 Exactly what I needed for my dog's rehab from surgery November 30, 2008
celtic princess (Hamilton, VA)
Our Border Collie had a malignant tumor removed along with half of his triceps, We needed to massage his leg before and after walking & swim therapy. The book was helpful as it showed different types of massage and exactly where it was needed. The Canine Massage book was very thorough and covered a lot of detail without being too technical.

I donated this to a yard sale. Not impressed by it. Someone else got a good deal at $1 and that dollar went to a great cause.

I am going to school to learn Pet Massage and this book has been a great help. We need more people to learn to massage their dogs and keep them health and happy.
Canine Massage is Great October 22, 2007

I found Canine Massage: A Complete Reference Manual to be a valuable reference tool for dog massage. Together, I purchased Canine Massage: Complete Reference Manual and Canine Massage DVD (Integrated Touch Therapy). Having the ability to reference and read what is described on the DVD has enabled me to put together a great massage therapy program for my canine clients.
A "must-have" for anyone charged with holistic therapeutic treatment of a stressed or sick dog January 10, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
40 out of 43 found this review helpful
Now in an updated second edition, Canine Massage: A Complete Reference Manual is for dog trainers, breeders, handlers, and ordinary pet owners alike. Author and licensed massage therapist Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt, who treated athletes and world dignitaries before he applied his animal empathy talents toward canine massage, offers clear information illustrated with practical black-and-white "how-to" diagrams. Chapters cover dog kinesiology, principles and concepts of massage, common stress areas, stretching, hydrotherapy, common problems such as inflammation and scar tissue, and much more. Canine Massage is a serious, in-depth guide written by an expert, for professionals, although it is comprehensible to lay people. A "must-have" for anyone charged with holistic therapeutic treatment of a stressed or sick dog.
