Hands-On Healing by Dr. Fulghum

At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we believe that healing starts with comfort—and sometimes, that means the power of touch. Our massage therapy services, performed by Dr. Fulghum, are designed to promote relaxation, reduce pain, and support the overall well-being of your pet.

What Is Veterinary Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy for pets is the manual manipulation of soft tissues to improve physical function, reduce discomfort, and enhance circulation. This holistic treatment can benefit pets of all ages—whether they’re recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic pain, or simply in need of stress relief.
