We Bring Canine Wellness Right To You

Meet Dr. Traci Patnode DVM, MS, CCRT, cVMA

I have been a practicing Associate Veterinarian since 2006. In July of 2020 my senior dog, Jack began to deteriorate with failing mobility and a painful condition. He required care that I could not personally provide. I took him to our local Veterinary Rehabilitation Specialists where he received treatments for over a year that gave him a new lease on life.., READ MORE ABOUT DR. PATNODE

Making Canine Rehabilitation

Accessible To All



Mobile Veterinarian

Dr. Patnode understands the need for bringing veterinary care to the patient – whether too fearful, anxious or stressed or cannot be transported. Dr. Patnode will come to you. Bringing Rehabilitation to your location makes sense for many reasons. Many patients are healing from injury or recovering from surgery or have painful conditions, such as osteoarthritis and travel with them can be difficult for the humans and stressful to the patient. VRM Ohio travels to the patient, which reduces the stressors that may be associated with travel to a clinic. Another benefit is that your canine companion can rest immediately after treatment which will help the healing/recovery process. If coming to your home isn’t an option, we do work with some practices to bring Rehabilitation to your Family Veterinarian’s clinic.

Cooperative Practices

Cooperation with local practices means that VRM Ohio will work with many practices around Ohio. We include any/all team members from your Family Veterinarian or referring Specialist who wish to participate in the visits. Whether or not we meet you and your canine at your home or at an alternate designated location, thorough communication is part of our cooperative/collaborative effort. You and your Family Veterinarian (or referring Specialist) will receive a written report following each visit. We will communicate directly with the Referring Veterinarian to ensure that we have all the details needed to evaluate and determine treatment plan for your canine.

Live Video Consultations

There may be times where live video communication can be used. This is on a case by case basis and is only offered after an in person Initial Evaluation has been established. Since in person assessments are essential for Rehabilitation, these consultations do not take the place of the Intial Evaluations or the Progress evaluations.

Pure Elegance & Perfect Form

In order to perform at their highest level, your canine must be in peak physical condition. We can be your partner in this journey! We are excited to witness your dog shine in the ring, the field or the dock!
