Dogs, cats, horses, birds, turtles, hedgehogs, rabbits — the list is too long to include all the animals who have benefited from Pet Massage. A bonus of pet massage is it can actually reduce stress in your pet, which helps decrease behavior problems. Pets feel stress, they feel the pangs of old age and they can hurt. Massage helps.
