Today’s post is a review of a DVD I recently had the pleasure to watch: Introduction to Small Animal Acupressure by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis, founders and owners of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure.

This guest post comes from Jodi McLaughlin, who was the featured practitioner in the first acupressure post. Jodi, a long-time holistic animal health provider and owner and founder of The Blissful Bunny Massage Workshops, obviously has a soft spot for rabbits.

The Well-Connected Dog
by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis
Today, I would like to shine the spotlight on The Well-Connected Dog by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis. We used The Well-Connected Dog as our course manual in the acupressure class at Bancroft, and I have found it to be both a great learning manual and a fabulous [...]
