FAQ: When I complete the workshops, am I a “Certified PetMassageTM Therapist?”

No. At this time, there is no such title. Using this title would falsely indicate that you have the knowledge and experience to use our techniques as therapy. This might conflict with the laws in your state. There are several states whose Veterinary Scopes of Practice restrict what you may do and claim you do with animals. Please check with your state legislature and/or State Veterinary Licensing Board for regulations.

Also research online at www.iaamb.org. With completion of the Foundation workshop you are a PetMassageTM Provider, with completion of the Advanced workshop you are a PetMassageTM Practitioner.
