Canine Medical Massage Therapy
Animal Massage can be done at your home or at my home office.
Large dogs are usually done on a mat on the floor and dogs 50 pounds or less are done on a massage table.
The length of a session depends on the dog’s needs and temperament. Generally a massage will last anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.
I structure my time to be available to patients for both emergencies and advance appointments.
