February 6: Workshop for Dogs and Handlers – Massage Away Those Winter Aches
Cold, damp Oregon winters are just as hard on pets as they are on humans. Massage is a proactive therapy that is extremely beneficial for dogs living with mobility issues or chronic illness as well as those recovering from surgery. For healthy, active dogs, massage is an effective way to prevent muscle related problems and strain injuries.
