My dog, Holly, had been limping for two weeks and had been to the vets twice, without results, then I was recommended to Amanda of Hound Help. She was very patient and very thorough with Holly who is a nervous dog, and who was fidgeting the whole time. Amanda identified the problem and a little toe injury was quickly resolved at the vets the following day. 4 years on and Holly continues to visit Amanda for overall body massages to relieve tension and help her to relax. Holly attends a number of training classes and likes to give the squirrels and rabbits a run for their money, resulting in stiffness across her shoulders and down her spine, canine massage helps to alleviate this. Thanks to the calm, professional confidence of Amanda, Holly now enjoys these sessions and charges into her therapy studio with great enthusiasm. Holly and I can highly recommend Amanda of Hound Help.


2021 - Mandy with Holly

I have known Amanda, since June 2017 when Amanda came to assess my 2 miniature poodles for massages. She came to my house and spent a lot of time assessing them and explaining to me what was going to happen. I felt at ease with Amanda immediately. We set up some dates and Amanda left me with a form for each of them which I completed and then had to take to my vets to sign.

 

Amanda now comes every 4 weeks and is always friendly but professional and tells me if she has noticed any difference in them especially Amber as she does agility competitions.

 

Amanda has also told me when she has noticed changes i.e. Bella with a fatty lump and Amber with a lump on her neck.

 

I have 2 other dogs and Amanda always make a fuss of these as well and make sure they are not left out.

 

I can highly recommend Amanda at hound help. New paragraph


2021 - Tracey with Bella, Amber and Echo (and now Snoopy)

I first had the privilege of meeting Amanda in 2017 after I had heard about the benefits of Clinical Canjne Massage. After contacting her, I was a little sceptical about what could be achieved for my dogs, who both had various issues with joints and general stiffness allied to approaching old age and agility careers as youngsters. Well, I was blown away with the results, even after one session and can’t thank Amanda enough for giving both my dogs a better quality of life and enabling them to enjoy their walks again. She is a wonderful, caring and professional lady with an excellent knowledge and insight of canine anatomy. She has a wonderful affinity with her patients; taking time to fully explain to the owner what she is doing as she slowly works her hands over the dogs body and highlighting any problems which may need further investigation through your vet. I’m just so happy that her massages have allowed my dogs to live a good life; it is a wonderful complimentary therapy allied to conventional veterinary medicine, alleviating the need for prescription anti inflammatories and pain killers.

I can’t thank Amanda enough! My dogs love her and fully enjoy the experience; often falling into a deep relaxed sleep and I most definitely recommend her. She is totally professional and 100% committed to what she does, often fitting you in at short notice if you have a problem, remaining in contact via the excellent text appointment reminder system, but always at the end of the phone for advice if needed. A pleasure to be working with and to have met.


2021 - Vivien with Ralph, Dilly and George

What people say

Some of the lovely feedback I have received

Ralph

I was interested in massage and optimistic that it would be of benefit to Ralph, I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed Ralph was during the treatment sessions; at certain points, he was almost asleep which was lovely to see. Amanda was brilliant in her approach to Ralph, he can be a nervous dog due to his history but he was completely relaxed and compliant with her always and she was very calm and reassuring with him. He has been amazing, after the first session there was a remarkable improvement in Ralph’s overall demeanour and energy levels. This has continued throughout the treatments and it is lovely to see him get his ‘mojo’ back and to be running freely again. I can’t thank Amanda enough, massage has surpassed my expectations in such a short time.

Oz

I have never seen Ozzie relax into something so much before and it was a lovely feeling to know that Amanda was helping my boy. My thanks to her for her kindness and professionalism.

Maggie

Amanda was very focused, reassuring, patient and calming, during the first session Maggie was unsettled and fidgety but by the last (third) session she was completely relaxed. The stiffness in the joint has eased and Maggie is walking without a limp.

Muttley

I was keen to try canine massage, my dog Muttley is always throwing himself about and injuring himself. He has also slowed down and I hoped that he would feel better and I would know more about his problems. Muttley really seemed to enjoy the massages, he was relaxed and happy but he reacted to pain points. Amanda was confident and gentle with Muttley, he was very relaxed after the treatments and full of beans the next day, I understand Muttley better, his aches and pains. Thank you, Amanda
