Overview

ACE of Paws, Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation, located in Albuquerque, NM, is a Canine and Feline Physical Rehabilitation center offering alternative rehabilitation services for pre-op, post-op, geriatric pets, and more. We cater to cats and dogs in need of sustainable care and are accepting new patients

Born from a deep love for animals and a passion for integrative care, ACE of Paws is New Mexico’s only stand-alone veterinary physical rehabilitation clinic. After practicing for over a decade in New Mexico, Dr. Ana Esquivel recognized that most of her patients were geriatric and in need of special attention. Because of this, Dr. Esquivel became more familiar with aging canines’ physical needs and how to maintain mobility and a higher quality of life. Studying Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians revealed that most of her patients could benefit from more than the prescribed drug therapy for their pain management. After helping her dog, Samantha, through a third knee surgery, Dr. E decided it was necessary to broaden her background to include integrative medicine. By 2018, Dr. E had completed training through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and added Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist to her credentials. Dr. E and her husband, John, recognized the high demand for Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation in Albuquerque. The two sprang into action to become business owners. They opened Albuquerque’s only stand-alone Canine Rehabilitation Clinic, ACE of Paws
