So proud to be a member of Canine Massage Guild ♥️🐾♥️

Muscles pull on bones to create movement, and when arthritis is present, the joint has to recruit extra support of muscles which leads to your dog offloading, overcompensating on other limbs, primary as well as secondary areas of muscular and myofascial pain, and habitual patterns of tension throughout the whole body

So it's not just the joint thats affected.
It's your dog's whole body.
We can help.

It’s been rather hot the last few days so I’ve been taking Chops out walking early morning only. In between seeing clients in my clinic at home, Chops has taken refuge in there as it’s a cool room with a fan on. When he can’t get in there I can find him under my stairs.
The Saluki in him loves to sneak outside and sunbathe so I really have to be on the ball to stop him!
What does your dog(s) do to keep cool or what action do you take to keep your dog(s) cool?

This is Stella, Beauceron, age 7 who recently had a maintenance treatment and her owner sent me this photo with the following message…

“Hi Catherine,

I thought I'd send you an update on Stella. We competed at the Agility 4 All Nationals Show over the last two weekends. Stella was absolutely amazing. We had a blast, and we got some lovely rosettes, too 😊”

Congratulations to Stella! What a clever girl!! 🐾♥️

Home made ice lolly for Chops. I mixed a small tin of sardines in tomato sauce with filtered water and put it into the freezer for a few hours. The fan is on in his room too and we walked early this morning before it got too hot. What do you do to keep your dogs cool in this weather?

As part of being a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist I always strive to learn new techniques and improve my current skill set. This week I spent two days with Canine Massage Therapy Centre doing just this and I LOVED every second of it.

As a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist and having Chops in my family, it’s important for me to know emergency first aid should any dog require it. Today I spent 5 hours on a refresher course all about dealing with canine emergencies and getting my certificate which is valid for another 3 years. I do hope I’ll never have a scenario where I have to put it into practice but I feel confident that should a first aid crisis occur, I’ll be ready and prepared 🐾♥️
