Springs Things Launches Canine Massage Rug
Hall 3, Stand 45b.

Springs Things will be running a competition to win a Springs Things Canine Massage rug, the innovative massage rug, which is the culmination of two years’ product development undertaken by professional sports injury therapist and McTimoney Animal Manipulator, Sarah Hedderly, stimulates circulation through gentle whole body vibration and is designed to reduce aches and pains in older dogs and improve performance and recovery in agility competition or show dogs. 

'Massage solutions for human and equine use are widely available, however, there are less products on the market to help our canine friends,' explains Sarah Hedderly, director of Springs Things.  'I wanted to develop an affordable solution that owners could use with their dogs in the comfort of their own home and so now the new canine massage rug addresses this need.'

Springs Things Canine Massage rug is a light-weight waterproof cover fitted with bespoke software to provide a gentle and relaxing ten-minute, all over body massage for dogs.  The rug is easy for owners to operate and has an automatic cut off once the massage is completed. It comes with a machine washable removable liner, re-chargeable batteries, charger and own carry case.  There are eight sizes available, ranging from 14-28 inches to suit small terriers right through to large German Shepherd Dogs. Leg straps, chest and belly straps secure the rug and ensure a good fit.

'Massage is one of the oldest forms of therapy and the new rug now allows owners to take advantage of the many benefits of massage on a regular basis, either before or after exercise depending on the dog’s individual needs,' continues Hedderly. 'It is also a valuable tool for owners to use between any other complementary therapies such as a McTimoney Animal Manipulation treatment to alleviate muscle stiffness and improve suppleness.'

There will be special show offers on all the products with a show offer price on the massage rug of just £149! (usually £199)

They will also be launching the Smart suit which is a fleece suit with four legs that is ideal to keep your dog warm and prevent stiffness when he has got wet. The fleece material wicks moisture away from your dog while keeping him warm. There is also a zip along the back so that you do not need to over flex your dogs legs to get the suit on. This makes the Smart suit ideal for older as well as younger dogs.

Springs Things is based in Wellington, Somerset.  Sarah Hedderly, the founder of Springs Things is a professional Sports Injury Therapist and McTimoney Animal Therapist and it was from this work that the idea of the canine massage rug was developed.  Springs Things is named after Spring, Sarah's six year old Springer Spaniel who was heavily involved in product development, research and modelling!

Q. What make of dog harness do Louise Cooke's sled dogs wear?

Xtra Dog will be in Hall One, Stand 125 and we have loads going on. Come and choose a new Spiffy Dog collar, from Colorado, all 20 styles will be on display with matching leads. Check out our own design of fleece walking harnesses available in a choice of 10 sizes or even a custom fit if your dog does not fit a standard size and many different colours to choose from. We also have new foam harnesses, ideal for dogs that like to swim, as this material does not get wet or freeze. These are our design based on the thinking of the front part of an x-back sledding harness, but designed with two rings top and front so that it can be used with a double-ended lead to stop dogs pulling.

We will also have the Adanac range of sledding and working dog products from the USA. This includes the world famous Zima x-back harness used by dog mushers around the world. We will also have Pawtrekker dog scooters available.

We have used Zima harnesses exclusively for the past 6 years, they are long lasting, fast drying, and most importantly fit well and are comfortable, we have never had any issues with harness rub at all. We highly recommend them! Louise Cooke - Dog musher

And finally meet inventor Mandy Davies For those who do not know Mandy, she is the charismatic inventor of the Dicky Bag. She will be with us every day. Her wonderful neoprene bag, now made in Cornwall is the ultimate answer to dog poo, for more details checkout http://www.xtradog.com/dicky-bag.html

When I walked the dogs with my kids I was sick of carrying bags of dog poo, so I invented the Dicky Bag. Made of neoprene it’s soft, lightweight, airtight, watertight and washable. Now I can join in all the fun, all the time! And there’s no need to only walk where I know there are bins are close by. Dog walking freedom – it’s in the bag. Mandy Davies
