Welcome to our Senior Dog Blog

This blog is dedicated to all the dogs out there that have a few great years under their fur! The dog who has seen you mature, seen you through hard times, seen you laugh and cry or may have been there through a relationship or two. The "old faithful" guy or girl in your life that you know would always be waiting for you to come home with open paws! The one who is always happy to see you and can't wait to get your love and attention but would always give you so much more in return. We know, in our hearts, that even without a spoken word, this dog has helped us through many hard times and has been there to rejoice in our good times. We thank you for always being there and for somehow just always knowing what we need to make us feel better.

Here's hoping, that through this blog, we can give back at least a portion of the joy that they have brought to our lives over the many years.

The Doggy Zen Den was founded after years of working with dogs both in Canada and the U.S. I was driven from a young age by my compassion for animals and as I grew older I sought to provide a service to animals that would encompass personal touch, love and health benefits. I teach seminars & workshops to dozens of dog owners. While my practice is inclusive of all dogs, I have focused a majority of my efforts on working with senior and shelter dogs. I received my canine massage training from Midwest Natural Healing and have attended certification courses in Bach Flower Remedies, Pet First Aid and Canine Behavior. I currently run 2 blogs. I’ve registered over 400 hours of hands on experience working with dogs in a massage and stretching capacity and service clients from Oshawa to Burlington. I am also a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner. I was recently asked to become a resident Practitioner at Cherry Valley Retreat (http://cherryvalleyretreat.com/) and will be hosting a series of workshops on Holistic Stress & Anxiety Relief Methods for Dogs.

Groom! Groom! Groom!

Groom your dog as much as possible!! Long, short or no hair, brush your dog as much as possible. Brushing allows dead skin follicles to be removed and allows the skin to breath. This helps tremendously with detoxification. The skin, also an organ, is crucial in pet health. Grooming, petting and massaging all fall under... this category and also do wonders for your relationship. Also, brush the teeth too if you can! Although, if you are feeding a fresh diet, you likely won’t need to do it all that much. But, if you must, just do it! It's a challenge, but, it is better than putting your dog under anesthesia just for a teeth cleaning.See More
