🌿 Canine Massage: A Natural Path to Comfort & Mobility 🐾
NamasteDogsStays — Kim Swan

Did you know that regular canine massage can significantly reduce your dog’s need for pain medication while improving their overall mobility and quality of life?

Gentle, therapeutic touch helps:
✨ Release muscle tension
✨ Improve joint flexibility
✨ Increase circulation
✨ Support faster recovery from injuries
✨ Ease stiffness from age or overuse
✨ Promote relaxation and emotional well-being

As your dog’s body relaxes and moves more freely, they often rely less on pain meds, which can mean fewer side effects and a more natural approach to long-term comfort.

Whether your pup is aging, active, recovering, or simply deserves a little extra love, canine massage can help them feel their best—inside and out. 💛

🐕‍🦺 At NamasteDogsStays, I’m dedicated to helping your dog move with ease and live with joy.

Hi, my name is Tia, I’m almost 5 years old, and I am looking for my forever home. I have only been in Canada since October 23rd, but I am adjusting to life in my foster home. I have learned how to walk up and down the stairs. I love going out for walks so I can smell all the new smells, and I am pretty good when we’re out, but I do react to squirrels. I am not used to those fluffy tailed creatures and I really want to chase them, but I am learning that I can’t chase them when on leash. I am affectionate, I love scritches and spending time with my people. I also get along well with the resident doggy in the house, even though she’s not a greyhound. She’s nice to me and I like her. Unfortunately I can't live with cats. Despite this, my foster mom says I am “truly a special, sweet girl with a heart of gold.” And that I have “the most soulful eyes” and I love to be around people – being with people makes me feel more relaxed, which is true. She also says I am “going to make an absolutely lovely companion and pet” which I think is true. I know I will love whoever adopts me, will it be you? If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly even meeting me, please contact the Greyhound Supporters at ottawagreyhounds@gmail.com.

Trends and Tragedies

I keep seeing videos with thousands of likes and smiling emojis that think it’s “cute” or “funny” to scare or manipulate dogs for reactions.

Let me be clear: if you have to do things like bark in a dog’s face, startle them or blow a dog hairdryer in thier face just to get a laugh and likes, you are not funny to those who actually care about animals.

Those reactions aren’t harmless entertainment. They frighten dogs, break the bond between pet and person, and increase the chance the dog will react defensively.

In some cases that can create long-term anxiety or even lead to biting.

If being a harmful trend and getting likes from others who dont know better, is more important to you than being a responsible caregiver or professional, you should really reevaluate your perspective.

You are not supposed to have it all figured out.

You are supposed to grow, change your mind, make mistakes, and start over again.
