Animals are often forgotten about when it comes to complementary therapies and Healing.
I always remember our Cat loved spiritualist healing and he would stretch out on the floor waiting for his share, perrring and   shushing himself as the healing energy passed into him.
It may sound strange to those who can not accept the afterlife, but he still comes sometimes and brushes passed my legs or climbs on the bed to wake me up...Never underestimate the power of spirit, Human or Animal.
