Massage may be considered for pets experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, muscle spasm or atrophy, age-related changes, or the physical demands of canine athletics and working roles.

Treatment is adapted to the individual animal and may complement rehabilitation, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and conventional veterinary management.

Coordinated with your regular veterinarian

VHC’s holistic and integrative therapies are designed to complement your pet’s conventional veterinary care. Your primary veterinarian remains important for routine, acute, preventive, and emergency needs.
