How often should my pet get massaged?

Massage programs are designed for individual needs and budgets. We recommend one or two massage sessions per month for healthy maintenance.

Appointments/Requirements:

Massage sessions are available with our practitioner Mon - Fri by appointment. Saturdays appointments are by special request and require confirmation with the massage therapist.

All pets must meet the Midtown facility requirements.

The massage therapist will meet with the Owner at drop-off to discuss the pet's health and massage details. Owners are encouraged to pick up the pet as soon as possible after the massage has ended.

Schedule your dog for a massage to accompany her next grooming appointment and make his day at the grooming salon his new favorite thing!

Sign him up for a massage during his boarding stay and ensure that while you indulge on your get-away trip, your dog will be enjoying a relaxing vacation all his own.

In-home massage is available for an additional fee. *Cat massage is available only in-home. In-home massage requires proof of Rabies vaccination.
