What Experts Say about Canine Massage & Shiatsu 

“Massage reduces, aids in healing and provides ongoing health care for your pet.  By giving your dog the gift of massage, you are rewarding him/her for a lifetime of companionship and friendship.” 

                                                - Jonathan Rudinger, Founder of PetMassage Institute

“Pet massage is an essential part of total pet health care and maintenance… It is not only a healthy measure and a healing tool, but it helps bring pet and owner closer.”

- Dr. Michael Fox, DVM, Author of "The Healing Touch"

The calming massage will help your dog to relax and focus.  It is also a bonding process that builds mutual trust, respect, and appreciation… If you practice massage every day, your dog will respond easily to your calming touch, and this will enable you to calm him down quickly when you need to.”

- Jeanne Carlson, Professional Dog Trainer, Author of "Good Dogs, Bad Habits"

“Stimulating acupressure points not only heals sickness or unpleasant conditions, but is also a preventative health method.  Even when your dog does not suffer from particular disease, by stimulating acupressure points in your daily life, you can maintain your dog’s health.”

- Dr. Takashi Ishino, DVM, Author of "Wanko No Shiatsu (Doggy Shiatsu)"

“Touch is basic to the human-animal bond, as far as domestic pets go, and it’s no surprise that touch can be a major healing technique.  Dogs and cats get the same benefit from massage as people do.”

- Diane Stein, Author of "Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats"

“Regularly massaging your pet strengthens the bond of friendship and love that already exists between the two of you.  The more energy and time you invest in strengthening this bond, the greater your returns.  You will be rewarded with a more happy, playful, alert, intelligent, responsive, protective and loving pet.  To elicit these results, an occasional pat on the head is not enough.  Regular massage is required.”

- Ouida West, Author of "The Magic of Massage
