Description

Dogs love massage and find it relaxing. Massage has many benefits to the body. This course is designed to help owners learn how to confidently deliver safe massage all over the dog, including areas like the gums.

Its great to start massage on a puppy as it will have life long benefits and get both owner and puppy used to the process and used to being handled all over, making trips to the vet a happier experience.

Its also great for any age dog. The benefits of massage are universal, and it will help any owner to know how to massage.

This is a great teaching aid if your a dogs therapist. If you ever give some home massage to an owner to do as part of their rehabilitation plan, this will help them learn it in s safe, step by step method. This could range from after surgery or if they have arthritis. Your dogs therapists would build and lead the plan and guide you through what is needed.

She has been a highly successful animal physio and was even the physio for the pet spa in Harrods delivering high end luxury massage and rehabilitation. This was due to her success with all her clinics in the South of the UK based in veterinary clinics and hospitals.

T.V Vet Paul Manktelow MRCVS also put his face on the front and gave a quote below as he also encourages owners to learn massage.
