Massage sessions last approximately 50 minutes and offer numerous benefits to your dog:

- reduction of muscle tension,
- improved fluid circulation,

Passionate about animal welfare, I practice canine massage without medical intervention. I am neither a veterinarian nor an osteopath.
The first session may be more eventful, especially if the dog is fearful or unaccustomed to handling, before achieving good relaxation.
