K9CARS

   Welcome to K9CARS!

Corpus Christi, Texas' only K9 conditioning and rehabilitation service station.

Does your dog have:

• a flat tire (bad leg)?
• rusty joints (arthritis)?

Has he/she:

• lost engine power (overweight/old)?

Or is he/she:

• Out of alignment (bad back)?
• Loose in the rear end(stumbling)?
• Training for the Piston Cup (conditioning for a competition)?

We can help recondition your dog's chasis and engine so he's purring like a kitten (well... sort of).

The point is that 80% of dogs are euthanized because "they can't walk". There are options now in K9 Rehabilitation that can keep your fuzzy companion's engine roaring and his wheels turning.
