Scotland's Canine Massage Clinic offers non-invasive remedial treatment designed to ease muscle pain
(22)
Central Scotland's Canine Massage Clinic offers Clinical Canine Massage. This is a vet-approved complementary therapy that uses Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage together with Myofascial Release and Advanced Canine Anatomy to produce a drug-free and holistic treatment designed to ease the pain of a muscular or soft tissue injury, promote rehabilitation, improve flexibility and mobiltiy, whil
e benefitting the overall health and well-being of your dog. Clinical Canine Massage is suitable for all types of dogs: sports, service and pets, it is especially beneficial for old dogs. Canine Massage Therapy also supports dogs with orthopaedic issues, like Hip Dysplasia, Luxating Patella and Arthritis, by improving the health and flexibility of muscles and tendons that have to work harder due to a joint weakness. Dogs hide their pain, they don't want to be seen as the week member of the pack, so keep an eye out for the subtle signs which can manifest as:
• Limping, unable to fully weight bear on one or more legs
• Having difficulty jumping on / off the sofa or into the car
• Character changes, grumpy with people or dogs
• Appearing to age overnight
• Problems getting up or lying down
• No longer keen to go for a walk
• Performance issues, eg dropping poles, lack of enthusiasm
I think it has poured down all day so what better way to spend the day than learning to massage your dog, properly! Thank you to the lovely humans who brought their gorgeous dog beings along for a super informative and fun day all the while developing a new skill! And dogs got to come too - just perfect! 🥰
And thank you Kinbuck Community Group for use of their fabulous hall! I’ll need to come along for pub night! 😊
This therapy is hugely supportive to orthopaedic conditions. If it is not already part of your pain managment plan then it is worth trying it out to see how much difference it can make to your dog's quality of life. ☺
Hi folks, there are still a couple of spots on the Beginner’s Guide to Canine Massage next Sunday 25th August, held at Kinbuck Hall near Dunblane. Give me a shout if you’d like to come along and learn these fantastic skills for which your dog will love you even more than they already do! 🥰 Please share!
The next one will be held on the 6th October.

I’ve had the honour of working with Alba, a very beautiful podenco. She’s been in a very loving home for a couple of years but was still showing some stress behaviours that her guardians couldn’t quite resolve.
On her first visit she was very suspicious and reluctant to engage but we found a some essential oils that she was willing to work with. She settled and even appeared to snooze which was unheard of in a strangers house.
The family returned 3 weeks later saying they had a different dog. She was now able to communicate what was upsetting her rather than a full scale melt down. She was calmer, car journeys were easier and she would approach strangers.
This time it was all about the herbs. Now that her nervous system had calmed she was ready to physically resource herself with nutritional and gut soothing herbs. And her sister mini pod Abby wasn’t going to miss out on the yummys! So she tucked in too. ☺️

A fabulous end to an amazing 3 days at Scone for the GWCT Scottish Game Fair. I’m so tired, it’ll take a few early nights to recover! 🥱 But it was totally worth it, I met so many fabulous dogs and their hoomans. ☺️
That’s was another fab day. Loads of lovely clients popped over to say hello ☺️ I bumped into the amazing Dixie Doodles pack enjoying a rare day off! Tomorrow’s the last day. Pop over for your dog’s check over, it could be an eye opener! Spot the Moiritic Sheepdog!
What’s a fabulous day with my compadres! 🤩 come and see us!
I'll be here every day so please pop over and say hello!
Mine's a coffee - milk and sugar! 😜
Only a few days until we're at the Scottish Game Fair.
Bring your dog along to see us for a FREE muscular health check. If your dog is not with you, you can still chat with our Guild therapists.
Find us in Fishermans Row, stand F01
What a lovely visit with wee Rosie today. 🥰
Thank you everyone for you generous support, it has meant so much to us. The next morning my mum was amazed to see a rainbow over Josie’s park, especially after seeing so many rainbows in your comments so she took a photo of it. But then I pointed out the big beardie joyfully rolling in the clouds with her legs in the air and her ears flapping! Can you see her? A magical little glimpse over the rainbow bridge that we can all take some solace from. 🥹
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Josie. She took me to Crufts where I met Canine Massage Guild and you all know the rest of that story, and yes that is her with Clare Balding! She pranced joyfully through life and defied all the odds. We are all heartbroken that our time with her has run out but please send some love to her sister Maisie, they've been at each others side, sharing life for 14 years. 💔
That’s another group of wonderful doggy mums away home with some very chilled puppers. It’s had been such a lovely relaxed day. The dogs have all been great, even some snoring in the corner 😴🤣. The owners have especially loved being able to spend all day with their dogs as well as learning a new skill that will not only help their dogs but will also deepen their relationship 🥰. Aaaah my job is done 🥹 If you want to come along to the next one in the central region, it will be in August, so keep me in touch! 😊
Well Rhino, that’s another fine mess you’ve made! I’ve finally found a way to keep this busy Staffie in one place so that I can massage him! Bad luck for that treat ball, lucky I’ve got a spare! He spat out every piece - any puzzlers fancy a challenge? 🤓
There are still a couple of spaces for next Sunday's workshop on 12th May. So drop me a message if you want to save your space at this fun and highly informative day.
You will not only get to spend the whole day with your dog but you will also leave with a wonderful new skill to help improve your dog's quality of life. Your dog will thank you for this.
This is a live, in person event, where communication and discussion are encouraged, and hands on corrections can be made to ensure that you never feel lost.

SHARE - SPREAD THE NEWS - HAVE YOUR SAY
Hi Guys - remember this? Well, today is the closing day for responses into creating the scope for the investigation. Here is a copy of the questions asked, responses need to be emailed to [email protected] by 5pm today. The original document outlining the proposals can be found using the link at the bottom.
5.3 We are particularly interested in submissions which engage with our provisional analysis of the market, as set out in this document, and our proposal to make an MIR. Respondents may wish to consider the following questions:
● Do you consider that our analysis is correct with respect to the suspected features of concern in the supply of veterinary services and related services for household pets in the UK? You may wish to answer this in relation to specific points such as:
– Whether consumers are given enough information to enable them to choose the best veterinary practice or the right treatment for their needs;
– Whether concentrated local markets may be leading to weak
competition in some areas;
– Whether large integrated groups may have incentives to act in ways which reduce choice and weaken competition;
– Whether pet owners might be overpaying for medicines or prescriptions.
– Whether the regulatory framework remains fit for purpose.
● Do you consider that our analysis is correct with respect to the reference test being met in relation to the supply of veterinary services and related services for household pets in the UK?
● Do you agree with our proposal to exercise our discretion to make a reference in relation to the supply of veterinary services for household pets in the UK?
● Do you consider that the proposed scope of the reference, as set out in the draft Terms of Reference published alongside this document, would be sufficient to enable any adverse effect on competition (or any resulting or likely detrimental effects on customers) caused by the features referred to above to be effectively and comprehensively remedied?
● Do you have any views on our current thinking on the types of remedies that an MIR could consider? Are there other measures we should consider?
● Do you have any views on areas where we should undertake further analysis or gather further evidence as part of an MIR in relation to the supply of veterinary services for household pets in the UK? We would particularly welcome any specific evidence from respondents in support of their views.
5.4 Any submissions must be provided no later than 5:00pm on 11 April 2024 by emailing: [email protected]

This might not look like a majorly impressive event to most of us, but this is Suki. She's a blind (prob from birth) rescue from the streets of Cairo, and this is the first time she's chosen a toy from the toybox and played with it. 🥹 She moved to Scotland a few years ago and has recently been visiting me for some treatment. She's a very friendly girl how loves contact but we still took things slowly with her and mixed some zoopharmacognosy with some hands on massage. She selected lots of nutritional herbs, which is unsurprising, and some hydrosols which can support a sense of security. At her most recent session she was flat out for a full massage!
We knew she had the start of spondylosis but also discovered that she probably has a luxating patella. Everyone who knows Suki says that she is so much more confident and has actually had a flat out run! Not bad for blind girl! 🐾 Her dog walker says she initiates play with her fellows and is much more sprightly. I think there is more we can explore with the botanicals to help face those unwanted memories but very happy with the results so far. Gorgeous girl 🥰
The Beginners Guide to Canine Massage - CARNOUSTIE - In Person - is no FULL. I'm so looking forward to this day. Let me know if you are want to be put on a waiting list for the day.

This looks great fun! Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre are bringing this new doggie activity to the area, it's a mix of agility and scentwork. Should challenge your dogs innate senses!
What lovely lively workshop today. Reaching that place of surrender was hard won for some but so magical when it happened. Other dogs thought all their birthdays had come at once and just soaked up the day in bliss. Every class is wonderfully unique and it’s always a pleasure to meet folks who are passionate about helping their dogs - my favourite kind of people! 😊
The next workshops are in Carnoustie on the 14th April and Dunblane on the 12th May.
Yikes! Are you struggling for the last minute perfect Mother's Day gift, something she share with her favourite child! 😜 There are a couple of spaces free next weekend at the Beginners Guide to Canine Massage! Or perhaps she'd like to try zoopharmacognosy session?

I had a lovely zoopharmacognosy session with Mimi yesterday. She has really come out of her shell since we started working with botanicals to support her systems and help her move on from her previous racing life. As you can see she is very good at communicating her needs! 🥰 Building trust with her has been a beautiful experience, she is a gorgeous soul. Edinburgh Clinical Canine Massage thank you for trusting me with your girl. 🐾😇
... a wee reminder of the wonders of canine massage! 😇

How amazing, we got some fabulous exposure on Crufts! Well done Louise Skelton and Ollie for staying cool and remembering to mention arthritis management, clinical trials and one day workshops. I’m so proud to have been part of this organisation for the past 8 years!
This dear old gent, Diesel, is getting on a bit and becoming weak and unsteady in his hind legs. His mum stopped for a wee wander on his way home after his massage. He’s looking pretty happy with himself. Be like Diesel - get a massage and enjoy life more. 🥰
