Dog Massage for Wrist Arthritis: Legs

Video Transcript

"Now the next thing you're going to want to do is to massage on the legs. Ideally, you would start with the feet but if it's the dog who doesn't like his feet handled, like Coco saying to me right now, don't worry about that point, you can come back to it later, then you just want to massage up and you can use especially if your hands are slightly bigger than mine, you can actually use your whole hand around the leg, mostly massaging upward, you want to prevent fluids from settling in the feet. So nice upward motion and all the way around the leg and then you go on up and through and you want to again do both legs. If she lets you do the feet, massage between the toes, and then the back of the foot, we showed you some acupressure points there, that's just reinforcing those, up on the leg, all the way around. And you'll be rewarded like I was. So you're going to do this general motion just to relax all the muscles and help the legs relax."
