Non-human animals need massage too. National Pet Week is May 2-8, and massage therapists can use this nationally designated week to educate and inform the public about the benefits of massage to cats, dogs, horses and other animals, and to market an animal-massage practice.

Animal-related massage specialties include

equine massage; massage for pets such as dogs and cats; and massage for working dogs, such as those that perform search-and-rescue duties.

Please be sure to mention in your ads and marketing that you are CERTIFIED to perform any animal massage. Simply being a CMT or LMT for humans is not enough , nor is taking a weekend workshop. You wouldn't bring your prize horse to a D.O. or MD for a checkup, so this article should have pointed out this applies only to these specialists.
