Holistic Pet PT was founded by Dr. Jenelle Lauchman, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced training in animal physical therapy and canine rehabilitation. Dr. Lauchman brings together a strong foundation in human orthopedic physical therapy and a deep passion for helping dogs move comfortably and confidently at every stage of life.
Her approach is grounded in movement science, clinical reasoning, and compassionate care — recognizing that dogs, like people, thrive when therapy is individualized and goal-driven.
Dr. Lauchman’s journey into animal physical therapy began with a recognition that many dogs experience preventable pain, weakness, and mobility loss due to injury, aging, or the physical demands of work and sport. By applying evidence-based physical therapy principles to canine care, she helps dogs recover more fully, move more efficiently, and maintain long-term function.
She believes physical therapy should not be limited to recovery after surgery, but used proactively to support:
Dr. Lauchman approaches every dog as an individual — not a diagnosis. She evaluates how a dog moves, compensates, and interacts with their environment before developing a customized care plan.
Her philosophy centers on:
This approach helps ensure meaningful, lasting outcomes rather than short-term fixes.
As a mobile provider, Dr. Lauchman works with dogs in their natural environments — homes, training facilities, and work settings — allowing therapy to be practical, relevant, and easily integrated into daily life.
She values strong relationships with clients and believes education and communication are essential parts of effective care.
Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, slowing down with age, or performing a physically demanding role, Dr. Lauchman is committed to providing thoughtful, professional care tailored to your dog’s needs.
