Massage for health and healing!
This is me getting my first massage at a dog event Mum and I attended a couple of years ago.
When I started agility, I got sore muscles. So my Mum looked into canine massage to help ease my soreness and help me to be more flexible and healthy.
The benefits of massage are great. It can promote good circulation and flexibility, and alleviate arthritic pain. Other benefits include aiding in surgical recovery, helping pets heal from emotional or physical traumas, and improved muscle tone.
Mum continues to massage me frequently, especially before and after training and trials, or just when we're relaxing and watching TV. It's definitely helped me.
Check out the other information we have listed here. Massage may be just what your pup needs.
