Massage
It's often mistakenly assumed that canine massage and bodywork is an indulgence,
when in fact there are many health and behavioral benefits.

Massage Theory
Massage is systematic and intentional - often problems are detected that might otherwise go unnoticed. Massage is soothing, comforting, and relaxing. Massage is different from petting as it helps keep many body systems working well. It supports the circulation of blood and lymph fluids (which helps the immune system), helps joints stay flexible and well lubricated and reduces the buildup of adhesions in muscle and joint tissue.
Particularly good times to consider scheduling a massage would be if you bring a new pet into the home, if there is a stressful event happening such as moving, before your pet undergoes any medical procedures (i.e. dentals or surgery) or anytime
their physical activity increases.
