I offer Clinical Canine Massage Therapy in the comfort of your own home allowing your dog to relax in a familiar environment that they can feel safe and secure in. Each treatment is bespoke to ensure your dog receives the right treatment plan with the care and compassion they deserve. Dogs have their own unique personalities, and they are not expected to stay still for the entire session. I work with your dog not on them, and can adapt each treatment according to their likes and dislikes allowing them time to settle and breaks if needed.

I love to talk all things dogs! If you are unsure if Clinical Canine Massage can support your dog, I am always happy to discuss their individual needs. Please complete the contact form or Tel 07977 016999

 

In compliance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and the Veterinary Exemptions Order 2015 I will only treat a dog with prior veterinary consent. A veterinary consent

form will be sent to you and will need to be signed and with you at your dog’s first treatment.


Please contact me here for further details

Follow up and maintenance treatments are 60 minutes and include:

Each follow-up consultation will include a review of your dog's progress, and an assessment of how your dog has been since their last treatment.

An assessment of gait and posture to identify any changes since the last treatment. 

A palpation and muscular health check.

I also offer a free muscular health check which normally takes between 15-30 minutes at local events. You can bring your dog along for a free palpation to assess whether your dog has any soft tissue injuries.

How to maximise and support your dog during their treatment

To ensure your dog has the best possible experience and benefits fully from their treatment, here are some helpful tips: 

 

  • Ensure your dog has had a chance for a comfort break prior to the treatment. 

  • Provide a quiet space for the session, that is free from interruptions or distractions. 

  • Try not to schedule appointments around your dog's feeding times

  • Dogs are highly perceptive and can sense your anxiety about the treatment, so where possible take a moment to calm yourself and your dog. I have a relaxed and friendly approach, and of course we all love a dog with a bit of character!

  • Each dog is unique and have their own preferences and it's normal for them to need time to adjust. Some dogs love lying down and other prefer to sit, I don’t expect them to remain still for an entire session. My aim is to keep your dog comfortable, whether that’s sitting, lying down, on the floor, or a massage couch, I customise each session to let your dog feel safe and benefit fully from their treatment.
