Dog Massage – Indulge Your Dog By Giving Him A Pet Massage (Part 1)

When it comes to loving your dog, this does not mean that you need to show your dog the attention it needs among other things, but it also means indulging him with a good old fashioned dog massage. Just like petting your dog, giving him or her a massage is not just an indulgence, it is also very good for their physical health.

Giving your pet a massage will give him an instant gratification through relaxation and comfort as well as the warmth that your pet feels simply from being loved by his owner. Increased performances of pet massages will lead to an increased desensitizing of your pet to the touch of stranger and as a result, it will help when it comes to things like grooming or even a visit to the veterinarian.

Treating your dog to a relaxing pet massage is an excellent way to bond with him. Not only will he love the way it feels, but he will appreciate the time and attention that you are giving him, a true treat that will make your dog’s heart melt with joy.

Below is a simple step-by-step procedure to giving your dog a relaxing massage, starting from the top of his head down to his muzzle.

1. Call your dog and tell him to sit.

2. Ease your way into the massage. Start by giving him a light caress the way you would normally do. This way, he won’t think that you are about to do something different that might probably scare him away.

3. Give him an overall petting, from head to toe. Apply firm but gentle long strokes. The stroking prepares his muscles for more intense work and makes your dog feel more relaxed. Do this for about two more minutes.

4). Start by moving to his head and placing your fingers under the muzzle and thumbs on top of the head. Let your fingers massage the lower jaw and muzzle area while your thumbs massage his forehead, ears and sides.

5. Next, massage his ears, one ear at a time. Your dog’s ears contain a lot of nerve endings and massaging them will feel very good to him. Do this for at least one minute per ear.

6). Now is for the forehead specifically which you will massage for about 30 seconds before making your way to his cheeks for an additional 30 seconds followed by the muzzle for 30 seconds more.
