Ageing & Elderly Dogs
Clinical Canine Massage is the perfect therapy for your senior or ageing dog. As your dog gets older, they begin to slow down. This might not be so obvious in some dogs but you can be certain that their muscle and joints are no longer working to their full capacity.
​
Often senior dogs are associated with orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis, general stiffness and trouble getting up and down, reluctance to exercise, behavioural changes, muscle spasms and generally a lost zest for life. As a therapist it is my job to ensure that your companion enjoys their twilight years with ease and address ageing changes as a whole to bring back the spring in their step!
