Typical Rehabilitation Times for Soft Tissue Injuries

Typical rehabilitation times for soft tissue injuries

Soft tissue injuries are quite common in dogs and I am often asked how long it will take for the injury to heal.

Some dogs may recover quicker than others, however, in a nutshell, the type of tissue injury and its severity will impact the time required for the tissue to heal.

Patience and compliance to a rehabilitation program is key to a successful recovery.

If you dog has been diagnosed with such an injury, I hope that this brief summary of the average time you may expect for a soft tissue injury to heal will help you to manage your expectations.
