ProDog Massage focuses on helping your furry friend to live their best life.
The physiological benefits of therapeutic and rehabilitative massage affect every system in the body. These effects make massage a tremendous benefit to all dogs; working dogs, canine athletes, geriatric dogs, dogs recovering from injury or surgery and dogs facing end of life hospice care. Massage is also of great benefit to cats. Massage is used to enhance canine general health, to address a specific condition or as an
adjunctive therapy to proper veterinary care.
