Waig's K-9 Massage

Canine massage is a gentle, non-invasive therapy designed to enhance your dog’s quality of life. I use soft tissue manipulation techniques that coincide with in-depth understanding of the overall structure, balance, and movement of small animals. With a variety of benefits, canine massage can be used to target specific health issues or to simply allow your dog to relax and enjoy life.
