Doga: Yoga for Dogs
KVUE ^ | May 14, 2012

Yoga can increase the physical, psychological and spiritual health of those who practice it. But more and more research shows animals may benefit too.

Doga started growing in popularity a couple of years ago, and a clinic in Austin is now offering it as a way for dogs and humans to bond while practicing yoga.

Owner of total wellness in Austin and doga instructor Lori Massad-Koska and her client Ariana Gum spoke to KVUE about doga.

Do you perform the acupuncture yourself or see a vet/tech for it? Have you discussed the gb diet with your vet, and if so the feedback you received?

We go to a DVM who specializes in holistic medicine, Chinese herbs, acupuncture and chiropractic. At some point in time we may have to put Strider, the Aussie, on pain meds, but as long as the acupuncture is giving him good movement and freedom for pain, we’ll continue it.

We learned of the green bean diet when it was prescribed for my nephew’s overweight bassets by his vet. Our vet agreed that Strider would benefit from it. She gives him a mini-physical each month before she treats him with the acupuncture needles, so she would pick up on any nutritional deficencies very quickly.
