How Massage Therapy Can Help Your Pet Feel Better


Listen Later

Want to help your pet feel better, heal faster, and trust you more?

Most pet parents have no idea that massage therapy can improve everything from joint pain to anxiety.

In this episode, I sit down with certified canine massage therapist Blanca Rodriguez to explore the power of pet massage and how it can boost your pet’s quality of life.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How massage therapy supports pain relief, trust, and emotional regulation
  • Simple ways to create a calm, safe space for a massage at home
  • Why end-of-life pets, senior dogs, and anxious animals can benefit the most

If your pet is aging, recovering from injury, or just needs a little more peace, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible with massage therapy.
