Warm up and Cool Down massage Course
From the heart-pounding excitement of Agility and Flyball to the serene tranquility of long, scenic walks, your bond knows no bounds.
Just like us humans, our four-legged athletes need some TLC to perform their best and stay healthy. That’s where the magic of Pre-Event Warm-Up and Post-Event Cool-Down massages comes into play!
Think about it: before diving headfirst into action-packed fun, a little warm-up can do wonders. It’s like priming a well-oiled machine, ready to tackle any challenge with grace and agility. And afterwards, when the adrenaline rush settles, a soothing cool-down session is the perfect antidote to stiffness and fatigue.
So, whether your pup is a champion on the course or your trusty sidekick on epic hiking adventures, mastering these massage techniques is the key to unlocking their full potential and ensuring their well-being. After all, every superstar deserves a little pampering, don’t they?

Typical Rehabilitation Times for Soft Tissue Injuries
Typical rehabilitation times for soft tissue injuries
Soft tissue injuries are quite common in dogs and I am often asked how long it will take for the injury to heal.
Some dogs may recover quicker than others, however, in a nutshell, the type of tissue injury and its severity will impact the time required for the tissue to heal.
Patience and compliance to a rehabilitation program is key to a successful recovery.
If you dog has been diagnosed with such an injury, I hope that this brief summary of the average time you may expect for a soft tissue injury to heal will help you to manage your expectations.
