Does massage only benefit older dogs?
Massages makes a great alternative modality of treatment for puppies to geriatric dogs and all ages in between. Massaging puppies not only gets them used to human touch, but also to having their ears and paws messed with, making grooming much easier in the future. It also keeps their growing joints flexible and lubricated with nourishing Synovial fluid. This is especially true for larger breed puppies, whose bodies tend to grow at an incredible pace, making it hard for their bones to keep up with the need for nourishment to the joints.
