Dogs, cats, horses,
birds, turtles, hedgehogs, rabbits — the
list is too long to include all the animals who have benefited
from Pet Massage. A bonus of pet massage is it can actually reduce
stress
in your pet, which helps decrease behavior problems. Pets feel
stress, they
feel the pangs of old age and they can hurt. Massage helps. Pet
massage is great for any age dog or cat, from infancy to geriatrics.
Studies have shown that massaging puppies on a regular basis
actually
increases the IQ in most dogs. They seem to have better focus,
problem solving skill, and fewer behavior problems. Benefits of
Massage include but are not limited to:
-
-
-
-
increases range of motion

Note: Pet massage should be used as
a powerful complimentary tool for behavioral purposes and overall
well being only. Like other techniques, some conditions may exist
in your pet where you should not use massage. Please consult your
veterinarian before practicing canine massage to ensure that your
dog has no physical problems which might be aggravated by such activity.
Arthritis, fractures, cancer and certain skin conditions are examples
of situations when massage may not be an appropriate modality.
Aroma Therapy
Essential oils are aromatic liquid substances extracted from specific
species of trees, roots, leaves, fruits, grasses and flowers. The
healing properties of the essential oils, have long been known since
ancient times. Essential oils are absorbed through the skin and leave
no toxins. The essential oils have a proven history of healing and
treating many ailments. Anxiety, insomnia, depression, indigestion,
and dandruff, just to
name a few. They can also help keep ticks, fleas and other parasites,
off your pet for less than the commercial chemical counterparts.
