Jack
I
love to learn new tricks, chase tennis balls and run very fast. I’m a healthy 9yr old and massage keeps me
supple and strong for all that running. |
 |
Mabel
I am also 10yrs
old but I was born with luxating patellas (and I think I’m a
princess) so I
don’t run around like
Jack. Massage keeps
the muscles around my knees
strong and helps to prevent arthritis. |

Candi
I’m just a little
dog and I’m 17 now (you can see the grey around my muzzle)
but I still like to
keep up with Jack. I
have arthritis in
my lower spine and front paws from holding up my long back. Massage helps to control
my pain. |

| Even if your
dog is healthy all dogs benefit from the release of opiate receptors,
or feel
good hormones, when they have a massage. |
