This group seeks to provide the information and knowledge to better aid your dog's health and longevity by the use of massage and stretching techniques.
Massage and stretching are an effective way to prevent muscle related problems and strain injuries and improve the quality of your dog's life.
Because massage is a natural, preventative way to improve your dog's health and well-being, it is beneficial for all dogs.
Massage is far more than just pampering your dog. It also improves the condition of the skin, coat, gums and teeth. It eases joint pain and discomfort, stimulates blood flow for nutrient absorption and muscle tone. It also stimulates the lymphatic system to strengthen the immune system, reduces stress and tension and generally regulates digestion.
The organizer, Vicki Sutkowski, is a registered Canine Massage Practitioner and Animal Reiki Practitioner. She is a member of the Animal Wellness Association. Vicki conducts more in-depth seminars which are periodically held in the GTA for a fee and which gives you more intensive information and tips. The seminar dates will be posted as they become available. Vicki also maintains a blog called The Senior Dog Blog. Please visit her site at: http://theseniordogblog.blogspot.com/
Our goal is to bring together other dog lovers and like minded individuals who seek to know more about canine massage and stretching and its many benefits.
This is not a replacement for veterinary care.
This is a presentation that will explain the benefits of stretching your dog, how to do it and a question and answer session afterward. I will recommend key books and hand out articles regarding the techniques used in class.
You are invited to bring your well behaved, healthy doggie to this session. Read more
