**Raindrop Technique**

In home Raindrop Technique for dogs and people, includes the use of the highest quality therapeutic -grade essential oils available. We only use essential oils from Young Living because they are 100 % pure therapeutic grade.  This is because Young Living Essential Oils have no dangerous adulterants which would also be dangerous to cats and other animals.  These oils for dogs and humans  include Young Living blend Valor, Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram and Peppermint.  We can also add other oils to customize the special needs of your dog. We never use mineral oil and for safety reasons we never mix water with essential oils. The oils are individually dropped along the spine and feet and gently massaged into the tissues. Raindrop Technique is recommended for geriatric dogs who may have medical issues that prohibit deep massage work.

Human $75.00

I typically recommend 5 sessions for geriatric dogs. One per week for 5 weeks and then monthly sessions thereafter for maintenance.  Athletic dogs should receive weekly or every other week sessions depending on how often they are competing.  Session duration depends on the needs of the dog.

For people, I recommend a monthly maintenance session.

Discounts apply to more then one animal and or owner receiving Raindrop therapy at same location same day.

Do to the severe sensitivity of cats skin,  I currently do not offer Raindrop Technique on cats.

Comprehensive Gait Analysis                 $150.00
(can take 120 to 180 minutes for assessment, photos and video, conditioning plan)
This is an extensive evaluation of dog's
gait, jumping (takeoff and landing patterns)
foot placements as well as conformation and how it will affect performance and analyzed by a veterinarian. This will include photo shots with markers on dog in action in their choice of sport  as well as video clips.   This is a great tool to evaluate the dog for a particular sport, or a service dog to prevent possible future injuries, determine any hidden factors for injury and set up a conditioning plan for optimum performance and endurance.

For maintenance massage, typically I recommend 4 sessions, this can be  one per week, twice a month or once a month. This is determined by what the individual's needs will be.  Service dogs can also experience stress. Massage helps to relieve that stress. Massage can be very beneficial to geriatric dogs and cats by helping with circulation and arthritis issues.

For Sports massage, canine competitors should receive weekly sessions or every two weeks maintenance sessions, which is dependent on how many competitions your canine athlete will be attending, and on the amount of physical demands of the sport and individual needs. Some competitions can affect the mentality of the dog. Some dogs are known to experience performance anxiety. They may experience transport stress. Sometimes there is stress due to higher expectations for the dog to reach higher levels of performance. Massage can help to lessen stress in those areas to allow the dog to focus and have a better performance. Massage can also be used as a warm up before the event and as a cool down after the event. The cool down after the event is the most beneficial.  There are special techniques designed to address stress patterns and improve performance,  techniques that focus on myofascial release, trigger point treatment and stress point therapy.  These are all beneficial to all dogs participating in agility, search and rescue, service and racing sports.

For Rehabilitation massage, this will very according to individual needs and the what is prescribed by your veterinarian.  Rehabilitation massage involves the physiology of pain management after surgery, illness, or injury, caring for geriatric pets, and specialized massage techniques that focus on specific tissue healing prescribed by your veterinarian. Rehabilitation massage can help provide relief from boredom due to reduced activity, improve flow of lymphatic fluid, stimulate the immune system pre-surgery, assist in surgery recovery, interrupt the pain-spasm-pain cycle, assist in restoring function and proper scar formation.

Rehab massage is not a substitute for proper veterinary care, pharmaceutical management or physical therapy. A massage therapist can not prescribe specific treatment or provide a prognosis on a condition. The massage therapist supports the efforts of all individuals involved for the maximum benefit of the animal.

HOST A PAW SPA PARTY

What is a "Paw Spa Party" ?   This is a chance to learn how to perform a maintenance massage on your dog or pet.  We come to your home, early afternoon, or evening work best, during the week or a Saturday afternoon.  We must have a minimum of 4 dogs with owners (not counting hostess), up to a maximum of 6 dogs with owners that will be in  attendance that day. You will need a comfortable and large enough space to accomodate everyone.  We will be on the floor with blankets and learning many strokes for massage.  Dogs must be under control and able to get along with other dogs.  Please provide drinks and a treat for both humans and dogs.  They will also need bowls for water for the dogs.  The "Paw Spa Parties" will last around 2 hours.  Older children are welcome but best not to have smaller children present as it can cause too many distractions.  There is a $55.00 fee for each dog with their owner. The hostess's dog will receive a complimentary massage along with the massage lesson at no charge.   Be prepared to take notes. Dress in comfortable clothes and bring a blanket, leash and collar, small hand towel, and a bowl for water for your dog.  Please call 509-954-1371 for more details.  Cat Paw Spa Parties also available. Only cats and their owners can attend these parties. 20% of the profits go to the hotess's choice rescue group or shelter.
