Clinical Canine Massage is a natural form of pain relief and rehabilitation for dogs. I am a Clinical Canine Massage therapist who has completed over 2 years of training. I am registered with the Canine Massage Guild and have to complete a minimum of 25 hours CPD every year. During a canine massage I can use 4 disciplines of massage which cover over 50 techniques; Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue and the Lenton Method of Myofascial release.
Dog training is an essential aspect of responsible pet ownership, and the benefits it offers are immeasurable. Through structured games based training programs, scentwork and enrichment I help to build stronger relationships between dogs and their owner.
Games based training helps to build on Optimism, Confidence, Proximity, Calmness, Focus. Recall and Disengagement helping your dog make the right decisions in their day to day life
Dog walking is not just a necessary part of a dog's daily routine, but it also offers numerous benefits for both dogs and their owners. Regular walks provide dogs with essential physical exercise, helping to maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and strengthen muscles and joints.
Animal aromatherapy is a holistic approach that utilises essential oils to promote the overall well-being and health of animals. Just as humans can reap the benefits of essential oils, animals can also experience the therapeutic effects. Animal aromatherapy can be used to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and alleviate certain physical discomforts such as joint pain or skin irritations.

At Cowal K9 Care, I understand the importance of promoting your dog's overall well-being and creating a deep bond of trust and relaxation. I am a highly trained and experienced massage therapists specialising in providing top-quality care for your beloved pets.
During the trial session, I will work closely with your dog looking at their overall posture, gait, skin and nail condition. I will then conduct a muscle check of your dog using palpation techniques. I aim is to create a calming atmosphere that helps your dog enter a state of deep relaxation, this can take several sessions for this to occur once I have built trust with your dog.
But what exactly are the benefits of canine massage?
1. Stress and Anxiety Relief: Just like humans, dogs can experience stress and anxiety. Canine massage releases endorphins, which act as natural painkillers and mood elevators, reducing overall stress levels and promoting a sense of calm.
2. Pain Management: Massage can provide relief for dogs suffering from chronic pain or mobility issues. By targeting specific muscle groups and gently manipulating the soft tissues, massage helps improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort.
3. Enhanced Bonding: Providing your dog with regular massage sessions is a wonderful way to strengthen the bond between you and your pet. I will help guide you on how to interact with your dog during the session, fostering trust and increasing the level of communication and understanding between you.
4. Improved Range of Motion: Canine massage is particularly beneficial for older dogs or those recovering from injuries. By working on specific muscle groups, massage helps increase flexibility and improves the range of motion, ensuring your dog remains active and mobile as they age.
5. Overall Well-being: Canine massage offers multiple benefits that contribute to your dog's overall health and well-being. It boosts the immune system, improves digestion, and even aids in detoxification, creating a healthier and happier dog.
During the trial session, we will discuss your dog's specific needs and goals, allowing me to tailor the massage experience to their individual requirements. I will answer any questions you may have and provide you with valuable insights on how to continue supporting your dog's well-being at home.
