BACK ON TRACK VETERINARY REHABILITATION CENTER, LLC

What BACK ON TRACK VETERINARY REHABILITATION CENTER, LLC does

Back on Track Veterinary Rehabilitation Center, LLC is a single-location veterinary physical rehabilitation practice headquartered at 9045 SW Barbur Blvd, Suite #130, Portland, Oregon. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Bianca Shaw (DVM), the practice provides physical therapy and rehabilitation services for companion animals — primarily dogs (approximately 95% of caseload), with cats (approximately 5%) and occasional exotic animals — recovering from injury, surgery, or managing chronic orthopedic and neurologic conditions.

The clinical offering integrates multiple modalities under one roof: underwater treadmill therapy, laser therapy, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, and manual/hands-on therapy, supported by what the practice describes as a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team. Dr. Shaw is identified as the first veterinary therapist in the Portland/Vancouver metro and has 20+ years of specialized experience; the practice has treated "thousands" of cases across its 21-year operating history.

The business model is a self-pay specialty veterinary service. The published initial evaluation fee is $465, with revenue generated from follow-on treatment sessions. Customers reach the practice through two channels: veterinary referrals (including relationships with multiple regional emergency clinics and other rehab centers) and direct self-referrals from pet owners, the latter supported by an Instagram presence. Demand is presently capacity-constrained, with new-patient wait times of 4-5 months. The practice operates with approximately 7 employees and, as of 2022, paused new patient intake temporarily while Dr. Shaw underwent chemotherapy, highlighting material key-person concentration risk in the operating model.

It also sells or rents assistive devices such as custom splints, wraps, bands, and pet wheelchairs, and prescribes supplements and medications as part of treatment plans.

All patients receive individualized assessment and treatment plans developed by licensed veterinarians, with the center specializing in manual therapy techniques and acupuncture in a relaxing setting designed for pet comfort.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• OSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital — Small Animal Rehabilitation: Oregon State University's small animal rehabilitation service in Corvallis, OR. University-affiliated specialty provider offering rehab as part of a broader veterinary teaching hospital, providing institutional credibility and an alternative referral destination.
• MedVet: Specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network offering rehabilitation services. Comparable to Back on Track as a specialty provider but operating at much greater scale across multiple U.S. markets.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Large national network of veterinary hospitals (owned by Mars) that increasingly bundle rehab, hydrotherapy, and pain management into specialty service lines, representing a long-term scaling threat to independent rehab centers.
• BluePearl Pet Hospital: National specialty and emergency veterinary hospital chain with rehab offerings. As a broad incumbent, BluePearl competes for specialty referrals and could expand dedicated rehab services in the PNW market.

Regional players

• Newberg Canine Rehab: Canine rehabilitation center in Newberg, OR. Direct regional peer offering similar rehab modalities to Portland-adjacent pet owners, contributing to fragmented competitive supply in the PNW rehab market.
• Sound Veterinary Rehabilitation Center: Veterinary rehabilitation center in the greater Seattle area offering underwater treadmill, acupuncture, and laser therapy for companion animals. Comparable PNW competitor with a similar modality mix and patient profile.
• Salem Oregon Animal Rehabilitation (SOAR): Animal rehabilitation center at 3217 Market St. NE, Salem, OR. Regional peer serving Oregon pet owners with comparable rehabilitation services, expanding competitive pressure outside the immediate Portland metro.

Others

• DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital: Portland-based emergency and specialty veterinary hospital. Listed as a referral partner rather than a direct rehab competitor, but increasingly relevant as DoveLewis adds post-acute rehab services.

Direct peers

• Healing Arts Animal Care: Animal rehabilitation center in Beaverton, OR (8505 SW Creekside Place). Listed in Back on Track's referral resources as a direct PNW rehab competitor offering overlapping modalities to the same Portland-metro client base.

Emerging players

• AquaPaws Canine Hydrotherapy: Specialty canine hydrotherapy provider with multiple locations. A more focused emerging player in the underwater treadmill niche that overlaps with Back on Track's signature hydrotherapy service.
