Dog Massage?

[mbarker]

Do dogs really need a special massage?

The other day, a roving report happened to take a stroll through Azabu Juban, in Tokyo. This is a pretty ritzy area, with lots of specialty stores. Maybe kind of like Rodea Drive in Beverly Hills, from what I've heard of it? Or pick your ritzy area.

Ah, good point. Some breeds do have trouble with their hips and such, and if it helps with that, having a pro do a rub (or chiropractor straighten the bones?) would be nice. This didn't seem to be that level of massage, but perhaps they were just showing off for the cameras.

Dogs are pretty accommodating, aren't they?

It may work, but the cats won't admit it :-) I've seen cats climb their favorite person trying to avoid that wet stuff...

Therapeutic massage is supposed to be very good for pets, although I wouldn't pay for it probably. OTOH, it might have been good for my cat that had arthritis. I have heard that it is also good for mood and general wellness. Again, I would pay for it, but I'm cheap.

Interesting. I have to admit, I grew up with dogs, but most of them were from the animal shelter or friends, and the idea of spending money on a massage... nah. Thanks!
