Kathleen writes a regular column, The Canine Corner, for NZ Dog World magazine – the magazine of the New Zealand Kennel Club.
Kathleen’s massage and laser therapy treatments are featured in the Spring 2011 edition of Two Cats One Dog magazine.
Kathleen’s practice featured as a documentary on Radio New Zealand’s Spectrum programme on 18 July 2010. To listen to the programme, follow this link.
During World Animal Week 2009, Kathleen officially launched her canine therapeutic massage practice. Stuff and The Press covered the story. Read about Kathleen’s practice.
On 21 April 2008, we celebrated Daisy’s 8th birthday. The Christchurch Press and Marlborough Express covered the story. Read all about it.
On Monday evenings, Kathleen practices at the Clarkville Boarding Kennels.
We recommend the Dog Swim Spa for hydrotherapy and general swim exercise. Located in Waterholes Road in Templeton, this fantastic facility was built by Chris and June for their own dogs and is now open by appointment only. Tell them Daisy and Kathleen sent you!
We recommend D-Fa’s cool collars and float doggy life vests. Cool collars are a must for hot summer days and the life vests are great support for dogs who are swimming for rehabilitation.

Jill Gordon, owner of Teddy (inspiration for Teddy’s Special Lamb Treats) says, “those beagles of mine adore your treats!!! At the weekend they had chicken neck, venison, grated cheese, apple salad (all their favourites !) and your salmon squares. And what do you think they chose to eat first ??? I’m feeling quite dejected with my contribution to their meals ! they prefer your food !!! If I had more time in my world to be able to make my own biscuits with these wholesome ingredients for the beagles these are exactly what I would make. Thank goodness for you and Canine Catering !
Dobie Cheung celebrated his 9th birthday in April 2011 with a Canine Catering cake that was couriered to Auckland especially for him.
