Canine and Feline Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy
Canine and feline massage therapy is a therapeutic treatment that involves manipulating a pet's soft tissues to help with various ailments. It can involve a variety of techniques, such as kneading, pressing, tapping, and gliding strokes, to help with physical problems and improve behavior.
