Q: Does massage replace veterinary care?
A: No! Massage works WITH your veterinary care to give your dog the best life possible.
Q: I massage my dog at home--why should I pay you to do it?
A: I am trained in PetMassage and techniques that really communicate with the body. I am a trained professional just like a human masseuse. Is getting a massage at home from your significant other the same as going to get a professional massage? No. It's the same for Fido. However, what you do IS important. Just like humans, dogs need touch. You're a big part of that. I just further that touch in a more complex way.
Q: My dog isn't a sport dog; can he still get a massage from you?
A: Of course! Every dog wants its day! I do specialize in sport dogs, but every dog deserves a massage from me.
Q: Will my pet insurance cover this?
A: No.
Q: Do you accept CareCredit?
A: Not at this time.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: Cash, credit, Venmo and PayPal.
Q: How often can my dog get a massage?
A: Either three times a week OR every other day maximum.
Q: Any aftercare instructions?

Q: How old does my dog have to be?
A: Right now I will massage any age as long as it is weaned from its mother.
Q: My dog has a wound, can it get a massage?
A: Yes! I will perform the massage as usual but avoid the open wound.
Q: Do I have to show proof of vaccines?
A: For my own safety, I do need to have proof of rabies or rabies titers.
