The field of animal massage is new and exciting, and Beach Pet is there on the cutting edge.  Many studies have shown that therapeutic massage is beneficial in many ways, not only for humans but for animals as well.  Muscle tension and stress can build up in the muscles of healthy animals, leading to less activity and thus, less circulation of blood to vital organs and muscles.  In the geriatric pet, massage can help to relieve soreness in tightened, restricted muscles, improving circulation and encouraging a general feeling of well-being.  Massage improves the flexibility of muscles and helps to prevent injury, whether the dog is competing or just at play with family members.

We have on staff two trained pet massage therapists who will be happy to answer your questions and show you our soothing, relaxing pet massage room.
