Animals Only

I have had a great experience here with my Maltese Oliver. He has been having shockwave therapy, hydrotherapy, injections and gym time and I’m seeing a big improvement with his knee and hip since starting here. All of the staff has been amazing but especially Dr. Gardner and Sara. They have been so informative, nice and welcoming to us. Ollie and I look forward to our visits here!

We found Animals Only through our vet Dr Hayes. Our dog TimTam had to have major femur surgery and was going to need at least 3 months of physical therapy. Dr Schuda and her entire team have been amazing! We have seen a big difference in Timtam’s recovery. He loves going and doing hydrotherapy, gym, shockwave, massage, and acupuncture! Dr Schuda and Dr Gardner are his favorite people, followed closely by the entire team. Izzy, Yesenia, Liz, everyone is amazing! They will care for your pet like it was their own. The facility is great and they explain every procedure. The parking lot is easy to use and it is right off the 15. They will work closely with your vet and surgeon. We cannot recommend them enough. TimTam looks forward to coming every time!

This is really such a fantastic practice and I’m grateful we have this in San Diego! Their whole approach is comprehensive and our girl Tina is responding well. We appreciate how friendly everyone is and how well run it is (you’re not waiting around for treatments and you’re with your pup the whole time). We feel really supported by the vets who reach out to check in.

Amazing pet rehab clinic! The staff here is so friendly and kind, and my dog literally can’t wait to jump out of the car for his treatments—something I never thought I’d say about a vet office! After five leg surgeries in just three years, we were running out of hope. Dr. Schuda changed everything. She’s patient, compassionate, and always mindful of both time and financial constraints. She comes up with creative rehab plans that truly work for you and your dog. Thanks to Animals Only, our pup made incredible progress. We thought amputation might be the only option, or that he’d never bear weight on his leg again. Now he walks great, runs, even sneaks in a jump (though we’re careful!)—and most importantly, he’s happy, energetic, and smiling again. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without the amazing team at Animals Only. So grateful—thank you for giving Reed his joy back!

We brought our dog Leo, who has elbow dysplasia, to physical therapy hoping to alleviate his limp. At just 14 months old, he was experiencing significant inflammation and wasn’t walking as well as he should. Initially, he underwent weekly stim therapy and hydrotherapy (water treadmill), and we started noticing positive changes within just two weeks! I admit I was skeptical about the effectiveness of physical therapy, but I was pleasantly surprised. The doctors and technicians at Animals Only are exceptional; they truly understand how to work with dogs. Leo was quite skittish and fearful at first, but the staff was incredibly patient, giving him the space he needed while gently helping him overcome his anxiety about the treatments. Now, he actually seems to enjoy hydrotherapy, which has been a joy to witness. We highly recommend Animals Only to anyone seeking physical therapy for their dogs. Their expertise and compassionate care have made a significant difference in Leo's life!

As a veterinary professional I am beyond pleased with the level of care provided here. My corgi can be a bit reactive but they have treated her so well and she has done marvelous. Yes it’s expensive but you’re paying for their expertise, specialized equipment and focused time on your baby. Nothing feels rushed or careless.

My boy Bruno has had 2 full rounds of pt at animals only. They were able to fit us in very quick from his initial injury (partial CCL tear). My boy has flourished since he started going to animals only. He’s made so many friends in the staff! Every time we go in everyone knows him by name and I can just tell how much they love him! He’s pretty stable now, very strong, lost weight, etc. I’d recommend animals only to anyone whose dog needs it.
