Do I need a referral for rehabilitation?

Referrals are welcome from other veterinarians, but they aren't required to begin rehabilitation at Mill Pond. If your dog is already our patient, our team can evaluate whether rehab is right for them. Referring veterinarians can submit our rehabilitation referral form, and records can be emailed to rehab@mpvclinic.com.

How does laser therapy work?
Companion laser therapy uses focused light to promote cell function, helping decrease pain and inflammation and supporting wound healing. It's pain-free, non-invasive, non-surgical, and drug-free, which makes it a gentle option for many dogs. A course of laser treatments can benefit a wide range of conditions.

What is stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy uses your pet's own stem cells to harness the body's natural regenerative ability for powerful healing. At Mill Pond, we partner with MediVet to provide this service. It can be especially helpful for conditions like arthritis, where regenerated tissue may reduce pain and improve mobility.
