Pain-Free Pooch Five Natural Therapies that Work
by Jennifer Kachnic
Because dogs won’t always let us know when they’re hurting, some people assume they don’t ex- perience pain the same way we do, but that’s not the case. Instincts retained from their wild heritage will generally prompt them to hide pain as it’s a sign of weakness.

Massage therapy relaxes muscles and also stimulates endorphins, increases circulation, elevates ox- ygen levels, flushes toxins, helps with inflammation, strength- ens the immune system and accelerates healing.
