Help injured animals get back on their feet

As they age, our pets have the same needs we do. And whether they’re recovering from an injury, surgery or simply need to lose weight, rehabilitation is key.

This is an ever-growing branch of the animal health industry. And, once you’ve completed our two-year Veterinary Technician training, Northern’s Companion Animal Physical Rehabilitation program will give you the critical skills you need to dive in.

With its strong focus on specialized patient care, this one-year graduate certificate will prepare you to help dogs and cats live life to the fullest—with minimal pain and discomfort.

It will also give you a critical advantage in the workplace. After all, your sought-after skill set will expand the range of services offered within a veterinary practice. And that will make a significant impact on a lot of lives – including those of well-loved pets.

Physical rehabilitation is becoming part of everyday veterinary medicine. It is emerging as an important complementary form of care that is a valuable professional asset for veterinary technicians who have undertaken this additional qualification. They provide this specialized care within the context of a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, helping to extend the range of services offered within a veterinary practice.

Veterinary clinics, private rehabilitation facilities and pet daycares with conditioning/fitness programs as well as a variety of other opportunities.
