Dog Rehab? Two Hands, Four Paws In Los Angeles, Calif. Treats Injured Pets (VIDEO)
Posted in: Today's ChiliA rehab center for dogs in Los Angeles, Calif. offers massage and laser therapy, acupuncture, weight loss help and more to troubled pets. The services sound like something out of “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” but the canines walking through the doors at Two Hands Four Paws are not pampered little pooches; instead, they’re dogs with serious injuries and health issues.
One-eighth of the business’ clientele are wheelchair-bound at some point in their therapy, explained founder Leslie McMahon to KTLA in the video above. For those dogs, water treadmills, swim sessions and massage therapy can strengthen injured limbs and loosen tight muscles. Other clientele include aging pets suffering from arthritis, torn ligaments or sore joints.
In a phone interview with The Huffington Post, McMahon revealed the two most common injuries she sees at the clinic: disc diseases, which are congenital, and torn anterior cruciate ligaments in knees.
