What is canine massage?

    It is the manipulation of muscles and skin to promote increased circulation (new blood and lymph cells) to all organs and tissues in your pet's body. This increased circulation helps to remove toxins and waste products out of muscle,, joints, and tissues which help to increase the healing time from surgeries and injuries. Canine massage is a way to help your animal feel relaxed and pain free. Canine massage is NOT a replacement for proper veterinarian care.
