We’re thrilled to welcome Institut Thérapeutique Canin and its founder Marie-Pier Grenon to the 2025 edition of UNITED K9. With over a decade of experience in canine health and rehabilitation, Marie-Pier has built a name for herself as one of Quebec’s most trusted specialists in physical and emotional wellness for dogs.

As part of the event, Marie-Pier will join us for an intimate fireside chat, where she’ll share insights about her work, the growing demand for specialized care in the canine world, and how massage therapy and hydrotherapy can improve the lives of working, senior, or recovering dogs.

But that’s not all — throughout the event, a few lucky pups will get to experience her healing touch firsthand, as Marie-Pier will be offering on-site massage sessions right at UK9!

Her services include:

• Canine massage therapy (to promote mobility, reduce anxiety, and relieve muscular tension)

• Hydrotherapy and hydromassage

• Cani-paddle and water desensitization

• Nutritional guidance and supplement support

• Specialized boarding for anxious, elderly, or disabled dogs

• Canine wheelchair rental and sales — improving daily life for dogs with mobility issues

Her holistic approach puts the dog’s comfort, safety, and dignity first — whether it’s a high-level athlete or a beloved senior companion. Marie-Pier is also passionate about educating owners, often demonstrating stretching and circulation-boosting techniques that owners can apply at home.

Join us this September in Mirabel to learn more, ask questions, and meet this inspiring canine wellness advocate in person.
