MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Dr. Sybil Davis, DVM, CCRP Aiken Pet Fitness and Rehabilitation, Aiken, SC Why Join AARV? "I have been a member of AARV since its inception. I started my stand-alone rehabilitation practice in December 2010, and AARV has been instrumental in my success. The management information AARV has collected helped me secure financing. I love their continuing education because I can earn rehab credits and network with peers at a national meeting. The website provides monthly articles, lists companies that give member discounts, and has classified ads where I have sold equipment. I appreciate AARV staying on top of changes in the field and protecting veterinary rights. AARV is a great organization that has accomplished so much already and will continue to lead in the future."

Summary of Pet Insurance Rehabilitation Services Coverage AARV contacted pet insurance companies to collect information regarding coverage of rehabilitation services. We believe this information will be helpful to our members, especially when asked by clients. Most of the companies were enthusiastic to provide the AARV information about their coverages. The AARV compiled the information received and created a summary chart, which you can find by clicking here. AARV Summary of Pet Insurance Rehabilitation Coverage
