🐾 Melvin has graduated from Intermediate Dog Class! 🎓🐶

So proud of this clever boy and how far he has come. He’s learning so much, and we’re both enjoying the journey.

A big thank you to Meg from Dynamic Canine for all her guidance, patience and support along the way. We’re looking forward to Advanced Class and continuing to build on what we’ve learned!🐾💙

🐾 Tonka’s Progress💙🐾

When I first started working with Tonka, he was showing reduced mobility and strength through his hind end and often collapsed during his walks. His movement at home wasn’t as free, and he was more prone to slipping and splaying on smooth floorboards.
After weekly, then fortnightly and now trialling monthly massage and red-light sessions and Fast forward to today, and it’s wonderful to see how far he has come! 🥰

Through regular remedial massage and targeted plan, Tonka is now showing some really positive changes:
✨ More energy and enthusiasm�✨ A happier, more comfortable dog�✨ Improved range of motion (ROM)�✨ Greater strength and stability through his hind legs�✨ Less slipping and splaying on floorboards�✨ More confidence in his movement
And perhaps one of my favourite signs of progress — Tonka is much more relaxed and comfortable during his sessions. 💆‍♀️🐶
Massage improves mobility, muscle function, circulation, flexibility and body awareness.
Seeing changes like these is exactly why I love what I do. ❤️

Every dog is different, and every body tells a story. My job is to listen.

Tonka is moving better, feeling better and enjoying life — and that’s the best result of all. 🐶💙

SASHA

On Saturday, my beautiful Sasha girl gained her wings. 🌈💔🐾

Sasha was my best friend, my loyal companion, and a truly beautiful soul.
She had the kindest nature and a remarkable way of touching the hearts of everyone who met her.
She shared an incredible bond with Buzz, and after we lost him, she welcomed Melvin into our family with endless patience and love. She became his gentle mentor, teaching him the ways of life and helping shape him into the wonderful young dog he is becoming.

Over the past few weeks, Sasha faced enormous health challenges with the same quiet courage that defined her whole life. When the time came, I knew the greatest gift I could give her was to let her go with love, comfort and dignity, before pain could take away the quality of life she deserved.
She passed peacefully at home, warm and comfortable in one of her favourite places, resting in front of the Coonara fire, surrounded by love.

Thank you for choosing me and for being the very best part of my life, my gorgeous girl. It was the greatest privilege to love you.

Run pain-free, with your Buzzy boy once again. 🌈
You will be missed every single day and loved forever.

So Gentle. So Loyal. So Loved. ❤️🐾

💚 Progress worth celebrating! 💚

This gorgeous boy, Duke, has just completed his 3rd canine massage therapy session combined with photonic red light therapy, to help manage the discomfort and stiffness associated with his arthritis. What a difference I’m seeing already, even the owners have commented the change they are seeing.

Massage therapy helps improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, ease discomfort, and support better mobility alongside your dog's veterinary care.
After yesterday's session, Duke was so relaxed he melted into his bed and drifted off into a deep, comfortable sleep. 🐾❤️ Sometimes the best sign that a dog is feeling better is when they can finally truly relax.
Every dog responds differently, but regular massage can make a real difference to their comfort, quality of life, and overall wellbeing.
Thank you, Duke, for being such a good boy. I can't wait to see how you continue to progress and look forward to your next weekly session.🥰

If your senior dog is showing signs of stiffness, slowing down on walks, or struggling to get up after resting, getting into the car. Slipping on floorboards, tiles etc......... Canine massage cab help. Feel free to message me at Rural TLC Pet Care Service to find out more.

🐾 I've always included raw bones as part of my own dogs' diet and have seen the benefits for their dental health and enrichment. 🦴
I found this article from Dr. Peter Dobias interesting, as it explains why he believes raw bones are such an important part of a healthy diet for many dogs.
I thought it was worth sharing for anyone interested in learning more about natural canine health and nutrition.

After 35+ years in practice, I am certain that raw bones are one of the most important parts of our dogs' healthy diet. They are important for dental health which is closely tied to cardiac, kidney, digestive and liver health and beyond.

Don't know where to start?
