Paws for Health of Virginia is a new service based in the Chesterfield/Midlothian area of Virginia. Offer your dog the same benefits that humans get with massage. Canine massage is a safe, effective way to help your dog live a healthier life. Massage is great for improving circulation, reducing pain, and promoting overall health and well being. Massage is especially helpful for dogs with hip and elbow dysplasia. Services include introductory massages, full body massages, and massage for sick, injured, or elderly dogs.
In this blog, we’ll look at some tips that can help your dog lead a happier, healthier life. Take a look at the massage video posted here at www.caninegames.com for massages you can do at home. It will get you started on helping your pet feel their best.
Remember, although massage is a safe and gentle procedure, it is never a substitute for regular veterinary care. You should always consult with your vet before using any treatment he or she is not aware of. Verify with the vet that your pet doesn’t have any condition that massage might make worse. Always offer your dog clean fresh water after a massage. This helps flush out toxins and other waste from your dog’s muscles. Also, massage is a useful addition to veterinary care, not a substitute. Always keep your vet informed about any outside treatments.
