The Benefits of Dog Massage

Dog Massage  - who would not enjoy a good rub,,,

For dogs, as for humans, the benefits of massage include relaxation; the release of tension, pain, and muscle spasms; increased flexibility; enhanced immune function; improved athletic performance; faster recovery; and body alignment corrections that help prevent injuries. 

Targeted techniques improve the health of elderly, infirm, and handicapped dogs; working livestock or hunting dogs; sports competitors; and family pets. Pre-activity massage prepares a dog for active exercise, while post-activity massage helps the dog recover from exertion. 
At-home massage enhances the emotional bond between dogs and their caregivers, and frequent massages make it easy for owners to notice unusual lumps or other symptoms that should be checked by a veterinarian.

There are many more canine massage hints, tips, and how-to demonstrations at YouTube and other online resources, yours free for downloading. Between short streaming videos and more detailed recordings on DVD or at massage-related websites, you’re sure to find guidelines that fit your schedule and experience level so that you and your dog can benefit from and enjoy massage’s healing touch.
