Product Description

Review

"Overall Rating: 10/10. I especially liked the way that enjoyment and partnership are stressed...[the authors] are quite obviously dog owners themselves who enjoy the company of their dogs." -- Brenda Tenten, www.agilitynet.com, May 2005. "This book will certainly strengthen the bond between you and your best friend!" -- Pedigree Dogs, 2005. "Littered with easy to follow illustrations and practical 'how to' examples, it would be impossible to believe any dog owner could read this book without immediately wanting to apply its advice to their own grateful canine friends." -- K9 Magazine.

Product Description

Massage and stretching build contact between you and your dog in a natural way. Massage is an enjoyable way of strengthening the bond with your family dog. Apart from the physical and psychological effects, you familiarise the dog with being handled and this can be of great value in other situations. As a dog owner you can massage and stretch your dog's muscles regularly. This enables your dog to maintain good health longer through life and improves the quality of your dog's life. The risk of injury is substantially reduced and you may be able to detect changes in your dog's health before they can be seen. Massage and stretching will give you a happy and healthy canine friend. Your dog will want a massage and will no longer be content with random rubbing and nether will you. In this colourful book you will learn the basics of dog massage and stretching in a simple step by step manual. The authors are licensed dog physiotherapists and treat dogs with muscle, tendon, joint and cartilage related problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, 16 Feb 2005

By A Customer

I really love this book and my dog certainly agrees!

I have previously been told about the benefits of both dog massage and stretching but before I bought this book I hadn't come across any books or manuals clear/comprehensive enough to make me feel comfortable with putting theory into practice. Then, a few weeks ago, a vet recommended this new book to me. I was soon able to practise massage and stretching on my dog and have experienced a very positive respons from him! He really enjoys it! Now it's my turn to recommend this book to other dog owners! There are several reasons:

I had never really massaged or stretched my dog before but the instructions, both visual and in text, were clear and easy to follow. On top of that, this book is a pure joy to read for anyone interested in the welfare of their dogs. It is possible to jump straight to the "practical" chapters about massage and stretching. However, the contents (well written and, again, easy to comprehend) as well as the great layout with lots of wonderful pictures ensures that you really don't want to skip a single page.

As stated in the book, our dogs really give us so much and it feels great to be able to give something back! Thanks to this book I can provide that extra care!

In short, this is a very good investment for any dog owner and, with its nice layout, also a great gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, 8 Jun 2005

By	F. A. Begbie (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was sent a review copy of this book I must confess that I was sceptical and certainly did not think that my wee labrador would be much impressed by the idea. However, having read the book, it did all seem to make good sense and it is certainly written in a very clear and well illustrated form.

To my surprise, when I did start to massage my dog, he just lay down, grinned and let me know he was thoroughly enjoying it.
