Short on time? Just 30 seconds a day on these areas can make such a huge difference to your pet's physio sessions!
Handling tolerance plays a massive part when treating your pets. A pet that can tolerate touch is able to get the best from our assessment and manual therapy techniques.
Not all pets are used to this type of handling, so these two 30 second activities can start to help them on their way to being more comfortable with us:
🐾 Paws. Touch your pet's paw. Once you have touched the paw, reward and stop. Start with small holds and build up as their tolerance improves.
🐾 Legs. Gently run your hands down your pet's leg. When you have done this, reward and stop. Work on being able to keep your hands on your pet's legs for longer durations of time. This exercise can also be applied to the back, head and neck areas.
These are small steps, but can really help your pet to relax into their session and get the best out of their sessions.
At Furapy, your pet's treatments are led by a welfare-first practitioner with further training in reactivity. All sessions are at your pet's pace. No forcing, no unnecessary stress.
