If there is one thing that brings people and
their pets together it is touch. Gently touching your pet makes them feel
good, and people feel good doing it. Animals like the stroking
and come to us to get it. To lie on a soft blanket or a warm
bed and have one's fur lovingly caressed, is one of the dog or
cat's greatest pleasures.
Touch
is very basic to the bond between animals and people. It is not
surprising, therefore, that touch can be a powerful technique for healing.
Dogs and cats receive the same benefits from massage that we
humans do. Massage and touch are used in specific ways for specific healing.
Touch deprivation can do a great deal of harm to both humans
and animals. Therefore, including touch for healing to daily
rubbing, stroking, and petting is intensely beneficial to both
participants.
A regular and continued use of massage and touch strengthens the bond of love and friendship
that already exists between you and your pet. The more energy
and time that you put into strengthening this bond, the better
your returns. You will be rewarded with a pet that is much more
happy, healthy, content, playful, alert, intelligent, responsive,
protective, and loving. To bring about these results, a once-in-a-while
pat on the head is simply not enough. Regular and continued massaging
and loving touch
is essential.
