Why massage for animals?

Just as you choose a professional massage for yourself to feel better or improve your mobility or function, you can choose massage for your dog. Animal massage is designed to reduce muscle tension and fatigue.   Massage is not designed to diagnose or treat any illness or injury. A certified animal massage professional will work together with your vet, on their delegated instructions, to customize a massage plan for your animal's specific needs. It’s important to note that animal massage is NOT a substitute for veterinary care.
