The Benefits of Massage

Hello all. Yesterday, I took Mason to a Georgia Guide Dog Users Meeting yesterday. We started out the morning by discussing items such as animal control, and airports, (both something that could be part of a later post.) Also, we got to interact with a bunch of people who were either dog handlers, applying to be dog handlers, or raising puppies to be guide dogs. In the afternoon, we had a class on giving dogs a massage. We found out that massage is a good way to diagnose and treat many different ailments dogs get. Not only does it help sore joints, but it is a good way to find out if your dog has tumers or any sort of discomfort. I could go on in greater detail and discuss all the books and research, but I'd rather not bore you. Basically, massage is something that is highly beneficial for our 4-legged friends. Also, they definitely enjoy it.
