Dogs have been an integral part of the world's societies for centuries and it appears that in today's world this trend is increasing. People have dogs in their lives for various reasons including companionship, protection, work, and breeding. In all these scenarios a great amount of time is devoted to the care of the animal. Dog-Touch provides a service that enhances the quality of care for all dogs, through dog massage and other touch techniques. The resulting affects of dog massage can have immediate as well as progressive affects on the animal's health and behavior. Massage can also produce surprising results in the overall quality of the relationship between the animal and it's owner.
Dog-Touch services are devoted to the enhancement of the life experience of dogs and the relationships they have with their caretakers. Being healthy and well balanced physically, mentally, and emotionally requires nutrition, exercise, and physical touch. Dog-Touch provides the 'touch' part through application of massage therapy using basically the Swedish massage technique refined for a dogs anatomy.
I encourage pet owners to massage their animals. I also show them some of the basic massage strokes and the areas to which they can apply these techniques if they so chose. Dog massage is rewarding not only for the pet, but also for it's caretaker, as it promotes a happier, healthier, more functional dog, and residually creates a stronger bond and deeper understanding within the interrelationship. The latter can be very healing for the pet owner.
There are many advantages of dog massage therapy, but for now, here is a short list of benefits for pet and owner that come from dog massage. I believe that someday pet massage will be as common place as human massage through the ever increasing collective human awareness of the mutual advantages resulting from animal massage therapy. |
