Canine Massage
Canine Massage Therapy is the therapeutic application of hands-on massage techniques for the purpose of increasing circulation, relaxing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, and increasing range of motion in all dogs. Massage therapy for dogs is natural and non-invasive and is a great complement to traditional veterinary care. All dogs of any age, breed, or physical level can benefit from massage. It is beneficial for senior dogs to help relieve age related problems like decreased mobility and arthritis, athletic dogs to keep their muscles ready to perform at their best and prevent injury, and even puppies with growing pains and desensitizing them to touch. The benefits for dogs are similar to those found in human massage.
Sessions generally last between 45-75 minutes and are provided in the comfort of your own home or yard. ~ $55
