Zak bear is so chilled, gentle and just the best cuddle monster 🐻🐾😂

His second massage session tonight and so many improvements already 🥰

Ending my day with the gentleman that is Bowie 🩵 helping to put a spring back into his stride.

His maintenance massages help ease his aging body, releasing areas of tightness and removing waste, giving the muscles fresh oxygen and nutrients to keep them in good condition. Endorphins are also released which will make him feel just lovely 🥰

Lots of Easter treats contain dried fruit, but if you are tucking into Hot Cross Buns or Simnel cake this year, be sure to keep them away from your dog!

Raisins, or anything that contains grape skins (including fresh grapes, sultanas or currants) are poisonous to dogs. They cause kidney failure, which sadly can be fatal. The effects of eating raisins are hard to predict - some dogs will eat a lot of raisins and be fine, whilst others can become sick after eating just two or three.

Kidney failure is very hard to treat, so we recommend being cautious. If you think your dog may have eaten any raisin-containing food, call the practice immediately for advice!

Just a few spaces left!!!

If you live near Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds or Sudbury there are still a couple of places available so don’t miss out on this lovely workshop that will create a deeper bond between you and your dog.

By the end of the day you will also have learnt about ways to spot subtle signs of muscular dysfunction in your dog, more about their skeletal and muscular systems and a full 40 min Swedish massage routine.

You definitely won’t be disappointed. It was actually this workshop that inspired me to begin training as a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist with the Canine Massage Therapy Centre 😍

‼️There's still time to book your space on the 'Canine Massage Therapy Workshop'‼️

⭐️WHEN? - Saturday 6th April, 9:30am-4pm
⭐️ WHERE? - Denston Village Hall (CB8 8PN)

A dog has around 700 muscles which pull on bones to produce movement.

Here are a few things that can cause tight muscles which Clinical Canine Massage can help alleviate:
🐾 Dysfunctional fascia
🐾 Scar tissue
🐾 Stress
🐾 Orthopedic Conditions
🐾 Repetitive strain
🐾 Age
🐾 Soft tissue injury
🐾 Post surgery

Booking is officially OPEN for this once in a lifetime experience with your dog! 'A Walk Between Worlds K9 Retreat' happens on 14th-16th July 2024 at the luxurious Hellens Manor in Herefordshire! See more..
https://www.k9-massage.co.uk/.../walk-between-worlds.../

Our attendees from last year told us how much it:
* propelled their relationship with their dog to next level
awareness
* provided them with a range of new skills & techniques they
could use with their own dog
* was a magical experience like nothing they had ever
experienced
* gave them a special time to create memories, relax and
recuperate with their dog
* opened their eyes to connect with their dogs on a much deeper
and meaningful level through the world of energy and the
quantum field of potentials.

We can't wait to see you there!

So in love with you 💙

I actually think I needed you more than you needed me yesterday 🥰🐾 what a lovely session we had, just some tight fascia but you trust me to sort this for you 🫶 oh and lots of cuddles of course 😘

Your coat was shining, your eyes were sparkling and that tail was circling furiously. Looking good kid!!

Zak had his first massage session this weekend and took to it like a pro 💙 dogs are so intuitive, he knew from the start I was there to help him so he relaxed and slept most of the time 💤

Incorporating massage with his hydrotherapy sessions will benefit this guy immensely 🐾🥰

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums whose children have paws and fur 🐾🐕

Agility boy Luka 💙

Normally full of beans, Luka loves to take time out in his massage sessions and is asleep and snoring within seconds 😴💤 time to rest and recover.

We found some myofascial pain today but soon released the fascia allowing freedom for full natural movement 🐾

No stress here, just chilling out getting Crafts ready! 😆

Good luck this weekend to all my clients heading to Birmingham for one of the biggest weekends of the year for these pooches 🤩🍀

What a fantastic day this was 😊 surrounded by awesome friends and pooches 🐾🥰

Clinical Canine Massage has so many benefits for the older pooches 🐾

Why not help your dog to feel the benefits 🫶

The weekend involved a sea of Ginger 🫚

These beauties are all gearing up for Crufts in a couple of weeks time. They are lucky enough to enjoy a multimodal approach to therapy with massage and hydrotherapy 💦

The shear pleasure on Florence's face as she stretches out after her session is an absolute delight 💖🐾

🌊

Please can we have a little more of that massage business? 😆
Gorgeous Bowie really enjoys his massage sessions and with each one we adapt to what his requirements are 🥰

Hearing that he took a stick to his pawrent the following day wanting to play is so heartwarming and encouraging for us all 🐾

Jack the lad 🐾 enjoyed a massage this week and was feeling good 😊

This little guy is on the Vet before it's unfolded and knows exactly what's in store for him 🙃 😆

His sessions make sure he maintains optimal muscular function, keeping him in a tip top physical condition.
And for me his sessions mean I get some Jack cuddles,
so its a win around 🥰

🐾💚

Holly 😇

Our 3rd massage session for an injury she sustained.
So happy to see that her lameness has been resolved now, she is weight bearing equally and back to her happy self 🐾

This little girl has a very special place in my heart, a beam of beautiful light 💖 and always likes to show me her special toys 🤗

As well as helping these conditions, ANY dog can benefit from Clinical Canine Massage Therapy.

Results you can see and your dog can feel!

🐾 Pets
🐾 Young
🐾 Old
🐾 Working
🐾 Sporting
🐾 Show

Message me if you think massage could make your dog more comfortable 😊

💖 Tetley 💖

Due early March 😇

New kid on the block 🐾

This ball of fur hasn't been blessed with the best hips and at just 5 years old he is starting to slow down, feeling the stiffness is his hind quarters and overcompensating through his spinal muscles too.
BUT... he is starting massage treatment to help all this and hopefully we'll have him feeling less discomfort, able to move more freely and get those muscles eased out for him.

🐾💚

🚨 Slippery floors 🚨

Did you know they can be causing your dog harm?

They can cause soft tissue injuries.
Impact joint stability.
Cause back injuries as the body tries to stabilise through the spine.
Add stress to already compromised joints with conditions such as arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia.
Cause anxiety as they struggle to modulate their grip and slide out of control.

Just by placing runners, rugs or odd pieces of carpet over these floor surfaces can be so beneficial to dogs.

No photos please 😆

This chap has a character larger than life and it's such a pleasure that I get to work with him.

He is the best companion to his hooman and they both love a good long walk, massage keeps Tommy in tip top condition for all his adventures 🐾

Luka is doing so well with his massage, his owner has reported improvements already which is always lovely to hear 🙂
