Dog massage gives your dog your love! It increases the bond you already have with your dog. Those regular dog massage sessions are also a great way to do a weekly wellness check to assess any changes in your dog’s health. Is there a new lump or bump? Is there a sore that won’t heal? Does your dog flinch when you touch a particular spot? By detecting problems earlier, you can alert your veterinarian and thus nip a more serious problem in the bud. You’re giving your dog a gift of something that they cannot do for themselves, like treat their paws, or rub their neck. They can’t tell you “it itches here, it hurts here.” But through dog massage, you can learn to read signals and notice changes with an educated eye.

REIKI (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Energy,” the vital, creative force that flows through everything. Reiki is the use of energy to heal and can help remove blockages, balance energy and help identify physical pain. Reiki healing stimulates the energy to flow properly, while also cleansing the energy within and around the body to speed up the healing process. Performed remotely (distant healing), or in-person through touch, Reiki practitioners pass a higher frequency energy to their animal patients to assist them in healing themselves. Reiki is non-invasive and gentle, yet can help heal and energize an animal’s body on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. See more info on Reiki for Dogs.

Reiki is also smart enough to know how much energy, making it impossible to overdose on energy or otherwise cause harm. Think of Reiki for dogs as a natural supplement, kind of like daily vitamins that just so happen to be packed with nutrients.

Using Reiki as a complimentary therapy at a veterinarian’s office is an excellent way to help ease the increased stress level your dog may experience while at the office. Reiki can also help your dog heal emotionally and physically from any treatments that may have to be performed once you return home. If your dog has had surgery, Reiki can help the overall healing process. I work with several veterinarians, both remotely and at animal hospitals, to assist dogs during the office visit and after the dog returns home. When I perform a Reiki session at a veterinarian’s office or off-site location, I will try to make the room as comfortable as possible. I dim the lights, provide a comfortable bed for them to lie in if they wish and maybe softly play meditation music. It is important that everyone is open to the energy healing and remain relaxed. This includes the dog, their human companion and me.

Canine Massage Puts More “Pep” in Charlie’s Step: You’d never know that Charlie, an athletic spaniel/basset mix, is 12 years old. However, his owner noticed subtle signs of aging and wanted to help improve his muscle tone and make him feel good. “Charlie is a high energy, athletic dog, who does everything at 150 percent. Over the course of his canine massage treatment, I noticed him becoming more and more relaxed and calm, even falling asleep as Gillian worked her magic. Dog massage has also helped Charlie’s athleticism. At twelve years old, he still loves to run and fetch. I believe that these animal massage treatments have helped improve his muscle tone. There’s a lot more “pep in his step,” and he is able to catch the ball on a bounce more often. He just seems happier and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome.” Source: https://fourpawsholistictherapy.com/.
