Massage benefits animals, specifically canines in this context. Many of the same things that humans enjoy about massage hold true for dogs, such as:

• Increased circulation
• Improved disgestion
• Relaxation and rest, decreased anxiety
• Improved muscle tone and flexibility
• Respiratory support
• Better skin and fur health
• Emotional support through healing touch
• Support during confinement or post-surgery/illness recuperation
• Immune support, removal of waste/toxins
