Pet Massage

Many veterinarians now refer their patients to specially trained massage therapists to help relieve some of the pain associated with common problems like hip displaysia and arthritis. At Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat, we understand that the benefits of canine massage also make it an effective means of stress reduction that helps all dogs feel great!

Our certified canine massage therapist is available by special appointment or your pet can receive this special treat while staying with us.
