Canine Massage

 

Why?

Regular massage for your dog when done correctly can help with:

Arthritis
Lameness
Anxiety
Mobility (especially for senior dogs)
Improved performance to working/agility/show dogs
Pain management
Reduces anxiety by decreasing sympathetic levels (stress) and inducing a parasympathetic response (relaxation)
Helps puppies with their growth pain
Posture

and so much more!

 

What happens?

The first appointment is a comfortability and confidence assessment. I will arrive at the dog’s home/familiar place for the dog to get used to my presence and for the dog carers to sit with me to answer some questions about the dog(s).

If the dog(s) are happy for me to, I will perform an introductory massage on them. If they struggle with touch/strangers etc I will happily work with you and the dog(s) to build their trust with me at no extra cost, until the massage can be performed.

There are different types of massage the dog can have depending on their needs, just like humans. For example maintenance, recovery, relaxation. Together we can discuss which type is appropriate for your dog(s).
