Animal Aid Happy, Health Family Pet Classes and Workshops
Animal Aid is hosting a series of seminars and
hands-on workshops based around activities that
promote the physical and emotional health of
pets and their families. Our goal? Prevent pets from
entering the rescue cycle in the first place!
Year
after year we deal with the aftermath as too
many otherwise fine animals are abandoned for
an issue that could have been solved if the
owner had timely access to information about
other options.
Where will the classes be held?
Two local businesses
that generously allowed us to share their space:
How to Keep the Vet Bills Down
Now, more than ever, we are watching every dollar. But not taking your
pet to the vet isn't the answer!
Bills can be kept to a minimum if we are proactive with our pet's well-being!
This "humans only" seminar will help you make good decisions.

Weight Control for Pets
"Plump" is not "pleasant" for your pet! Excess weight is, in fact, a primary
contributor to a whole host of preventable medical problems.
Just how do you determine what IS the right weight? How do you return
that butterball to her prior svelte state without jeopardizing your relationship?

Massage Away Those Winter Aches
Cold, damp Oregon winters are just as hard on pets as they are on humans.
Massage
is a proactive therapy that is extremely beneficial for dogs living with mobility
issues or chronic illness as well as those recovering from
surgery.
For healthy, active dogs, massage is an
effective way to prevent muscle related problems
and strain injuries.

When you can't be
outside, working with a Theraball is a great way to exercise your
dog's mind and body as well as strengthen its core muscles.
Regular Theraball use can also increase the range of motion,
flexibility, improve reflexes, and lead to increased muscle tone and endurance.
This workshop could be one of the most important things you
ever do with your dog.
Price includes 1 dog and 2 humans. |
