| My chiropractor showed me how to give my dogs a massage because he too a class in animal chiropractics and massage and he apparently gives his cat an adjustment once a month!

| I do Tibbe's massages & he just zones out. I think any dog would love any massage!

| I always rub gently between the shoulders starting from their head towards their bottom. If they are okay with it then in the same downward motions on their neck and down the back to their hips. Never anything like you'd do on a person for a deep tissue always going from head to tail never return or press forward from tail to head. Soemtimes mine just walk away or do that bottom to my leg because they just want to be petted or scratched. I should make a video sometime with what he showed me... here I just google and watched a few this one is great and a how to by a vet. See how once he goes past the neck he never pushed the muscle toward the head always down from head to tail.

| Yep, Harry gets a massage every time he goes to his groomer's - it's part of 'the package' along with nails etc. etc. (nails cut, I mean - not nail polish...) Sally + Harry x |

My boys love massage. We do it at home ourselves every day. First the boys beg grandpa, then me, then grandpa. Max especially loves having his shoulders done.
