About Us
Pawsitive Pet Massage is a mobile business serving areas in Pierce County and Thurston County, Washington.
My name is Lisa Spangler. I am a Small Animal Massage Practitioner (SAMP) and received my training from the Northwest School of Animal Massage (NWSAM) in both Maintenance and Rehabilitation Massage Therapy. I am certified by the Washington State Department of Health and insured through ABMP.
I come to you and provide the massage session to your pet in the comfort of your home. I work primarily with dogs of all ages and sizes and the occasional cat.
​
The first session includes meeting with the pet parent to get a health history and all important information. This also gives the animal a chance to get used to a new person being in their home before starting right into a massage. Most animals prefer to be on the floor on a loved blanket or bed and some favor a spot on the couch. I will work with them wherever they feel most secure and comfortable. I see every pet as an individual and tailor each session to them. It is common for dogs to get up and move around during the session, and they may choose not to lie down at all during the first session or 2 until they understand what to expect. Every animal is different so each massage is different based on its needs.
