All Animals are candidates for massage. Pets naturally come to their owners to be petted, as a sign of approval, reward and/or affection. Touch is a very basic bond between animals and people. It is not surprising, that touch is a powerful technique for healing.

Jedidiah offers private at-home massage sessions and large group seminars teaching you how to use massage as a way of bonding with your pet.

Here are some behavioral or health reasons to have your animal massaged:

Afraid of strangers or vets Afraid of loud noises Urinating when scared or excited Barking uncontrollably Hyperactivity Nervous before competitions Fearful and insecure Shy Chewing on objects Aggressive toward other dogs and cats Pulling or lagging behind on leash Vomiting or being nervous in the car Unhappy during grooming Unwilling to be bathed

Difficulty trimming nails Fresh Injury Wound that is healing Surgery Fever In shock after an accident Arthritis Hip Dysplasia Teething Indigestion Colic Sensitive Ears Stiff Joints Difficulty getting up or going down stairs Allergies or Itching
