We, as dog carers, have different needs and preferences, just like our dogs. For this reason, chiropractic treatments may be a better fit for you and your dog than massage.

A while ago I wrote a blog (see “Dangers of dogs pulling on lead”) about the health risks of dogs pulling on lead. In this blog, I highlighted the potential for muscle strain when a dog is pulling on a lead and off balance.
Over the weekend I attended a very interesting seminar with the speaker Els Vidts from Belgium that discussed the same topic. The key message from the seminar was that dogs pulling against a collar or receiving leash corrections from check chains, flat collars or slip collars can damage the dog’s neck in many ways.

In my experience, regular massage treatments initially, acclimatises the dog to the treatment protocol, loosens the fascia and muscles, and provides relief from muscle tension and pain. These benefits can then be maintained by semi-regular “top up” massage treatments. This protocol is supported by a number of human studies.
