You can't grow what you don't measure. In the rapidly evolving canine rehabilitation industry, relying on "gut feeling" to price your services is a guaranteed path to burnout.
We've compiled data from top-performing rehab clinics across the country to establish the 2026 baseline metrics. If your clinic is falling below these numbers, it's time to re-evaluate your pricing, packaging, and sales processes.
What is the average revenue per patient in canine rehab?
ARPP is the total amount of money a single patient spends at your clinic over their lifetime.
- Industry Average: $650
- Top 10% Clinics: $1,800+
The Gap: Clinics with an ARPP under $700 are almost exclusively selling single sessions. The top 10% achieve an $1,800+ ARPP by mandating comprehensive, 8-to-12 week care plans and upselling orthotics or maintenance packages.
What is a good evaluation-to-plan conversion rate?
Out of 10 new initial evaluations, how many commit to a full treatment plan?
- Industry Average: 45%
- Top 10% Clinics: 80%+
The Gap: High-converting clinics don't just hand the owner a piece of paper with prices. They conduct a "Report of Findings" where they review the dog's objective measurements, explain the mechanical deficits, and present the care plan as a medical necessity, not an optional luxury.
"A 10% increase in your evaluation conversion rate is mathematically identical to increasing your marketing budget by 30%—but it costs you nothing."
What is the average profit margin for a canine rehab clinic?
After all expenses (including paying yourself a fair market salary), what is left over?
- Industry Average: 12 - 15%
- Top 10% Clinics: 25 - 30%
How do you improve your canine rehab clinic metrics?
The fastest way to move from "Industry Average" to the "Top 10%" is to stop acting like a commodity. Raise your initial evaluation fee by 20% to filter out price-shoppers, structure your pricing into tiered care plans, and ensure your front desk is trained to confidently explain the value of your services over the phone. You can also evaluate your clinic's current workflows using our Referral Communication Assessment.
