulations as we learned how to best take care of a paralyzed dog. And, what's more, they sincerely cared about Darla AND us. We feel so lucky to know the wonderful team at Walking Paws and are so thankful to have them available for all of our pets' rehab needs.

EXTRAORDINARY! Dr. Bradleigh Vahl is incredible! Not only has she taken great care of my Jackson, but she is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches, and care for her patients as she does. Jackson (our highly active rescue) tore his CCL and had to have TPLO surgery. Our Vet recommended Walking Paws in Boulder. And I am so GLAD she did! We have been seeing Dr. Bradleigh since May 27th, 2025 (almost 4 months) and Jackson is back to completely running and jumping as if he never had surgery. Dr. Bradleigh is very thorough and detailed when she documents each visit. She is very informed and knowledgeable with the latest and greatest technologies in the healing and therapeutic procedures of today. Her expertise and compassion have truly made a significant difference in Jackson’s health. She consistently goes above and beyond, ensuring our visits not only meet but often exceeds our expectations. All the young ladies at the front desk are extremely helpful with any questions/concerns and have always been very accommodating with finding a room when we are early! Thank you, Ladies! I have had “many” pets, and seen numerous doctors over the years, Dr. Bradleigh is one of the BEST I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Thank you Dr. Bradleigh!

I'm literally writing with tears in my eyes because this place is the best and has helped my pug with IVDD so much. My pug had a flare today, a Saturday, and Dr. Amelia has been in contact with me multiple times even though I believe she's off today. Dr. Cassie, Dr. Amelia, and the whole staff have been absolute gems. They are incredibly skilled and talented and deeply care about their patients. My pug loves coming and feels great afterwards. TYSM!

I can’t express enough how incredible this place is. Been to a few other dog rehab places, and there’s no comparison. Walking paws is so accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. Our pup had a brachial plexus injury at 6 months old. Now at 2 years old after non-stop complications - He’s not the best with other dogs and has noticeable anxiety, and a complicated orthopedic history. All of which makes handling him and seeing physical progress a heavy endeavor. Despite all that - the entire staff at Walking Paws is so patient, caring, encouraging - and they’re efforts have made a massive difference in our dogs progress, in a remarkably a short period of time. Can’t recommend them enough. Shout out to Courtney - she’s always engaged and a great listener/totally un-phased by our nut-case of dog that we love so much.

Walking Paws has been helping my senior coonhound mix with medial shoulder instability for almost two months now following PRP injections she had in March. We go in weekly to see Kerry and Cassie for shock wave, massage, utlrasound, and phsyical therapy. They also help us make sure her hobbles device is fitted properly and give us guidance on medications. We have treated this injury in the past several times now, and have by now seen many specialists. I have found Walking Paws to be the most knowledgable and thorough of everyone we have seen, and I appreciate especially since Bella is almost 13, they consider all of her orthopedic challenges and full medical history (it's extensive!) when treating her. They are very responsive and communicate well. I appreciate that we don't feel rushed at appointments and I feel that they truly want to do everything they can to help her get better. I feel that their prices are very competitive, especially for how many treatments and services you are able to get during one appointment!

Phenomenal staff and care for our dog Lucy, a 9.5 year old black lab/pitbull mix! She had a back injury that left her temporarily paralyzed in her hind legs/tail. The vets recommended surgery which would be in the neighborhood of $12,000.00. Walking Paws created a home care program for us to help her rehabilitate and had us bring her in for therapy sessions. After 5 sessions so far, Lucy is starting to walk again. Thank you Dr. Wheeler and all the amazing staff for helping us! Highly recommend.

I am so, so lucky that my vet suggested this place. The facility is beautiful, warm, inviting, and so clean, especially considering all the furry friends that come through! The folks at Walking Paws really care about your pets. They see my cat and have since August. Everybody is wonderful and absurdly compassionate. His PT Kerry really adapts to his needs. He’s a shy guy, but she works to his comfort level, which has made him feel so safe there. Because he’s a cat, he requires a different kind of cajoling, and Kerry works to his strengths. Beyond that, Kerry and the folks at Walking Paws communicate well with the rest of my cat’s team, which makes his care on my end easy, straightforward, and comprehensive. I’m so appreciative of the care that they provide. I highly recommend Walking Paws to anybody with a cat who has arthritis, is recovering from a surgery, or anything else! Great team!

Walking Paws is the best. When our dog, Chai, was diagnosed with a partial CCL tear our usual vet suggested some anti-inflammatories and rest, surgery if that didn't work. I started doing some research to explore other options and I found Orthopets braces where Danyel is a "partner clinic". THANK GOD we did.
