Operated by Professional Groomer Allison Alonso
(20 years experience)
Allison joined the A-C Vet staff in 2005. She owned and operated her own pet salon for 17 years prior to joining our team.

Allison has recently been certified in Canine Massage Therapy and has expanded her business in this area. She will be transitioning out of grooming and into massage therapy over the next several months. 

The benefits that people have experienced from different forms of massage have been shown to have very positive results in animals.  There are many reasons to consider massge and its effects on dogs.  Generally used for relaxing the animal, the practice can also be used for rehabilitation.  With sporting dogs, a "sports massage" can be very beneficial in relieving muscle cramping and soreness.  Other benefits can include the release of toxins, reducing stiffness, improving circulation, and improving mental focus and attitude. There have also been reports of reduced hyperactivity, anxiousness, and nervousness, particularly helping in cases of separation anxiety.

Canine massage should be used in conjunction with good veterinary care.  It can aide in the recovery process from many types of injuries.
