Holistic Pet PT was founded by Dr. Jenelle Lauchman, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner, with advanced training in canine and feline physical rehabilitation. With a strong background in human orthopedic physical therapy and a lifelong love of animals, Dr. Lauchman brings a unique, movement-focused approach to helping pets move more comfortably and confidently at every stage of life.
Her care is rooted in movement science, thoughtful clinical reasoning, and genuine compassion. She believes that dogs and cats—just like people—do best when therapy is personalized, goal-driven, and centered on real-life movement, not just protocols or exercises.
