How to Massage My Older Dog: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "How to Massage My Older Dog" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
All of a sudden you realize that you have a senior citizen living with you. It all happened so gradually.
Now I realize that my older dog needs some extra TLC, tender loving care. Ive felt the benefits of massage, you tell yourself. I get massage when I feel stiff, or sore, or generally stressed out.
Of course, you reason. Massage will help my dog too.
How to Massage My Older Dog is an instruction manual for learning to use massage in the care of our aging dogs at home.
The older dog is the dog that is mature. Although he may occasionally act like a puppy, he has moved past that predominant behavior. The older dog is more pensive, more careful, and more cautious in the way he moves and acts.
The massage that you will learn in How to Massage My Older Dog fulfills the specific needs of this select group of thoughtful dogs.
As our dogs get older, both chronologically and experientially, they show signs of a lifetime of wear and tear. Years of running and slipping, sliding and turning, jumping, landing, chasing, playing and pulling have all left their marks on our dogs bodies, minds and spirits, not to mention their muscles, joints, skin and coat.
Over the years, our dogs may have developed diseases that have been treated by veterinarians. Fleas, tics, broken bones and surgeries, each leave a slightly weakened body in its wake. Your dog may be currently experiencing compromised joints, poor circulation, and nervousness. While the massage form that you will learn in How to Massage My Older Dog will not cure any of these conditions, it will help your dog reestablish comfort and improve his overall quality of life.
When dogs have physical limitations due to injuries, diseases, and infirmities, their exercise activity is self-limited.
Older dogs need to be roused from their tendency toward lethargy and lack of movement. The massage that older dogs receive will increase circulation, increase skin, coat, and muscle tone, gently stretch the joints, increase respiration, and increase body awareness.
PetMassageTM works on the soft tissue, the fascia of the body. During every interaction, the fascia responds, affecting digestion, cardiovascular and lymphatic circulation, stimulating skin, nerves, fluids in joints, hormones and pheromones, even the energy that flows through acupressure points and meridians.
The intention of a PetMassageTM is to create an ambient environment within the dogs body and mind, where the animals natural tendencies toward homeostasis, health, wellness and balance, are supported. Providing this in the context of the practice of veterinary medicine is a return to the familiar. It is effective and nurturing. It is understandable and relatable. It is patient-centered. It is old-fashioned. PetMassageTM is, by definition, hands-on care.
As you practice Older Dog PetMassageTM and become proficient with the form, you will notice that each massage becomes a unique experience. Each experience is an opportunity for you to help your dog make a little shift internally. As your dog continues to process each tiny course correction, the benefits of massage continues to accrue.
The feel-good experience does not stop when the PetMassageTM ends. The increased respiration, increased lymphatic drainage, and increased cardio-vascular circulation all combine to promote positive, healthy change in the body.
Youll see the Older Dog PetMassageTM
Restore the feeling of comfort
Increase circulation
Restore flexibility
Restore the feeling of strength
Restore the feeling of balance
Support the puppy inside

Introduction
To many of us, dogs are soul mates, trusted companions for many years. When I tell people what I do, I usually see a big smile and listen as they tell me, I massage my dog all the time. She loves it; especially (pick one) when I rub her butt / squeeze her shoulders / scratch her belly / dig in around her ears.
Everyone has a naturally intuitive way of massaging their dogs. You already give basic massage to your dogs. It's a talent that comes naturally.
Does day-to-day petting count as massage? Massage in the broadest sense, yes. PetMassage? No.
PetMassage is a deliberate and focused skill set for touching your dog. It provides benefits to dogs that are so much more profound than they could get from affectionate petting, exercise or play.
To give your dog the gift of PetMassage, is to reward him/her for a lifetime of companionship and friendship.
If you accept the premises that
1) most diseases and dysfunctional behaviors are caused by stress, and that
2) PetMassage induces relaxation and reduces stress,
you can join with me in understanding how PetMassage works.
No one can see for another, not one.
No one can feel for another, not one.
No one can hear for another, not one.
No one can experience for another, not one.
No one can achieve for another, not one.
No one can grow for another, not one.
No one can live for another, not one.
However
You can help another interpret what they see.
You can help another gain sensitivity in touch.
You can help another understand what they hear.
You can set the stage for experience.
You can help another make the most of what they have.
You can help create a climate for growth.
You can help make life more worth living.

Disclaimer
PetMassage is used along with conventional and complementary health care as well as proper dog handling techniques to enable your dog to perform at an optimum level. By itself, PetMassage does not attempt to cure anything. By reducing restrictions and encouraging movement, it creates an ambient environment within the canine body that is more conducive to the states of wellness and healing.
Working with any animal involves inherent risk. While general massage techniques and animal handling are all to be applied lovingly and gently, any animal or human will react negatively to impressions or contact that may feel abusive, invasive, or inappropriate.
The reader should regularly consult with a veterinarian in matters relating to a condition or behavior that may require diagnosis or medical attention. If you have any questions regarding the efficacy of the techniques shown in this video please consult with your veterinarian or qualified animal massage practitioner.
