I Went From Feeling Helpless to Empowered, Nov 27 2004

This review is from: The Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program (Paperback)
My beagle suffers from hip dysplasia and arthritis. The medication the vet prescribed helped, but my dog was still in a lot of pain. Out of desperation I decided to check out books on dog message and canine acupressure. The techniques outlined in this book worked miracles. My dog is now able to move with greater ease and with a lot less pain; in fact, at times he has the energy and stamina of a puppy again. I highly recommend this book for any one who can't sit back and watch a loved one suffer. It is a common sense, easy-to-understand approach to canine health.

dogs healing touch, Oct 5 2007

This review is from: The Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program (Paperback)
This is a great book with wonderful massage therapy for dogs and it gets specific to the problems the dog is having. It is also very easy to read and understand. I have not read it all, but did read the parts I needed right away and it helped a lot. A dog who had not been walking for several weeks is now able to walk again. I won't say it is all due to the therapy, but it certainly did contribute a lot. Well worth having in your book collection if you own dogs.

This review is from: The Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program (Paperback)
THE PUP is 16.5 years old and has arthritis in her back legs. She is on MediCam and glucosamine, which help, but was still having problems walking. I ordered "Healing Hands for Dogs" and started daily massage therapy. The improvement in movement was evident within a week. I highly recommend this book to all dog owners, not just those with arthritic pets. Massaging has a calming effect on both owner and dog, and I noticed an improvement in my arthritic hands!
