BENEFITS OF CANINE MASSAGE
While nothing can replace an owner's loving touch, Canine Massage Therapy offers benefits that go far beyond petting. Massage affects everything from your dog's muscles to their state of mind.
Puppies: Puppies need touch to thrive and develop. Massage helps puppies get accustomed to physical touch. Massaging a puppy's gums and mouth can help with teething. General massage can also help to alleviate soreness associated with growing, especially in large breed dogs.

Massage can help reduce or prevent muscle weakness due to inactivity, ease pain and soreness, encourage movement, and provide other health benefits to promote longevity, slow the degenerative process, and promote quality of life for your aging dog.
