The best! Brought our elderly Shepard Pyrenees mix after getting laser and treatment in pilsen post slipped disc he could barely walk. Going to Arfit and it’s a 180°! Literally magical. Entire staff and owner are amazing.

This place has been magic for my dog Magic He is a 15 month old golden who was not using his back legs very well. He had a very stiff spine and muscle weakness. In just a month (2x per week) he has made vast improvements. I’m impressed and Magic is a much happier pup. Thanks you Arfit ‼️

Highly recommend Arfit! Tod and staff are fantastic! A year ago my 9 year old standard poodle was exhibiting lameness and could barely walk. Now, he is going for long walks and has much more energy! We started at another rehab center (IPC) where he made little to no progress, not to mention he was highly anxious as the staff pulled him into the back room (owners cannot watch or interact with their dog). Artfit is designed to be friendly and fear-free from the time you arrive. It's rehabilitation and good bonding time with your dog. We are so grateful to Tod and all the staff there. Thank you for giving my boy his energy back!

Todd and his staff are amazing. They care so deeply for every animal that walks through their door. From the massage, the acupuncture, and strength training, they helped make our old man dogs final time with us the best it could be. We recommend Arfit to all our fellow dog parents whether the pup is in their prime or in their golden years. Every dog will benefit from their care and therapy. We said goodbye to our old boy but we will see the team at Arfit again with all our fur babies in the future.

Love Tod. Junebug has been going to him for the last 5 years. Her quality of life has been great. She is 13 now.

We love Tod and the crew at ArFit. They are so nice and compassionate. Our Husky is coming for post op TPLO care and she’s obsessed. She is getting her strength back and we’re so proud of her progress and happy with the team!

Tod and his staff are true angels who I wish I had met sooner. My Tina Bobby, at 15 years old, lived a life of high activity, at least until May 2022. Though it's natural for all of us to slow down at that age, she started experiencing some pain. The massages, stretches, dry-needling, lasering and gym workouts at Arfit made a tremendous difference in her quality of life. The biggest difference came from the genuine love and affection they poured into my Tina. Arfit was frankly therapeutic for me too! Highly recommend!!

My dachshund ruptured two discs in her spine that rendered her back legs paralyzed. After undergoing surgery, Tod and the team have cared for my dog like their own. She is walking and you’d only know she had a severe injury in the past if I were to share that with you. We continue to see the team regularly for prevention and maintenance. They’re so friendly, understanding, and excellent in their field. They’ve become family. Don’t look anywhere else!!
