Gentle Canine Massage to Help Your Dog Feel More Comfortable, Calm, and Supported
Sandy Benoit brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience helping dogs through gentle canine massage, wellness support, and practical guidance for the people who love them.
At Canine Touch & Tell, we believe the power of gentle touch can support comfort, connection, and trust between dogs and the people who love them.
Canine Massage
When you find out what massage is all about, you may wonder why you didn’t do this for your dog much sooner.
Human and canine massage are very similar. Our muscles, while connected a little differently, act the same way. Dogs and people suffer from pretty much the same disorders and aliments.
You know the science. It’s widely accepted now that petting your dog helps lower your blood pressure. The same is true for your dog!
The Benefits
We are proud to say that there are a multitude of reasons why to choose canine massage therapy, such as:
- Improving Blood Circulation
- Reduce both Stress & Tensions in the Muscles
- Increased Range of Motion
- Relaxation of Muscles Spasms
- Improved Energy Level
- More Vibrant Coat
- Helps Mobilize & Remove Toxins
An overall stress reducer for both you and your dog.
When does my dog need a massage?
The frequency is up to you. Every dog can benefit from a massage therapy. It works well as preventive medicine. Here are some thoughts on when massage can be particularly beneficial:
Is your dog suffering from pain or stiffness?
A tight muscle scar issue built up from a previous injury: Toxins and waste products not properly flushed from the body can all cause discomfort. By massaging the muscles and tissues, we can relax them enough to allow the blood to flow freely and to its job.
Is your dog a sport companion or show dog?
If your dog is a sport companion or show dog, massage can be used to warm up or cool down for competitions, helping to minimize the risk of injury when dogs are asked to perform things their body may not be ready to do.
