Veterinary Care & Massage
Poochie Mama Canine Care does not diagnose conditions or prescribe medication. Canine massage is not a substitute for veterinary care and illness, injury and physical complications in your dog should always be medically diagnosed and treated. Please chat with your vet before commencing massage treatments.

Massage Treatments for a Variety of Conditions
ANXIETY
Being overly anxious can have any number of causes such as an historical event, a particular environment, a disruption to their home routine or perhaps being rehomed.
ARTHRITIS
Arthritis causes inflammation and pain of the joints and reduced range of motion, which in turn causes tight muscles, weak muscles and less mobility.
SPORTING DOGS
Any human athlete would include regular physical therapies with specific nutrition and a regimented training schedule to keep them in peak condition to perform at their best and your dog should be no different.
PRE & POST SURGERY CARE
Canine massage can be used prior to and after surgery to give your dog the best chance of success.
HIP DYSPLASIA
Hip dysplasia is a structural malformation of the hip joint, where the socket shape of the hip joint and the ball shape of the end of the thigh bone don't fit well together.
CRUCIATE INJURIES
The cruciates are 2 ligaments supporting the knee joint and just like in humans (especially AFL players), a dog's cruciate ligaments can be damaged
LUXATING PATELLA
Luxating patella is a condition where the kneecap pops out of the groove in which it is meant to sit. Massage is a complementary adjunct to veterinary treatments.
AMPUTEES & DISABLED DOGS
Tripawd dogs are remarkable and adaptable but they are also going to be suffering a bit and remedial massages are vital to ensure that they are comfortable and healthy.
GENERAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
Just as it is for humans, canine remedial massage is useful in treating dysfunction when things aren't working right but also beneficial in keeping things that way.
