I took Hugo to a massage therapist upon recommendation and what a recommendation. The therapist picked up a few niggles on Hugo that were causing his lameness and since the 1st session he has barely had any lame moments at all. We've had a couple of sessions since and the last one the therapist was very pleased with his progress. These massages are beneficial I'd even say essential for dogs, my therapist is brilliant at what she does. I'll be back when we can with our new pup. Thanks.
