POPULAR TREATMENT PLANS


WELLNESS

Your dog is in good health, but like you can benefit from massage.

Just like massage helps soothe your mind and body, it also works wonders for dogs. Massage promotes better temperaments, therefore better behavior. It can help prevent strain and injury or relieve aches and pains after an active day. Your pup works hard to be your best friend, they deserve some pampering just like you.


ANXIETY

Your dog is anxious, fearful or newly adopted.

Massage helps on an emotional and energetic level with depression, fear, separation anxiety, grieving, shyness and trauma. It promotes feelings of comfort and safety in different or new environments. Dogs also feel more confident in their bodies, thus more relaxed and open to receive love from others. Receiving this care from a non-household member helps your dog become better adjusted to meeting new humans. 


SENIOR CARE 

Your dog is experiencing aches and pains associated with age.

Massage helps to relieve pain and stiffness from degenerating conditions such as chronic arthritis and hip dysplasia. It improves range of motion, muscle tone and flexibility, respiratory and mental functions.

 
BREED ASSOCIATED RESPIRATORY ISSUES
Your dog is a pug, bulldog, boxer or short-nosed breed.

Massage and acupressure will enhance your dog’s ability to breathe, while increasing circulation to the respiratory system and draining the lymph nodes. This promotes the flow of white blood cells, an internal disease fighter to common sites of infection. Shih Tzu, Boxers, Bulldogs, Pugs and Pekinese and other dogs with challenging respiratory genetics benefit from this type of  therapeutic massage.

 
REHABILITATION
Your dog is recovering from illness or injury.

Rehabilitative massage therapy releases endorphins (natural pain relievers) and increases the circulation of blood nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissue, which in turn promotes healing responses. Massage releases metabolic waste and stimulates the immune system, allowing dogs to better fight off infection. 



GROWING PUPPIES AND VERY ACTIVE DOGS 
Your dog is a puppy or very active and is in need of some rest and relaxation.

Massage is calming and reassuring to active dogs and puppies. Positive touch therapy promotes self-confidence and gets puppies used to being touched. Regular massage around joints reduces sprains and strains due to fast-growing bones in puppies.
