Animal Wellness Center of OC

My baby walrus sized dog was paralyzed from the neck down in November. He was a wet noodle. A 130lb sack of potatoes with jello legs. Im sure we looked crazy too from the shock, and the sleep deprivation. We were referred here by the neurologist after his surgery, and Animal Wellness Center of OC accommodated everything. They booked us in 2x a week, and we showed up religiously. The entire facility celebrated the day Maximus took his first steps. Dr. Ellis is an absolute gem. After meeting Dr. Ellis, I knew we were in the right place. They have a full sized pool, which has been essential in Maximus recovery. We also utilize the underwater treadmill now that Max is strong enough to use it. Every session before hydrotherapy, Dr. Ellis lugs my massive dog around doing floor rehab exercises, which Im positive has not been easy- especially in the beginning. As the weeks went by I kept noticing different modifications they made to accommodate my dog- putting mats down on the ramp to the pool, putting towels down on the scary parts of the floor. I would say at this point they love Maximus almost as much as I do, and theyre just as invested in his recovery as I am. I am so grateful that Lourdes and Barb created this place. Thank you Dr. Ellis and Alexa, Kelly, Lourdes, and everyone else for the hard work you all put in- and continue to put in- rehabbing Maximus. Animal Wellness Center of OC saved his life. Thank you for being part of his village.

My dog Izzy LOVES it here! She does acupuncture, laser, physical therapy and her favorite is hydrotherapy! She went from being scared and unable to walk to a happy healthy pup, who literally runs into the wellness center with excitement, in just a few months! I cant recommend them enough!

Met the owner and toured the venue. Wonderful resource for dedicated fur parents seeking hydrotherapy and other treatments for their babies. The facility and team are top notch - you can tell by the pride, detail and good vibes at the venue. Highly recommend.
