How Long Does A Massage Take
Massages can take 15, 20 or 30 minutes depending on what best suits your pet and what you desire your pet to have. A list of massages available and a description of each can be found by going to www.vagaro.com/healinghandspetmassage.
How Much Does A Massage Cost
Massages vary in price depending on the intensity and time frame. Prices range from $8.00 to $40.00. House calls are at the high end of pricing due to travel time and cost. Relaxing/soothing massages are at the lower end due to a shorter time frame and less intensity. Cost saving massages are available to those needing to schedule multiple visits or those having more than one pet in the family needing a massage.

What To Expect At Appointment
Does my dog have to sit still?
Are cats different than dogs to massage?
Are cats different than dogs to massage?
Absolutely NOT. In fact, the first few times your dog is massaged, he or she may want to stand or sit. Your dog may not want to stay still for the duration. That is fine. I work on their terms! After the 3rd massage, they will know the routine and more than likely lay down and relax. No worries!

Are cats different than dogs to massage?
Yes and no. Cats have the same muscle groups as dogs, therefore the same muscles are massaged. However, cats usually only tolerate the light pressure, which is why I only offer soothing massages for cats. Cats find their comfort zones differently than dogs and can be more fearful of their surroundings. I like cat parents to be present for massages because they help provide a relaxing environment for their pet.

What to expect after a massage
After a massage, your dog or cat may need a nice drink and a chance to go potty. Then, they may settle down for a nice long nap. On some occasions your pet may have a burst of energy before settling down for a long nap. Also, your pet may be a little sore the following day if they had a full massage. If you are doing multiple massages, after 3, your pet should not be sore the next day.
