Provide your Dog with a Pain free life

Canine massage is an essential part of pet care since most dogs will experience some level of body pain and discomfort throughout their lives. Young, active dogs are prone to minor injuries that can result in chronic issues if left unaddressed. The majority of senior dogs suffer from arthritis and joint degeneration. Incorporating bodywork into your dog's routine from a young age can prevent future discomfort as they age and minimize the risk of injury and intervertebral disc disease. Even if your dog is already a senior and has never had a massage before, it is never too late. Massage and bodywork have the potential to alleviate pain, improve function, and slow down degeneration. Many pet owners seek non-medication alternatives for their aging pets, and massage provides the perfect solution.
