  • "I love taking my dogs to Pawsitive Strides!I Dr. Peterson is very knowledgeable and very thorough. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable too. Thanks to Dr. Peterson I have a very active 9 year old lab and my 5 year old lab is on a healthy path for a long and active life too!"

  • "Our dog has had 4 surgeries and 5 injuries in the last 9 months. We found out he had a growth defect and required a series of surgeries for a better quality of life. He has been going to Pawsitive Strides for a few weeks now and I’m shocked at the improvements he has made. For the 1.5 years we have had him he has never gone up the stairs. Either he circled endlessly and leapt, or we had to carry him. Yesterday he walked up the stairs normally on his own. I credit PS with this progress and can’t wait to see how he continues on this journey. Their vet, vet techs and staff are incredible and truly passionate about animals."

  • "I have great experiences with Pawsitive Strides. I have three older animals, two dogs and one cat. All have had treatments because of arthritis and other joint and muscle issues. All have responded to well to treatments, and there is a noticeable change in their ability to move around and their comfort level. Regular treatments have greatly improved their quality of life."

  • "The staff at Pawsitive Strides was fantastic! Scout is a very energetic dog, especially since she is injured and on "rest." They took her energy in stride and worked with her, not against her. Scout loved going there and seeing everyone and they also answered all my questions with ease, no matter how ridiculous they were! Hopefully we have to never visit Pawsitive Strides again, but if the need does arise I know we will be in excellent hands!!!"

  • "Pawsitive Strides does such a great job. Highly skilled and loves every dog as if it as their own. We do ongoing therapy with my dog, and it has made her stronger, healthier and happier. I recommend them so highly. They are the best."

  • "Caring and professional pet rehabilitation services. Helping pets get back to a healthier life. What a great way to condition a show dog. Lily loves coming there as much as Little Guy did. Thank you for loving our Poms and making them love you for the fun and attention you give them."
    Bonnie H.
  • "Love this place and so does my dog. The staff member's are always super kind, caring and knowledgeable! I love how calming the place is for the dogs and my dog loves how they never run out of treats!"
    Casey S.
  • "The team at Pawsitive Strides is incredible! You can expect a high-quality, experienced team who will provide your pet with love and affection while helping them heal/strengthen. Their hearts are in their work and it shows. Our dog has made an incredible transformation in a short time thanks to everyone there. He couldn't walk on his own when he first arrived, and now he's running and playing like it's nothing! We are incredibly thankful for the time, energy, love, and resources this team has poured onto our boy!"

  • "I’ve been taking my 11 y/o lab there for the last few months to deal with arthritis in his spine and toes. Within the last couple weeks we are back to short walks without pain and having an interest in playing with his beloved tennis balls again. Thank you!!!"
    Steph M.
  • "We took our Irish Red & White in for a birth defect evaluation. That was the most comprehensive evaluation I had ever seen on one of my dogs. I could not be happier with the services provided by Dr. Peterson and her staff."
    Katy M.
  • ""...With each visit with Dr. Peterson and her staff, Bandit was reevaluated. His treatments and exercises were adjusted to insure continued progress. Within 3 weeks Bandit was walking, not normally but was mobile on his own. Within 5 weeks Bandit was 90% back to normal: walking, running, jumping and playing...""
