“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn’t even know we had.”

— Thom Jones

At Willow Paws, I offer specialized canine massage therapy designed to improve the well-being of your dog, particularly senior pets. While senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, I also love working with athletic dogs, working dogs, and dogs with special needs. Every session is tailored to your dog’s unique physical, emotional, and mobility needs.

In addition to massage therapy, I also offer Cold Laser Therapy. A safe, non-invasive modality that uses low-level light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing.

When integrated with massage, cold laser therapy provides deeper relief for dogs experiencing:

  • Arthritis or hip/elbow dysplasia

  • Post-surgical or injury recovery

  • Muscle tightness, joint discomfort, or aging-related stiffness

  • Skin conditions or slow-healing wounds

I hold certification in Cold Laser Therapy for Companion Animals through the American Institute of Medical Laser Applications (AIMLA) and use this modality strictly within a wellness-based, non-diagnostic scope. When appropriate, I welcome veterinary collaboration or referrals.

What to Expect During a Session

Whether we’re focusing on joint stiffness, sports recovery, or total relaxation, your dog will receive personalized care. Massage sessions may include Full Body Massage, Acupressure, and/or Cold laser therapy. Length of session depends on the tolerance, comfort level, and size of each individual dog.

Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes. If cold laser is included, it will be applied before or after massage, depending on your dog’s comfort and therapeutic needs. You may notice signs of relief such as sighs, stretches, or relaxation during the session, and sometimes a good nap afterward!

Massage Safety & Scheduling

Not sure how often your dog should receive massage? I’ll help guide you based on their condition, lifestyle, and response; whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly care.

Before Your Appointment:

To help your dog enjoy the session fully:

  • Make sure they’ve had a potty break beforehand.

  • Choose a quiet, comfortable space with minimal distractions.

  • Avoid feeding a large meal right before the session.

  • If possible, keep other pets and young children occupied during the session.

After Your Appointment: What’s Normal?

Following a massage session, your dog may:

  • Feel sleepy or nap more than usual

  • Drink extra water or urinate more frequently

  • Experience mild, temporary soreness (like post-workout stiffness)

  • Seek quiet time or become playful and energetic

  • Stretch, sigh, or move more easily

The body is simply going through the process of cleansing itself of impurities, toxins and muscular imbalances. It is perfectly normal and these are all positive signs that the massage is having the desired effect. 

Support your dog by offering water, rest, and gentle walks. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment to maximize healing benefits.

  • Gentle, Healing Touch for Dogs of All Ages

    Massage therapy is a natural way to support pain relief, mobility, and relaxation for your dog. Whether your pup is recovering from an injury, struggling with arthritis, or just needs some extra TLC, massage sessions can help.

  • Revitalize Your Senior Dog’s Golden Years

    Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive and highly effective treatment option that helps promote healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility for pets. This treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity, leading to improved tissue repair and relief from inflammation and pain.



  • Canine massage is a gentle, non-invasive form of complimentary care

    A Compassionate Approach: With a deep passion for animal wellness, I ensure that each session is not only therapeutic but also a calming, loving experience. Always check with your veterinarian before seeking out massage, should your pet have a specific condition.

    Massage is not meant to diagnose but intended as a complimentary modality and is a holistic approach to health and healing.
