In this episode of A Voice Unleashed, Dana Brigman of The Well Oiled K9 talks with Nancy Lilly, Certified Canine Massage Therapist and founder of Whiskers 2 Toes LLC, about the benefits of therapeutic massage for dogs.
We discuss how canine massage may support:
• Senior dogs experiencing stiffness or reduced mobility
• Dogs with tight, sore or overworked muscles
• Athletic and highly active dogs
• Recovery following an injury or veterinary procedure
• Joint comfort and healthy range of motion
• Circulation and lymphatic movement
• Relaxation, nervous system regulation and emotional well-being
• A stronger physical and emotional connection between dogs and their people
Nancy also explains what pet parents should know about massage safety, when massage may not be appropriate, the difference between gentle touch at home and professional therapeutic bodywork, and how to recognize whether your dog is comfortable with what you are doing.
Canine massage is more than petting—and harder pressure is definitely not always better. Learning how to read your dog’s body, respect their boundaries and use safe techniques can make massage a valuable part of a well-rounded wellness plan.

Canine massage should not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment. Dogs with an injury, illness, unexplained pain or recent surgery should be evaluated by their veterinarian before beginning a massage program.
