Recommended by Topi

Topi has been visiting and being taken care of by Jerry since Topi was two years old. There is a mutual trust and a bondage formed between them.

Topi's had a lot of physical issues with his legs - from biceps tendon inflammations to variety of muscle stiffness. With the help of Jerry and good muscle therapy we've managed to keep troubles under control.

A warm recommendation to continuous massage sessions & taking care of your dog!

When you should massage your dog?

Well, massage is never useless - but these signs should wake you up!

Pain & Limping

Dogs tend to hide their pain well.
If you can see it - it's hurting alot already. With massage you can find the sore places and easy-out the possible inflammations in muscles.

Stiffness & Jumping

Is your dog walking differently, has problems going up or down the stairs or is not willing to jump on the sofa anymore?

Overall wellbeing

Massage increases superficial blood circulation and metabolism in muscles, relaxes tense muscles and relieves pain.  It acts as a stress reliever for both the dog and the owner. 

Professionals introduction

"My name is Jerry Ketola and I'm a sports masseur and osteopath by profession. For over 12 years I have specialized in treating our four-legged friends and gaining more knowledge about their physique, handling and treatment possibilities. While fixing their owners as well!

I have immensely enjoyed taking care of all dogs and seeing their sincere gratitude for the treatment. Together with Topi, we wanted to provide the dog owners with a way to influence their dog's well-being. To the surprise of many, massaging dogs at home is easy and rewarding for both parties.

You are warmly welcomed by us all to join this course. Enjoy learning and have a super good time with massaging your dog! My knowledge is at your service!"

Frequently asked questions

What other benefits does canine massage provide?

It improves animals mental alertness and enchances overall well-being both physically and emotionally.  Massage also helps move fluids through the lymph system.

Why should I massage my dog?

If you’ve ever received massage therapy yourself then you know exactly what the benefits are - it goes the same for our canine friends. Not only that, but research into the efficacy of human massage on things such as mood, anxiety, stress and the already proven physical benefits is telling us just how impactful massage can be on our overall well-being.

Are there any restrictions when massage is not recommended?

Yes. If your dog has any of these symptoms: 
Infection, inflammation, Contagious disease (e.g., kennel cough), Periostitis, Bursitis, Cancer, Central nervous system paralysis, Heart disease – ask the permission of a veterinarian, Epilepsy, Endocrine disorders – with the vet consent, Vaccinations – 1 week waiting period, Oestrus (heat), Pregnancy in the last trimester, False pregnancy, Nursing bitches, Competitions or intensive training the previous day or in the next 1-2 days after the massage, Medication – consult a veterinarian

What if my dog doesn’t like it?

It normally takes a few sessions before a dog can truly relax and accept treatments so it's important to be patient and let the therapy proceed at a pace that the dog is comfortable with. This is all part of the bonding and trust building process during the first times. It's important to let the dog communicate how they are feeling and adjust the pressure being applied or area of treatment accordingly.
