Holistic relief through gentle pressure and energy balance.
Calming Canine Connections provides massage and acupressure services at Blair Animal Clinic.

Massage brings together compassion, science, and skilled touch to support your dog’s overall well-being. Our canine massage services are rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy, behavior, and therapeutic techniques. Going beyond muscle work to address fascial restrictions, support lymphatic flow, and engage the nervous system for deeper, whole-body benefits. Our goal is to help dogs feel better in their bodies, reduce stress, and enjoy a happier, more balanced quality of life.
Acupressure is a key part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, focused on rebalancing the body's energy to support overall health. When energy is balanced, it helps prevent injury and illness. While energy work might sound a little like "hoo-doo magic" at first, there's solid science behind it! Many acupressure points align with nerve-rich areas in the skin, fascia, and muscles, making it a powerful tool for promoting wellness.
