Conservative Return to Function Canine

This booklet is designed to support your dog’s return to function following conservative (non-surgical) management of injury or chronic conditions. It provides a structured framework to track your dog’s comfort levels, pain flare-ups, and overall recovery progress. Use it to plan and record important milestones such as veterinary reviews, medication checks, and the gradual return to off-lead activity. Long-term goals focus on restoring your dog’s pre-injury abilities, including setting a target date for achieving pain free 30 min walks for example. With space to document each stage of recovery, this booklet helps keep you and your veterinary team aligned on a clear, goal-driven path back to function.
 
Please note, this booklet does NOT include an exercise prescription plan for your animal. It is designed to track and note down your prescribed plan created by a rehabilitation professional.
