Just as massage therapy can help people, it is also good for dogs. Massage can help shy dogs become trusting and hyperactive dogs become calm. It can give aged and chronically ill dogs a new lease on life. Massage assists in the restoration of internal balance and harmony, helping facilitate healing in a way that complements the body’s natural healing ability.
Our Certified Canine Massage Therapist, Deb D'Andrea, is a graduate of the Boulder College of Massage as a Certified Canine Massage Therapist.
With a unique understanding of the canine skeletal and muscular systems, Deb combines her massage expertise with years of Qi Gong experience, enabling her to connect with canines so she may better understand and address their needs. Deb’s special gift of canine communication and calming touch gives her the ability to create a canine bond of trust and comfort, allowing her to massage dogs of various dispositions.
To complement the massages, she incorporates acupressure, aromatherapy and Qi touch. At Broadway Animal Hospital, Doggie Daycare participants are offered Canine Massages on Tuesdays and Thursdays during their stay. Other massages are provided by appointment.
