  • Massage will stimulate muscles for top performance and increase energy for agility, show or hunting dogs.
  • Arthritic dogs experience pain from both the affected joint(s) as well as from the surrounding healthy muscles due to overcompensation, which can cause damage and stress to the rest of the body. Massage can ease the pain and discomfort from arthritis as well as over-used, cramping or tense muscles.
  • Massage can increase circulation, blood flow, and improve skin and coat health.
  • Massage can decrease inflammation, improve joint mobility, and increase muscle mass.

An Affordable Way to Make a Boarding Stay More Comfortable

While all dogs are provided with bedding while boarding at Aspen Grove, we unfortunatley can't offer all the comforts of home such as carpet. In order for our kennels to be cleaned and sanitized properly, they have concrete floors. Even with comfortable bedding, your dog's muscles may still get stiff and soar; especially if your dog is getting up in years.

A 30-minute massage can ease soar, stiff muscles and make their stay with us more comfortable.
