Based on the landmark The Healing Touch: The Proven Massage Program for Cats and Dogs, which sold over 40,000 copies, two revised and newly illustrated guides - one for cat lovers and the other for dog lovers. Distinguished veterinarian and animal psychologist Dr. Michael Fox shares his pioneering 6-step massage technique through detailed illustrations, photos, and easy-to-read instructions, and provides information on how to understand your animal companion's anatomy, develop a massage routine, use massage to diagnose illness, and integrate it as part of an overall care for your dog. Utilising the same holistic philosophy of animal well-being, Dr. Fox teaches you basic dog psychology, how massage can help your dog, how to create the best massage routine, how to diagnose illnesses, and even how to keep your dog in shape. Dr. Fox's 'Tips for Massaging Your Animal Companion': >Allow time & patience >Talk to your pet in a quiet, reassuring voice >Praise the animal >Choose a regular time & place >Take the phone off the hook >Don't give up!
