Animal Massage Schools - USA

Animal massage schools in the US listed by state, with visiting courses at the end of the list. Many of the practitioners on the list also travel to other countries to teach, and there are links to those countries’ lists from each practitioner. You will find visiting courses and workshops at the end of each list (on the Europe massage school list, all visiting courses, regardless of which country they are visiting, are at the bottom of the list).

For a quick overview of the more comprehensive canine massage programs offered, check out my “Comparison of Canine Massage Programs in the US” post.

If you know of a school that belongs on this list, please contact me.
