Hands On Canine Massage

Iris Blavin, Small Animal Massage Practitioner

Why canine massage?

From puppy to adult, most dogs live a very active life, participating in play, exercise, athletic activities, competition and possibly working as a guide or rescue dog. 

Strength and flexibility are essential for keeping a dog’s (or human’s) body vigorous and healthy for a lifetime. When dogs engage in repetitive activities, their muscles contract over and over again. If the muscles are not stretched and lengthened from time to time, they have a tendency to tighten and shorten. This can cause problems not only for the muscles, but also the surrounding tendons and joints. 

Mount Tabor Doggie Challenge

This annual race is produced by Terrapin Events and DoveLewis has been selected as the beneficiary recipient this year. No dog necessary. Just bring yourself or some friends and take part in one of the coolest events around, in one of Portland’s most amazing parks! Great music, tasty beer and yummy food after the event!

STAM Dog Treats

STAM has been producing grain-free dog treats commercially since 2007. We started out as others do – in a shared commercial kitchen. In 2009, we moved into our own dedicated bakery in Wood Village; and not a day too soon.

We have two dogs: Sammy big boy and Princess Stella cookie pants (shown left). Sam has no allergies and Stella is allergenic to just about everything. We couldn’t find treats suitable for Stella so we started making our own. We would share our extras with friends and soon after, STAM was born. We don’t have baking backgrounds so we… Continue reading

Keeping your dog safe this fourth

As a Diva Dog I’m always ready to be seen at any event anywhere,  however there is one event I’d much rather miss out on completely.  The fourth of July Fireworks.  Once the sun goes down and the fireworks start,  I want to be curled up and sound asleep in my own safe bed.

Fourth of July Fireworks can be very frightening to dogs,  the loud noises the bright flashes of light,  even the smell can make us nervous.    More dogs are lost on July 4th than any other day of the year.  To keep your dog safe and … Continue reading
