Healing Paws is the only mobile dog massage therapist in New Bern and surrounding areas! They offer in-home massages for your dog’s comfort. The owner, Rhonda received her license as a certified Canine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapist. She performed 100 practical hours, 50 of them working with rescues at Craven-Pamlico Animal Services Center. She started her mobile business, Healing Paws Canine Massage Therapy in November 2019. If your dog suffers from anxiety, arthritis, hip dysplasia, back problems, aching joints, or other ailments, Healing Paws can help your dog! When you set up an initial consultation with Rhonda, she will come into your home, meet your dog, and start the fact-gathering process. She’ll determine what your dog’s needs are and whether they are relaxation or therapeutic. Although Rhonda is not a veterinarian, her knowledge of anatomy as a personal trainer contributes to her ability to assess your dog and discover any problem(s) they may be experiencing. Rhonda uses aromatherapy like basil, which is used for focus, and a blend of lemongrass, marjoram, and frankincense for arthritis. These are only some of the canine safe oils she uses to suit your dog’s needs. Message Rhonda today for a consultation!
