Having rescues who haven't been introduced to oral care like tooth bushing can make incorporating this habit quite challenging. I have tried all sorts of products and really like the water additive I use but am always searching for something I can use to actually brush off build up. So many products have scents and flavors that my dogs do not find enticing. I'm happy to say that they don't immediately run when they see me pull these out! I just slip them on my finger and these thin and flexible "brushes" allow me to feel around their teeth while applying gentle pressure with results I could see the very first time I used them! I just wanted to pass the info on because I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

Petkin Fingertip Tooth Wipes For Dogs and Cats - Keep your pet's teeth and gums clean and healthy everyday with our Slip-on Fingertip Wipes. Soft and moistened with gentle Aloe to clean plaque and tartar while freshening breath. Includes 50 fingertip wipes.

Chronic pain in humans is influenced not just by the disease but by biological, clinical, psychological and socio-demographic factors.

Translating this to companion animals - their own anatomy and physiology, their current and previous trauma as well as co-morbidities, where and how they live, their previous experiences and emotional resilience are likely to influence their perception of their pain.

We have so much to learn…but we are also finding ways to best manage it.

Murray said "Where has this been my whole life?"
Our first session felt like we have been working together for years! He immediately settled in and enjoyed both the massage and cold laser therapy. His mom has done a great job of keeping him at an ideal weight for his bull dog joints, I was shocked to learn he is 9 years old! I'm happy to be able to help keep him flexible and relieve some tension in his bowed elbows and knees and he especially liked the laser on his lower back and hips. He even smiled for a pic, which I'm told is rare!

I have openings coming up so message me to get in the schedule ☺️

How I feel walking into appointments with my new cold laser! I'm so excited to be able to offer this amazing therapy in the comfort of your home!
LASER therapy provides a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free and drug-free treatment that is used to treat a variety of conditions, and can be performed in conjunction with existing treatments. LASER treatments are an excellent way to provide pain relief to your canine companion. LASER therapy reduces pain by reducing inflammation through vasodilation (the opening of blood vessels) and also by activating the lymphatic drainage system, thus draining swollen areas. The result is a reduction in swelling which reduces pain. The LASER also stimulates nerve cells that block pain signals from being transmitted to the brain, thereby decreasing nerve sensitivity. Because there is less inflammation, less swelling and an interruption of pain signals to the brain, the dog will experience less pain. LASER treatments for dogs also stimulate the production of high levels of naturally-produced endorphins which further counteract your dog's pain.
Message me today to schedule an appointment and get your dog on the path to better and longer mobility! Keep em moving next to you!

I think it's safe to say that Bambi enjoyed her first session with me! Her mom is so excited to be able to provide her with some drug free pain relief for her arthritis and together we created a plan that includes regular visits from me! Keeping dogs mobile and comfortable is my passion!

I received an awesome message from a client. I worked the day of the 4th and provided some CBD for some pups who are terrified of fireworks. Some soothing tones, affirmations of safety and an extra relaxing massage, along with my special blend of CBD and CBG seemed to do the trick! I love hearing these kinds of stories!

Hank had his first full length session with me and any questions of whether he would enjoy it or not were quickly answered by the way he pushed into my hands, groaned and rolled his hips out. With every pass of my hands he released built up tension and anxiety and would turn his head and look at me like "Seriously?! How have I never felt this before!" I swear that by the end he was an inch taller and 3 inches longer! I can't wait to see how he progresses now that he joins his sister in my regular schedule!

Last min opening for Thursday the 6th available! Time can be flexible so message me to make it yours!
I also have a couple spots next week so be sure to grab em!

Happy 3rd Birthday Doug!!! Working with Doug has been such a privilege and joy. He was 8 months old when I started seeing him and I've been able to see just how much of a difference regular bodywork started at a young age can make in a dog of his stature. His vet even commented on how well he behaved during an exam of his sprained ankle a few months ago. Seeing his face light up with excitement when I walk through the door and how he looks at me with adoration during his massage can turn any bad day right again. I'm so thankful his parents trust Pike Creek Pets to be a part of his care team.

Every dog is completely different, however more often than not, there is just something about a 3rd session. There's a little more excitement in their greeting, a little more eagerness to get down to business and the ability to relax a bit more. My 3rd session with Bella did not disappoint ❤️. She's understanding that I'm not going to push her past her comfort zone and that I will be very gentle with her painful areas. It takes a lot of trust for a dog with painful joints to lay down because they know it takes so much effort to get up. So this little lie down followed by a deep sigh set my heart all a flutter.

"Roofie! What the flock?!"
Doug got a kick out of the sudden appearance of flamingos on our walk!

Know if your garden is a safe zone for your pups! Always check to make sure plants, mulch, flowers and fertilizers are pet safe before using them. Consider planting some herbs that dogs not only find enjoyable to sniff, but that can also benefit them ! I like to use herbs in dog safe teas for gentle anti inflammatory benefits and even oral health.

Bella reminds me of a 1930s Hollywood starlette with those dramatic eyes.
Our first session together consisted of analyzing her gait, identifying areas with limited range of motion as well as compensatory imbalances in muscles that have been over worked in order to take the pressure off of her shoulder. Her parents are committed to her entire well being and together we came up with a treatment plan to get her back to being a young and active lady. I really look forward to seeing her progress.
