Is a canine massage only for top agility dogs? No!
Can it help pre and post op on your dog? Yes!
I chat to the lovely Hayley Hilton of Hands On Heart Clinical Massage Therapist, based near Warrington, and boy, we can talk! It’s a long one so be ready. You can see us on my YouTube channel (Pippin Pets).
Massages are becoming a lot more common for dogs now, as a way to help promote recovery from an injury, or to keep your dog in peak condition. Essential if you regularly compete in high intensity sports such as agility or canicross, or if your dog does lots of long runs with you. We need to treat them as top athletes, so that their risk of injury is mitigated.
But the lazy dogs can also benefit from a relaxing massage, better blood flow, and even small issues that can be resolved by this method rather than surgery (as a first option).
Senior dogs also benefit hugely. Arthritis is crippling, so keeping your dog mobile may help them enjoy a complete life with walks for longer.
Make sure your therapist is qualified, such as the ones on the Canine Massage Guild https://www.k9-massageguild.co.uk/
