This is cutting edge research. Our studies require the participation of hundreds of dogs and their guardians. These studies are intended to help the professional community, the local vet, and to learn and establish guidelines for the use of PetMassage_™. We are working with the local veterinary community to enroll prospective candidates.

Note: Participation is limited only to dogs referred by a licensed veterinarian.

We are not veterinarians. We are clear in the limits of our scope of practice. Our focus is on massage therapy and its applications as a potential complement to traditional veterinary services.
