This mobility journey is hard
Caring for a mobility-challenged dog tests your mental, physical, and emotional strength. Every day is filled with challenges that demand patience, resilience, and unwavering love.
We know how overwhelming it can feel. But we also know that it gets better with great resources, empathetic support, and a safe place to ask questions. That's why we're here.
Quality of life is important now
Quality of life shouldn't be confined to end-of-life decisions. It encompasses every stage, from puppyhood to old age, reflecting your dog's overall happiness and well-being.
Assessing and enhancing quality of life involves ensuring comfort, meeting basic needs, and addressing physical and emotional pain. By focusing on these aspects throughout a dog's life, we can help you provide a happier, healthier life experience for your dog.
We bridge the gap
To bridge the gap between veterinary care and home care, we empower you with the knowledge and skills to care for your dog at home.
We help you understand your dog's condition, implement your veterinarian's at-home care instructions, and provide a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. Most importantly, we're here to support you and your dog every step of the way.

What our pet parents have to say about working with us:
Kate has been helping with my medically fragile animals for over a decade. She has been a fount of knowledge for mobility issues in both household pets and ranch animals. In addition to mobility services and various devices, I’ve also received incredible guidance for behavioral concerns and even end-of-life accommodations. Both pets and their people quickly feel at home at A Loyal Companion due to her and her team’s friendly and patient approach.
Jacob & Autumn
Kate is a wonder worker. Over the last five years, my elder cattle dog and I have found strength through Kate’s gifts as a fitness trainer, mobility specialist, massage therapist, swimming coach, writer, and speaker—all enhanced by her unique brand of intelligent compassion. We are forever in her debt.
Jennifer & Blueberry
The best at what they do and very patient and kind. I truly appreciate Kate and Nikki for helping me with my boy Titus for better mobility and less pain. He is doing so much better because of them.
Robin & Titus
A Loyal Companion has been such a blessing for me and my sweet aging Azula. Kate she gave us hope. After swimming and gym for a couple months, my sweet girl’s falls have significantly decreased. For our outdoor walks, Azula has a wheelchair. Azula’s brothers and I now have to hustle on our walks to keep up with her! Kate’s business has brought me and my paw kids much needed joy. The pain of watching my girl suffer is no longer a constant in my life
Brenda & Azula
I brought my German shepherd Guardian here after finding out we would be battling the early onset of DM. Kate was nothing short of amazing on the intake exam. Incredibly knowledgable, personable, and so authentic, you felt right at home sitting there. Truly grateful for the service A Loyal Companion provides and their genuine care of man’s best friend. Looking forward to battling this alongside such a great group of people.
