Arizona Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation

Dr. Sonnet Jarvis is amazing. We take our German Shepherd, Hans to her for rehab after he pinched a nerve in his rear leg. Sr. Jarvis has been patient, kind, and super positive towards his care and needs. Hans is his own dog, and when he doesn't want to do something, she doesn't push him to, we either bribe with small treats or move on. Dr. Jarvis gives us homework to continuously improve his injury and help Hans to not only maintain his motions but also help strengthen the area. We highly recommend using her for all mobility and therapy needs.

Dr. Sonnet is 100% dedicated to her patients and doing what is best for them. She has provided excellent rehab care for five dogs within our family over several years. As well as numerous dogs that we have fostered. Being both a veterinarian and certified canine rehabilitation therapist provides added value to the care of your pets. I always found her to be professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Sonnet.

For over ten years, Dr. Sonnet Jarvis, DVM of Arizona Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation has been an absolute lifesaver for our beloved pets Lucky, Niki and Angie. Under her expert care and compassionate guidance, our pets’ quality of life has improved and their mobility extended through their rehab sessions with her. Dr. Jarvis’s dedication to her patients is truly unmatched; She combines her extensive veterinary knowledge with a genuine love for animals, ensuring that every step of the rehabilitation process is tailored to their individual needs. Thanks to her expertise and support, our pets’ mobility and vitality were improved beyond our expectations. We are forever grateful to Dr. Jarvis for her outstanding care and unwavering commitment to our pets’ wellness.

I couldn't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Sonnet is. She took tremendous care of Riley while in the gym and taught us how to best care for her at home. As a geriatric tripawd with severe arthritis, we thought she would hate any additional movement - but every time we brought Riley in for a therapy session, she would wag her tail in eager anticipation. She even started to ask us to do exercises at home. While we just had to say goodbye to Riley after 14 years, I know that a big reason she lived as long and as well as she did was Dr. Sonnet.

Storm hurt his shoulder about a month before he turned 2, he limped so terribly. Visited his regular vet, and later an orthopedic vet who treated him but it made very little difference. I found Dr Sonnet through internet search. By now it was over a year from his initial injury and still limping. Dr Sonnet set the stage that the chance of a full recovery was slim but she could help make him better. It was hard work but she got Storm so much better. In the meantime she trained me how to help him. She was so good with him, he enjoyed “playing” at her office. He was recently discharged from care and is living his best life. I will miss my frequent chats with her on life in general. Strongly recommend her.

My Chihuahua Bailey Rae has been receiving physical therapy sessions from Dr Sonnet Jarvis for a year now. We were referred to her after a really rough recovery from her luxating patella surgery. Due to Bailey Rae being placed in so many splints she had developed pressure ulcers, lost strength/range of motion in her right back leg, her muscles atrophied, she became bowlegged as a result of this, and was on multiple pain medications. Dr Sonnet Jarvis took her time with Bailey Rae; developed an at home plan as well for me to not only make my home safer for Bailey’s mobility but exercises for her to do as well. Since we’ve been in physical therapy, Bailey is only on an anti-inflammatory and her muscles have started to grow back, she’s progressed more then what her Ortho surgeon had expected. My dog is actually able to have a happy life thanks to Dr Sonnet Jarvis. Her attention to detail and calming approach with my dog made the world of a difference. I just wish we would have found her sooner.

Dr. Sonnet was a blessing to our family. We had a beautiful Bichon, Sophie, who was very spunky in her old age! She tore her ccl and because of her age (14) at the time, and all her other health conditions, we decided against the surgery. Dr. Sonnet did a full exam of Sophie and then designed an exercise program just for her. She also did laser treatments on her knee. Sophie got stronger and more mobile, and best of all, even happier. Her quality of life definitely improved because of Dr. Sonnet. Sophie also loved to go see her. As soon as I said we were going to see Dr. Sonnet, she would start barking and almost running around! Then she would bark at me in the car; almost like asking me are we there yet? lol She got the best care from Dr. Sonnet, and it really made a difference toward the end of her life.

Dr. Jarvis has been an instrumental part of our extended family keeping our Sadie thriving. Sadie is a unique case. Diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease in 2017, she has had two successive surgeries a year apart and a total of 11 discs removed/fused. It’s not hard to believe that Sadie did not want to participate in routine life after all she had been through and that’s when Dr. Jarvis came into our lives. She has been caring, patient, and a critical part of Sadie’s ability to live a healthy and happy life. Dr. Jarvis has always been patient with Sadie’s stubbornness and moods and is always creative in getting her to participate in her treatment. It’s hard to capture how grateful we are for the countless hours, time, energy, and care she has put into our Sadie. She is an ongoing member of the care team for our spunky girl and we look forward to our visits with her. Though Sadie will never quite be a “normal” dog again, Dr. Jarvis has given Sadie the gift of a pain free, healthy life filled with love and lots of walks! We are ever so grateful you are on our side.
