Massage therapy with animals can be enormously rewarding on an emotional level: seeing an animal regain use of a limb or recover the ability to connect with humans is gratifying beyond words. As the benefits of massage for animals become more widely known among the general public and accepted by the veterinary community the field is also becoming increasingly financially rewarding. So, is this rapidly growing profession right for you?

Our mission is to prepare and enable people to work safely, effectively, and professionally with dogs, cats, and other small companion animals. We provide a hands-on learning experience in each part of our practitioner training program and a low student-to-instructor ratio that allows for addressing of individual concerns and close observation of each participant’s work.

The CATT practitioner training program attracts students from veterinary and animal-related professions as well as human bodywork; animal massage has a wide variety of applications. Principle instructor W. Bruce Bregenzer draws upon that diversity as well as his own knowledge and experience while developing an approach to getting animals to work co-operatively in the massage.

On behalf of the animals, thank you for your interest and attention,
