Bailey loves her massage time and it really does help with those times when she is finding it difficult to settle.

DID YOU KNOW? 😮💡

Regular massage for your dog is hugely beneficial! 💖 Not only can it promote calmness and reduce stress 🧘‍♀️ or anxiety, but it can also help grow your bond with your dog too! 🥰

Possibly one of the biggest benefits of massage for your dog, however, is their physical health and wellbeing! 🩺 Regular massage helps you get to know your dog’s body 🐕 so you can find and/or monitor any lumps or swellings.

There are so many other benefits too, from improved circulation ⭕️, more flexibility and an immune system boost ⬆️, to reduced aches, pain and inflammation 😖 – especially for more senior dogs, or dogs recovering from injury or surgery – regular massage is key 🔑 for ALL dogs, no matter their age or breed!

Taking some time to provide your canine companion with a relaxing and therapeutic massage has so many benefits – and best of all, you can do it yourself at home! 🏠

Does your dog 🐕 or cat 🐈 really enjoy being pet? You might be surprised!

For many people, stroking a cat or dog is a truly wonderful experience. 🥰 It can help you feel happy and relaxed and promote feelings of contentment and companionship. 💞

But do cats and dogs always enjoy it? 🤔

Some cats and dogs love to be stroked and petted and will seek out affection from anyone willing to offer it. 😂 Others actively dislike it or find it worrying. Even the friendliest of dogs and cats don’t necessarily enjoy being approached and touched by strangers.

Some dogs really enjoy pets from members of their family but feel very uncomfortable being petted by strangers. Other dogs love to be fussed and stroked by everyone.

Cats can be pretty selective too! 😅

Never assume a dog or cat is going to want to be stroked by someone they don’t know (or even by someone they do know!). Getting consent, and being sure that consent is ongoing, is so important. ✅

Waiting for your pet to come to you and initiate attention means you know for sure that they are participating willingly. It’s also a great idea to stop every few seconds to make sure they are still enjoying the experience. They’ll make it obvious if they want more by leaning in or nudging you to continue. 🙂 Always let your dog or cat move away if they’ve had enough or start to feel uncomfortable.

Animals also have preferences about where they are comfortable being petted. Just like people, every animal is an individual, but here are some things to keep in mind that will help everyone stay safe and happy:

🐾 Cats typically prefer to be stroked around the face.
🐶 Dogs may feel most comfortable being stroked on the shoulders and chest area and under the chin.
🐾 It can help to get down to their level. Leaning over an animal’s head can be very worrying for them.
🐶 Stroke in the direction of the fur, not against it.
🐾 Always ask permission before approaching a dog or cat you don’t know.
🐶 If the animal’s owner says “no”, always respect their request. You probably wouldn’t want a stranger hugging you either!
🐾 Always give pets a choice to interact. Letting them approach you to initiate contact is the best way to be sure they are consenting.
🐶 Stop petting every 3-5 seconds and allow your pet the option of showing they are still enjoying your attention and participating willingly.
🐾 Interactions between animals and children should always be supervised.
🐶 Having a healthy respect for an animal’s boundaries will keep everyone safe and happy.

If you have permission to pet, these are the areas cats and dogs are most likely to enjoy being stroked. Always check first, because every dog and cat is different! 🙂

In 2017, Chile faced the worst wildfire season in its history, which destroyed more than 1.4 million acres of land, including nearly 1,500 homes and claimed at least 11 lives. Several countries sent firefighters to help Chile battle the numerous blazes, but when the fires were finally extinguished,....
