Your animal means the world to you. The bond between an animal and his or her owner is immeasurable. You invest time, money, and love to be sure that your cat, dog, horse, or other animal companion is the best that they can be. Whether your goal for your animal is reaching peak performance, overcoming injury quickly, or enjoying old age in comfort, at Lively Animal Massage, I can provide services to help you reach that goal. Using the tools of myofascial release, animal massage, and Reiki, I can help your animal on the path to wellness.

I understand that you want qualified and trained professionals caring for your animal. You can be assured that I will provide the best possible care. I teach The Bancroft School of Massage Therapy's highly regarded animal programs. I am also chair of the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupuncture and Massage.

🦔 Lisa Ruthig — Certified Animal Massage Therapist in Franklin, Massachusetts


Lisa provides professional, hands-on animal massage therapy to dogs, cats, and companion animals in Franklin, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Every session is tailored to your pet's individual needs — whether that's relieving muscle tension, improving mobility, reducing anxiety, or simply supporting long-term wellness.


Benefits of Sessions with Lisa


Pets who receive regular massage therapy often show meaningful improvements in comfort, flexibility, and overall disposition. Sessions can ease the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis, calm anxious or nervous animals, support recovery from injury, and strengthen the bond between pet and owner — all through gentle, non-invasive hands-on care.


💖 Helping Your Beloved Pet Feel Their Best


There is nothing harder than watching a pet you love struggle with pain, stiffness, or anxiety and feeling powerless to help. Holistic animal massage therapy offers pet owners in Franklin a gentle, natural way to make a real difference in their companion's daily life. Whether your dog is slowing down with age, your cat is carrying tension they can't shake, or your pet simply deserves a moment of deep, restorative care — Lisa is here to help. Every session is delivered with compassion, patience, and an unwavering commitment to your pet's comfort and wellbeing. Because your family pet deserves to feel good, move freely, and enjoy every day to the fullest.


How Sessions Work


Each session begins with a brief assessment of your pet's condition, allowing Lisa to identify areas of tension and tailor the massage accordingly. Sessions typically run between 30 and 60 minutes depending on your pet's size and needs, and most animals show visible signs of relaxation from the very first visit. Follow-up sessions build on previous progress, focusing on continued comfort and long-term wellness.
