Canine Massage Therapy
Benefits:
1. Calms the dogs, can assist in reducing behavioral issues. It has been proven by experts and dog lovers alike that dogs bark and make noise more when they are restless, tense, hyperactive or aggressive. A good massage helps them relax and ultimately make them quieter.
2. Eases aching muscles, enhances range of motion and flexibility. Just as humans feel a lot of relief to their aching muscles after a good massage, the same happens to your dog.
3. Increases immune system. Gentle massage triggers the chemicals called cytokins. These chemicals affect the dog's hormonal system which brings down the level of stress hormones that weaken the immune system.
