Chris Mesa, AZ 10/22/2011 4:30:34 PM This is very sensible. It is something I do without thinking about it.
Audrey Smith New Cumberland, PA 3/13/2010 12:39:56 PM I will NOT pay on-line for a pet medical question!! That is a scam!! I can call my vet and have asked questions that they answered for FREE! You should allow at least 3 FREE questions.
Tim Arlington, MA 2/22/2010 3:28:00 PM Well written and nice descriptions of technique. I look forward to trying them on my 10-yr old Golden Retriever to help his hip problems.
Renata Surprise, AZ 11/26/2009 7:48:16 PM Thanks so much , my Noble has been disgnostic with Hipdysplasia. He lost complete control from his waist down. I will carefully do what you said do try to keep him as comfortable as possible.
Leah Hasting-on-Hudson, NY 10/27/2009 8:26:41 AM Thank you so much. I wanted to begin massaging my fifteen year old arthriticChow Chow, but was unsure and did not want to unknowingly do any damage. This gives me the technique and method knowledge I needed to make sure I didn't harm her. Thanks again!
Terry Corona del Mar, CA 8/17/2009 10:23:57 AM Nicely written article. For more info on dog massage go to www.pawsitivefeelings.com
Liza Grand Bay-Westfield, NB 3/23/2009 1:27:55 PM Great info! My dog doesn't have arthritis but he melts when I take the time to massage him.
Anna Maple Grove, MN 3/23/2009 6:56:23 AM Great article! I learned alot that I will have to try on my dog. :)
Donna Limington, ME 9/25/2008 11:26:57 AM Thank you for this informative article. I have been massaging my JRT, but haven't been doing all I could have been doing.

Amanda San Antonio, TX 7/27/2008 7:49:43 AM These are actually really good tips, I run dog agility with my border collie and I do things similar to these before every run. First I stretch her, then I rub her all over then, I stretch her out one more time. But I would recomend using these tips!!!
Cheril Amarillo, TX 7/23/2008 6:16:35 AM This is good to know ... I'll print this for future reference! Thanks!
Genete Santa Maria, CA 7/22/2008 6:41:29 PM I am a licensed canine medical massage therapist & I teach pet first aid with the Am. Red Cross. This is wonderful to see because I know that in my practice it helps the dogs tremendously!! I love Jean-Pierre's book because it is a great reference tool. Thank you for giving out this useful info.
Pat San Angelo, TX 7/22/2008 3:17:36 PM It's good to know something can be done to ease arthritis pain for our dogs. We love them so much and hate to see them hurt.
Sue 3 Oaks, MI 7/22/2008 1:47:42 PM These tips were great! Of course a massage can be beneficial to our canine friends, just like it is to humans!
IndyDogMom Indianapolis, IN 7/22/2008 6:50:45 AM I found it helpful to start doing this on my younger dogs - it helped them get use to the touch/light pressure. I asked my vet before doing this and she said it was a great idea. I am thrilled to see Dog Channel posting news articles about alternative treatments for pets - instead of the usual mind set of pushing medicine. Thank you Dog Channel!
