When working with animals I only use therapeutic grade oils of the highest quality and all plant extracts are organic. I have taken time to research the best sources of oils and herbal extracts which I list below:
For herbs, books, and remedies I recommend the Bulk Herb Store at the following link:

Canine Massage: 35 euro per hour and travel costs where appropriate. I am normally located in either France or Hungary. I am therefore available to travel to most of Europe.

Please note that a Zoopharmacognosy session can range from 30 minutes or anything up to 2 hours depending on species and condition.
Discounts are available. Concessions to Hungarian residents. I will also accept an energetic exchange depending on circumstances.
Veterinary Surgeons Act of 1966
In the UK, in accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act of 1966, to treat any animal other than your own without veterinary consent is illegal. Approval and permission must normally be obtained from a vet before any treatment is given. In the UK diagnosis and treatment of other people’s animals in a wide range of situations is considered to be ‘an act of veterinary surgery’ and can therefore only be carried out by a vet.
The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 1962 allows for the treatment of animals by physiotherapy*, provided that the animal has first been seen by a veterinary surgeon who has diagnosed the condition and decided that it should be treated by physiotherapy under his/her direction.
*Definition of Physiotherapy is interpreted as including all kinds of manipulative therapy.
I acknowledge and respect the above acts and require prior veterinary consent before providing canine massage to your dog. I recognise the limits of my professional competence and training and will always refer back to the Veterinary Surgeon if and when necessary.
