         black dog canine massage offers insured, low-stress, in-home care for the comfort and convenience of the client

     After completing the intake process and an initial massage session we will recommend an appointment schedule and formulate a plan for therapeutic techniques and bodywork to best serve the client. We may teach you some techniques aka homework to aid your pet in between sessions.

      We may consult with your veterinarian as canine massage is only one part of a healthy wellness plan for your pet. Canine massage therapy does not replace veterinary medicine.
