"My dog Finley is super attached to me and my husband but after leaving her with Adam for 8 days ….when we came home she was ready to go home with him. I’m trying not to have hurt feelings 😆
Adam was super communicative giving us several updates a day, he took Fin on little adventures and she received massages. She’s in love and can’t wait for us to go away again"

What locations do you serve?

We primarily work with clients located in Vancouver BC as well as North & West Vancouver. Clients located outside of these cities will have a travel fee added onto their session price.
Where do animal massage sessions take place?

All massage sessions take place in the comfort of your own home! Animals generally feel safest and most relaxed in their own living environment. The more relaxed your pet is, the more effective the session will be. Plus, this provides the added benefit of you not having to travel anywhere!
How often should we book massage sessions?

Regular massage leads to the best results. Following your intake massage session, we will develop a custom plan to meet you and your companion's needs. Improvements can appear in as little as 1 - 3 sessions, which can then can be maintained with regular sessions every 4 – 6 weeks. Dogs who are highly active, living with mobility challenge or pain, or are senior, are best supported with regular sessions every 1 to 3 weeks. Sometimes a higher frequency is suggested depending on your dog's condition. Your dog will often be the one to tell you when it is time to book another session. Generally, it is recommended to book another session when they appear to be slowing down, presenting with more stiffness, or displaying subtle signs of pain or discomfort. You will be provided with stretches and exercises you can do throughout the week in order to maintain the benefits of the massage for as long as possible.
Are discounts available?

Yes! We offer referral discounts. If the person you are referring books and completes a session, you will receive your next massage session or day of petcare free of charge! We also offer 10% for actively employed first responders with the following designations: EMR, EMT, PCP, ACP, CCP, EMCT, EMD, EFD, ECO, RN, 911 operator, firefighter, & police.
Is massage just petting?

Certified massage is much, much more than just petting! Massage sessions integrate anatomical expertise with targeted, muscle-specific techniques to benefit our furry companions in numerous ways. Peer-reviewed research reflects the immeasurable benefits that massage can bring to your furry friend's life. See below for more info
