Minou celebrating
We first met Sandy Benoit and her magic hands when we attended a Pet Day at Nutrichem Pharmacy. We had booked a Touch and Tell massage for our Jack Russell Terrier, Minou.
At twelve Minou has some neuro muscular issues which have benefitted enormously from this wonderful lady.
We have been seeing Sandy on a regular basis and are very pleased with Minou’s progress. Minou plays and carries on like a young pup and she loves her massages! Sandy is a caring, compassionate and very knowledgable professional.
Her neurotherapy treatments are recommended by vets and are shared with the other miracle worker in Minou’s life, Dr. Eddie Beltran.
We highly recommend Sandy Benoit and her Touch and Tell canine treatments.

Chico
My 12-year-old Chihuahua, Chico has had six sessions with her so far, and he has definitely benefitted from them.
During each session, Sandy has taken lots of time to get to know Chico’s personality as well as his physical self. She always works gently and respectfully, and most importantly, she gives me homework exercises that I can do to help him continue to regain mobility and live more pain-free.
As you know, Chihuahuas can be a bit temperamental at times, and even when he decides to have a little doggy tantrum, Sandy has worked with him through it. Amazing!
Dana McPherson & Dobe
Great results!
I took my Dobe to Sandy because she had a roach that was getting worse & trembling in her flanks when she sat that I thought might be related to a bad back.
It turns out that she actually has a weak leg & her back was the symptom not the cause.
After a few sessions she is standing straight, sitting without any problems & is trotting beautifully again.
Highly recommend. She knows her anatomy & gets wonderful results.
Dana Crastone & Calypso
When my young dog developed a running in-balance, Sandy Benoit of Canine Touch and Tells was recommended.
Calypso was running with her hind-end tilted over far enough that she was effectively only using 3 legs; and it was clear that continuing to run with that bizarrely twisted stride would cause permanent injury.
After a few treatments her running had improved, and within 2 months my fabulous little lead dog was back to a completely normal stride.
Thanks Sandy, for giving keeping my working dog off disability!
Dear Sandy
When one of our canine agility trainers advised me to take my eight year old German shepherd to see you, I thought about the number of times in our canine agility endeavours that someone thought they had seen my girl Geist limp, never with the same leg twice. So I procrastinated for a few weeks although this was about a rear leg dragging a bit and quite another story.
At a subsequent agility trial where we won, as too often, ZERO qualifying runs, I had a chat with a friend about how one of her huskys had been hiding an injury and its consequences. That is when the lights went on, finally. The dragging leg might be the consequence of a concealed injury. It would explain years of knocked agility jump bars, leaving us so often 5 points short of a qualifying run.
So we came to you. After a couple of massage and light physiotherapy sessions with you and daily massaging as you had showed me, we enjoyed training sessions free of knocked jump bars. Was it coincidence or were we freeing up some muscle and joints?
We were at over a month of weekly sessions with you, when we attended an agility trial where I did not recognize my old girl Geist. We would have called her performance a miracle if we did not realize that it was your good hands and advice at work. We obtained three qualifying runs, one after the other: bang, bang, bang. We had never done better than a single qualifying run in any trial, for years.
Sandy, you join trainers and friends in the sport of canine agility in making our AADC possible. We will return for periodic tune-ups because Geist has made it clear that she really likes what you have done for her and I realize that she needs your care.
Gratefully,
Dominique
