A small animal massage session is a relaxing, hands-on experience tailored to your pet's individual needs. Sessions take place in your home or a comfortable, familiar environment — wherever your dog or cat feels most at ease.

What to Expect

We begin with a brief intake conversation to learn about your pet's health history, any current concerns, and your goals for the session. The massage itself uses a variety of techniques — effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), compression, and gentle stretching — adapted to your animal's size, condition, and comfort level.

Sessions typically run 45–60 minutes for dogs. Cats often prefer shorter sessions of 20–30 minutes, as they tend to reach their threshold more quickly. We always follow the animal's lead and end the session when they indicate they are done.

After the Session

Many animals are deeply relaxed after a massage and may sleep more than usual. Offer fresh water and allow your pet to rest. Some animals show increased energy and playfulness — both responses are normal.
