🐾 Dog Sound Bath A gentle sound healing experience designed for dogs, with their humans alongside them. Join us for a small-group Dog Sound Bath, created to support your dog’s nervous system through gentle, grounding sound. This experience is designed for dogs first, with their humans alongside them for comfort, co-regulation, and connection. Using crystal singing bowls and other soft, supportive sounds, we create a calm environment where dogs are invited to settle, rest, and relax at their own pace. Some dogs may lie down, some may remain alert at first — all responses are welcome and respected. To help us prepare a calm and supportive experience, we kindly ask that payment be completed prior to attending. Dogs will remain on leash at all times and under the care of their person. Each dog will have space to rest comfortably next to their human while sound is offered with close attention to body language and comfort cues. Sound is adjusted as needed to support each dog’s comfort. This is a small group experience to ensure safety, calm energy, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to each dog. Important details: • Dogs must remain leashed at all times • Owners are responsible for their dog’s behavior and comfort • A waiver is required to attend • If a group setting is not the right fit for your dog, private sessions are available upon request Cost & Registration: • Cost: $75 per pet • Registration & Payment: Please complete advance payment using the link below.

Being around them has always brought her a sense of peace, and throughout her life, animals have healed her in so many ways. It felt only natural to want to give that same care back to them. As Tina watched many of her pets age, all she wanted was to help them feel more comfortable and supported. That desire is what inspired her to start Hoofs & Woofs Masseuse. She feels truly blessed to now be offering her services and to give back to the fur babies who give us so much every day. At Hoofs & Woofs Masseuse, Tina believes in promoting the health and well-being of your furry companions through specialized sports massage therapy, including equine massage therapy for horses and canine massage services for dogs. Her holistic approach not only focuses on relaxation and recovery but also incorporates elements like Animal Reiki to enhance overall wellness. She aims to reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility and range of motion, accelerate the healing of injuries, and provide stress relief for your beloved pets.
