About Personalized Veterinary : Behavior & Rehab

About

This is a veterinary practice rather than a training school, and it says so: "Personalized Veterinary: Behavior & Rehabilitation is a concierge veterinary practice limited to rehabilitation, behavior, and geriatrics in Michigan that offers in-hospital and mobile house call visits." Its headline describes "In-Home Rehabilitation, Veterinary Behavior, and Geriatric Care for Dogs and Cats in SE and Mid Michigan."

The practice explains the concierge model as a deliberate cap on caseload: "Having limited our number of patients, we are well equipped to treat your animals in a low stress, attentive, and communication-focused environment."

Behavior work

The first item on the practice's own list of what it treats is behavioral: "Behavior modification and/or special attention for veterinary care appointments due to anxiety and fear." This is veterinary behavior – the fear and anxiety that make ordinary veterinary care difficult – rather than obedience instruction.

Other services

The published list also covers "Chronic pain management due to arthritis or other musculoskeletal and/or neurological conditions"; "Muscle strengthening and neuromodulation for a degenerative disease, such as degenerative myelopathy"; "Post-operative rehabilitation for a recent surgery, such as for cranial crucial ligament injury or intervertebral disc disease"; "Nutrition and supplement counseling, including homemade diet formulation, for obesity, weight loss, and other conditions"; "Regenerative medicine including platelet-rich plasma therapy, stem cell therapy, IV vitamin C therapy, and gene-specific immunotherapy for cancer"; diagnostics including "diagnostic ultrasound, echocardiogram, advanced lab work, and/or in home oxygen therapy"; and "Quality of life consulting, end-of-life/hospice care, and medically indicated euthanasia."

Geriatric work is described in detail and is delivered by "our Fear Free Certified Staff," who "provide comprehensive mobile geriatric veterinary services in your home." The site notes that "Our clients often find us when traveling is difficult for them or their animals due to limited mobility, anxiety/fear, or other special needs," and that a first appointment "typically lasts about 1 hour."

Area covered

The practice publishes a long list of Michigan communities served, including Holly, Fenton, Clarkston, Burton, Brighton, Howell, Hartland, Ann Arbor and Detroit, with a caveat in its own words: "We do not necessarily provide house calls to all of these communities but behavior technician can sometimes make radius exceptions for pets that can safely be seen at home."
