We got out of order! If you saw an earlier post of Dog Blessed 223 and wonder where it went, that’s a publishers mistake. Stick around for episode 224….It will be back. This week, however, you’ll be learning about the healing power of touch on Dog Blessed with Jodi Jarvis-Therrian. Dog Blessed is brought to you by Must Love Dogs Pet Boutique and Clock’s Timeless Pets.
Time with your dog matters. Did you know that simply spending a few minutes each day gently touching and handling your dog can do far more than strengthen your bond? In this episode of Dog Blessed, we explore the many physical and emotional benefits of purposeful touch. Learn how regular hands-on checks can help you detect lumps, bumps, sore spots, injuries, skin issues, parasites, and other health concerns before they become more serious problems. We’ll also discuss how calm, mindful touch can activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s natural “rest and relax” response—for both you and your dog, helping reduce stress while building trust and connection. Whether your goal is to improve your dog’s health, deepen your relationship, or simply enjoy more meaningful time together, this episode will show you how a few minutes of intentional touch each day can make a lasting difference.
We are thankful to our amazing sponsors Clock’s Timeless Pets and Must Love Dogs Pet Boutique in Grand Haven for their support of Dog Blessed on the Muskegon Channel.
