What the humans are saying

My only regret is I did not do this sooner for my senior pittie Caspian. He would have been so much happier months ago! I have never seen my boy melt like butter until his first massage.

ANDREA K.

What the humans are saying

My dog is very skittish, and Alyson was so patient and so skilled that Faith was nestled in her lap in no time at all. Alyson made a huge difference in Faith's quality of life before her scheduled CCL surgery.

Deb M.

What the humans are saying

I contacted Alyson after my dog, Mia, was diagnosed hyperthyroidism and cancer and now all of my dogs get to experience massages. Alyson has a true gift, my dogs just love her!

Dedicated to Your Dog’s Well-Being

At Ash & Oak Therapy, we believe every dog deserves to feel comfortable, confident, and strong in their body. Through personalized canine massage, fitness, and conditioning, we support dogs through every stage of life: from growing pups and active athletes to injury recovery and the changing needs of senior dogs. Every session is tailored to the individual dog, with a gentle, thoughtful approach focused on improving movement, supporting overall wellness, and helping them enjoy more of the things they love.

Every session is tailored to your dog’s individual needs, using massage, stretching, and conditioning techniques that support comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.

Questions & Answers

Do you come to us, or do we come to you?

Both! Mobile appointments are available, and travel is included for locations within a 30-minute radius of Ferguson, MO. For visits beyond that area, a flat $10 travel fee applies. Appointments are also available at Back On Track Veterinary Hospital in O'Fallon, MO for clients who prefer an in-clinic visit.

What conditions can canine massage help with?

Canine massage supports dogs of all ages and activity levels. It can help relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and stiffness, improve joint mobility, increase circulation, aid recovery after surgery or injury, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance overall comfort and quality of life. Whether your dog is an active athlete, a senior companion, or recovering from an injury, massage can be a valuable part of their wellness routine.

How do I know if my dog could benefit from massage?

Many dogs benefit from massage, not just those recovering from an injury. Signs your dog may benefit include stiffness, limping, difficulty getting up, reluctance to jump or climb stairs, decreased activity, muscle tension, slowing down with age, or soreness after exercise. Massage can also help maintain mobility and support overall wellness before problems arise.

What should I expect during an in-home session?

Every dog responds differently. Some relax immediately, while others need a little time to warm up. Sessions are always tailored to your dog's comfort level and may include short breaks if they need water, a potty break, or simply a moment to move around. Most dogs leave their session feeling calm and relaxed, and many enjoy a restful nap afterward.

How often will my dog need massage?

Every dog has unique needs. Some benefit from occasional maintenance sessions, while others recovering from injury, managing arthritis, or improving performance may benefit from more frequent visits. After your initial evaluation, we'll recommend a treatment plan based on your dog's goals, lifestyle, and progress.
