The Benefits of Massage for Your Dog

Jennifer.png

In this episode we are going to learn about the benefits of massage for your dog.  I am so excited to have Jennifer Robertson on the show with us.  She is a small animal massage practitioner in the Los Angeles area and her company is I Work For Dogs.  Jennifer studied at the Northwest School of Animal Massage near Seattle and has also studied acupressure as well.

How did you get started in this field?

How would you define massage?

Why do dogs need it? 

What can massage help with?

How does massage on humans vs dogs differ?

Do most dogs sit still? 

What could one expect from their dog’s first massage treatment? 

How long are follow-up sessions and how frequent should they be? 

Anything someone would do to prepare their dog for a session?

What should be expected after a session?

Can I massage my dog on my own at home?

Are there instances when dogs should not receive massage? 

Any success stories?

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
