ZEN
Zen is defined as a "meditative state." While animals don't meditate per se, they can attain a state of calm relaxation that is important to their physical and mental health. Helping them achieve that calm, relaxed state is my goal with each and every animal I massage. We lead stressful lives, and our animals feed off of that energy and thereby absorb our stress. Just as massage benefits our physical and mental health, these treatments greatly assist in improving the quality of life of our four-legged friends.
 | We can all identify with how good we feel after a massage. And we know how much our dogs love a good belly rub or a scratch behind the ears. It is no wonder that the benefits that we experience through massage can also apply to our pets!
Benefits of massage for your pet include:
|
All pets, young and old, can benefit from receiving massage. Older pets suffer the effects of age and gravity similar to the way people do: with arthritis, stiff joints, and decreased mobility; all of which massage can help diminish and even eliminate. For young pets experiencing growing pains, massage can help alleviate the pain from quickly growing bones and muscles. Even if your pet is healthy and has no apparent problems, he/she can still experience enjoyment and benefit from a relaxing massage.
When you use ZenDog, your dog receives a massage in the comfort of his/her own home. I travel to all of my clients' homes in the Atlanta metro area because pets are more relaxed when in their home environment. I also provide pet sitting, dog walking, and pet taxi services.

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you and the fur crew!
Namaste,
