massage therapy for furkids

[baloobear2]

Does anyone have any good sites or book any info on massage for dogs. Baloo likes when I manipulate his joints softly and his back, but just was interested if there was some info out there that newf people trust or recommend.

Thanks
Mickey and Baloo

Here ya go Mickey....HTH

I know it's used for dogs with problems, but I'd think it could just be used for relaxation as well.

Tellington Touch is real good also.

If you want to learn physiology along with doing the massage these schools are very good:

Both have books. Who know you may get interested and decide to be certified and help other folks with their pets!

Hi
I completed a Canine Massage Certification program some time ago at a school called Treetops

http://www.treetopsweb.com/courses.htm

they offer the program as a home study as well. It is very thorough, very challenging - I loved every minute of it and so did my Newf Timber! Since then I have massaged many furkids - it has been such a rewarding experience. I highly recommend this program.

good luck,

Marina
