Doggie Massage

I just found out that someone in town is offering doggie massage! Massage is a great way to help dogs recover after an injury.

Massage can:

  1. Increase circulation,
  2. Decrease pain, soreness and stiffness,
  3. Restore supple muscle tone,
  4. Improve muscle function,
  5. Increase flexibility and range of motion,
  6. Expediate removal of wastes and toxins, and
  7. Stimulate the immune system.

Massage is beneficial for:

  1. Structural imbalance or poor conformation
  2. Orthopedic diseases
  3. Sports injuries
  4. Arthritis
  5. Hind quarter weakness
  6. Aging and inactivity
  7. Post-operative healing

Veronica Kloiber is a registered massage therapist who also puts her talents to work on dogs. For more information give her a call at 634-8078 or stop by the daycare to pick up a brochure.

Next week I'll post some information on t-touch, which is another healing technique that is being used on dogs more and more.
