My dog, Amos, was very old and in pain due to severe arthritis. Our Guild therapist worked gently, slowly and carefully around his conditions, and so from the start Amos trusted her. My only regret is that we didn’t find out about Clinical Canine Massage sooner.

Amber had a lovely massage with her Guild Therapist today. Amber is a 12-year-old King Charles who has spondylitis and arthritis. We can really see a difference – even my sceptical husband agrees! #spondylitis #arthritis

Clinical Canine Massage Therapy has been so important to keep Harvey, our 11-year-old Sprocker on the road. He’s crippled with arthritis, but the combination of NSAIDs and massage keeps him happy – and stealing food from my son! #caninearthritis #sprocker #olderdog

Vader, my 13-year-old English Springer Spaniel, suffered with such awful osteoarthritis for many years, he needed many strong painkillers. After a couple of sessions of Clinical Canine Massage Therapy he was moving so much better. Now he has regular sessions and doesn’t need so many painkillers. He absolutely loves his treatment. #spaniel #arthritis #olderdog

I don’t know what you did, but our black Lab has never slept through the postman before. He suffers arthritis due to elbow dysplasia, and he often struggles on his walks, but when he woke up following his first Clinical Canine Massage session he was giddy with excitement and more playful than he’s been for a long time. #Labrador, #Arthritis, #Elbow Dysplasia, #Slowing Down

Our Labrador, Millie, has been on strong pain medication for osteoarthritis and she can act very strangely at times. After three sessions of Clinical Canine Massage, the whole family noticed how much younger she appeared, and how she was playing with other dogs again. Her strange behaviour has stopped, and we’ve got our Millie back! #labrador #arthritis

Maggie, our 13-year-old Collie, was suffering with stiffness due to arthritis. Clinical Canine Massage came highly recommended from a very satisfied client. From our first session the difference was apparent, both physical and mentally, giving Maggie a new lease of life. #collie #olderdog #arthritis

Clinical Canine Massage Therapy made all the difference to my old Labrador’s quality of life during his last years. Each session increased his mobility and general comfort levels visibly, so much more than any medication we had previously tried for his arthritis. It was wonderful knowing that such therapeutic touch was enhancing his whole well-being, naturally, as well as sending him into a blissful state. #labrador #arthritis #olderdog

My 9-year-old whippet has stiff hips due to suspected arthritis and was taking vet- prescribed painkillers. But since having Clinical Canine Massage, she’s a different dog and doesn’t need painkillers anymore. #Whippet, #Arthritis

Ash is a 12-year-old Greyhound with arthritis and a poor appetite. He’s unbalanced and wobbly but right from the first session of Clinical Canine Massage, Ash had an improved appetite and was less stiff and hasn’t fallen over, which he used to regularly. #Greyhound, #Arthritis, #Stiffness

Barney has both elbow and hip dysplasia along with arthritis. He’s a typical spaniel but massage helps every time and calms him to the point of sleeping. The monthly massages have really benefited Barney.

My dog, Cassie, is 11 years old and gets very sore as a result of osteoarthritis. Normally very protective of her painful spots, Cassie trusts her Guild Therapist implicitly and, amazingly, actually presents her sore shoulder for treatment!” #arthritis #olderdog

Our elderly dog has both arthritis and muscle wastage but thanks to my Guild therapist’s magic touch, Harvey our Golden Retriever was happy and comfortable enough to enjoy his 13th birthday a couple of days ago! I would wholeheartedly recommend Clinical Canine Massage therapy to anyone. #goldenretriever #oldage

My 18-year-old Miniature Schnauzer suffers from arthritis. Hector’s tummy can’t tolerate pain medication, so we are really thankful that we came across Clinical Canine Massage! He loves the treatment and afterwards it’s much easier for him to get up after lying down. He relies on his monthly Clinical Canine Massage to keep him comfortable. It’s a must for any old dog who needs a new lease of life! #schnauzer #olderdog #arthritis

Winston our 12-year-old black Labrador has arthritis and was struggling to walk. Now, after Clinical Canine Massage, he is moving more easily and he’s more agile. Clinical Canine Massage definitely helped him and I recommend it to all dog-owners.
