Important Note: Depending upon the purpose, when experiencing massage for the first time, your dog may not exhibit results in the first few sessions. Their bodies are going through physiological and involuntary changes, including changes to their nervous, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory and immune systems. While massage will help to relax them and provide pain relief, the physiological changes may take longer to be exhibited in some dogs than in others.
