🐾 About Dr. Laurie
Dr. McCauley has had a lifelong passion to help as many pets as possible live an Optimum Quality of Life. After graduating from Colorado State Vet School, she spent six years in general practice, and then Dr. Laurie found her true calling in the field of Veterinary Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. She quickly became a pioneer in her field, designing the first underwater treadmill for dogs, and opening the first stand-alone Animal Rehabilitation clinic in 1998.
Dr. Laurie has taken all of her years of learning and teaching and condensed it down to create Optimum Pet Vitality, an online learning platform where you can gain the skills and knowledge you need to improve your pets’ and/ or patients’ lives to give them an Optimum quality of life.

    Thank you Dr. Laurie for your very informative videos! Can you please do one on luxating patella? My 4 year old dog was born with it. Last year he jumped in the snow and stretched his psoas muscle. It was a year of on and off luxated patella and agitated psoas muscle. He did hydro therapy and it helped a bit. His physio therapist actually used your psoas stretch video. 😊 With the injury it was hard for him to keep his muscles strenghtened 100%. His knee would luxate often which was very painful. He is much better now and going for his longer walks. He's on hip and joint supplements and Hills Science Metobolic Hip and Joint kibble. We don't let him do stairs anymore due to his corgi body. We're afraid of spinal issues. Do you recommend him using the stairs?
