Massage and decompression for dogs is very popular nowadays

Taking the time to massage your baby for 10 minutes every day can help your dog Take good care of yourself.
Use a palm-sized amount of palm oil to slowly touch the dog's body, and emotionally touch all parts of the dog, including hair, skin, fat, muscles, and even bones. This special "stroking" can make the dog quickly realize that it is bathed in loving care. Soon you will find that although you waste some massage time, you will gain more.
A few days later, you can have a better understanding of the normal state of your dog’s body. During the daily routine massage, you can quickly notice changes in your dog's body, such as surface temperature, touch sensation, local swelling or muscle tension, decreased fur health, or skin tightening.

2. Soothe a nervous dog
When the sound of thunder makes your dog start to cry, pant, and hide under the bed, what should you do?How can we make it less tense?
The answer is probably massage. Use methods similar to stroking to relax the nervous system. Gently lay your palm flat on the dog's head or neck, gently stroke it along the spine to the tail, slowly and repeatedly. If your dog likes this kind of massage, you can gradually reduce the force. After the massage is completed, place one hand under the dog's head and the other hand under the pelvis. These two parts should partially control the spinal nerves that rest and relax body reactions. This method is very helpful when your dog is nervous or fearful due to nail trimming or vaccination, or when he is agitated or anxious.
3. Warm up your gorgeous dog
When you go out for exercise, you may often hear people advising you that warm-up exercise is very important. In fact, all good dogs like to compete, run, play hide-and-seek with their owners, or simply play hard. They should also have good warm-up exercises to avoid injuries. For the first few minutes, please caress your dog's entire body, gently rub the larger muscles (such as neck, shoulders, buttocks, and thighs) with your hands, gently squeeze the muscles and then release. This gesture is similar to kneading bread dough. Let your fingers cover each lower limb and squeeze gently, then relax, step by step, so that all of the dog's legs receive a warm-up massage. More petting for all sizes of dog to stimulate nerves? ? , interrupt this period of treatment.
4. Relieve joint stiffness and soreness
If you took your dog to play in the garden for several hours on the weekend, and climbed Tianshan Mountain for a whole day on Sunday, then on Monday , the dog doesn’t look so bright!
Does your dog come out lame to drink water or stop playing with you? If the dog consumes too much physical energy in the near future, or the dog is getting older, it will cause pain and joint and muscle stiffness. If you want to help your dog relieve joint stiffness and soreness, please start by stroking the joints to warm the joint structure, then cover the joints with your hands and apply gentle pressure.
You can gradually establish the frequency of massage and the rhythm of relaxation by cooperating with your breathing or your own body count. The motor-like movement can drive the fluid in the muscles to vibrate and release the muscle tension in the joints. Do not exert sudden or perpendicular force on the bones, but use more massage to relax the nerves. Remember, massaging your pet regularly in daily life can help prevent joint stiffness and pain, which can help prevent arthritis. I would like to remind you again that massage cannot replace veterinary treatment. In serious cases, please ask your veterinarian for treatment and treatment.
