About Us
Get ready to meet the passionate owners of L&B Pet PT, Lisa and Bob McHale. Lisa's been a pediatric physical therapist since the dawn of time (1995), and Bob's a retired Chicago Police Officer who's seen it all. When their beloved dog Gracie was diagnosed with a severe neurological condition (AA) which left her in pain and paralyzed they explored different types of canine rehab to improve Gracie's quality of life. Lisa realized that canine rehab was very similar to what she'd been doing for over 20 years as a pediatric physical therapist. Lisa started working with her PT friend Jeanine who had been doing canine rehab for 20 years. When Bob retired he started helping Lisa and Jeanine work with Sonny a paralyzed Mastiff. You can never have too many hands to assist when your working with a 227lb dog. Lisa became certified in canine rehab in 2023! Now, L&B Pet PT offers preventative and rehab services, specializing in neurologic canine rehab. They even make custom braces and equipment for dogs with orthopedic and neurological deformities! Check out their photo gallery for some examples of their custom braces and equipment. With L&B Pet PT, your furry friend will get the hands-on, caring treatment they deserve, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
