You’re joking, right?
Massage for my dog?
Well, dogs need massages too! Massage therapy as practiced by a qualified professional is grounded in real science – anatomy, kinesiology and psychology, and has practical applications for a dog’s physical and mental health.
Did you know?
It is able to calm or stimulate our dogs via the nervous system and it helps the skeletal system to have the full range of motion.
Here are just a few ways that dogs, from puppies to seniors can benefit from massage:
- Strengthens the immune system
- Improves blood and lymphatic circulation to muscles and cells
- Helps eliminate toxins
- Relaxes and calms a nervous or anxious dog
- Exercises weak, tight, or atrophied or wasted muscles
- Enhances muscle tone, increases joint flexibility
- Eases pain and soreness from conditions like arthritis and hip dysplasia
- Promotes quicker healing from injury or after surgery
- Improves condition of their skin and coat
- Acts as a passive form of exercise for inactive dogs (couch potatoes), post surgical dogs, one who is recovering from illness and geriatric dogs
Science Behind Massage
Does It Work?
The power of massage can bring about a sense of calm and comfort in dogs which help with their natural healing abilities by relieving pain and discomfort.
Does massage really work?
Absolutely! 100% YES!
There are approximately 700 muscles in our dog’s body which accounts for 45% of their entire weight.
These muscles are what allow them to move, run, jump and play and give the dog’s body the power, strength and ability to move.
If you have ever pulled a muscle yourself, had a back injury or strained a muscle, then you will know how restricting such an injury can be.
As we get older, our body seems to ache more, we get joint pains and stiffness in our muscles, and we generally don’t feel as agile.
Well, dogs are exactly the same. Through massage, all dogs can benefit from this 100% natural, hands-on method of injury repair, pain relief and relaxation.

All massages are performed by our certified canine massage practitioner. We use our proprietary PFL Touch. This unique combination of massage and TTouch bodywork promotes calm & relaxation, faster healing, and enhaces general well being in your fur kids.
Every session will include a full body PFL Touch, range of motion exercise and stretching. The time required for each massage and the cost varies with the size of the dog. Massage fees start from $80 per session.
Please ensure that your dog does not eat at least 1 hour prior to your session.
“Massage has so many physical and psychological benefits for your dog that you could almost call it an essential of healthcare, like grooming, feeding, and exercise.”
