Happy Hounds Massage

Animal Massage can help detect, alleviate, and prevent recurrence of the conditions that could keep your pet from enjoying the freedom of movement they’re meant to have.

In-home services are offered within San Francisco city limits.  If you would like to schedule a massage for your pet and live outside the area please contact me for special arrangements.

An initial house-call is $90.00 and includes medical history, evaluation, assessment, and treatment.  Follow-up visits are $75.00 and include a re-evaluation, assessment, and treatment.

Gift coupons are available for use within San Francisco city limits. Coupons can be used for a house call, or through special arrangements. Please call to discuss your particular circumstances.

A wooden sign at the entrance reads "Rosie's Dog Beach, City of Long Beach" with a graphic of a dog. Tall palm trees stand along the edge of the sandy beach, and a small building is visible nearby. The beach occupies several acres next to Ocean Boulevard and provides an off-leash area where dogs can run and swim freely under an open sky.

This illustrated map of California highlights dog-friendly destinations across the state. The coastline features beaches where people and their dogs play in the surf and run along sandy stretches. Forests in the north show hikers with leashed pets on shaded trails beneath redwoods and pines. In the mountains, skiers navigate snowy slopes alongside dogs fitted with boots or jackets. Major landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood sign, Yosemite’s Half Dome, and Lake Tahoe are marked with small groups: travelers accompanied by their dogs exploring city parks or pausing at scenic lookouts. The map uses bold colors to distinguish natural regions—blue for ocean areas, green for forests, white for mountain peaks—and includes labeled icons indicating popular pet-friendly activities throughout California’s diverse landscape.
