Please remember that massage, bodywork, energy work and associated applications are not substitution for good veterinary treatment. Healthcare should be provided by your trusted licensed doctor of veterinary medicine. Nothing herein should be mistake for veterinary medicine and the recommendations herein are not medical treatment.

Per the Texas Board of Veterinary Medicine 2006: "As we view it, massage is acceptable as long as it does not involve diagnosing or treating. There is a fine line here, but some massage can be interpreted as treatment, and that would be the practice of veterinary medicine which is prohibited to massage practitioners except under the supervision of a veterinarian."
