The Benefits of Massage for Your Dog
In this episode we are going to learn about the benefits of massage for your dog. I am so excited to have Jennifer Robertson on the show with us. She is a small animal massage practitioner in the Los Angeles area and her company is I Work For Dogs. Jennifer studied at the Northwest School of Animal Massage near Seattle and has also studied acupressure as well.

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
