Benefits of CANINE / FELINE Massage Therapy
The benefits of massage therapy for your dog are very apparent. Dogs, like humans, respond positively to touch. This is evident when they respond to your petting and rubbing. Yet most people do not understand the techniques best suited to really help ease the pain. Massage therapy is both a preventative measure and a solution for pain and suffering your pet my endure.
Touch creates change in the body both physiologically and energetically.
Studies at the Center for Animal Wellness at the University of Missouri have shown that touch creates beneficial changes in neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, reduces production of stress hormones, and has positive effects on the cardiovascular system.
