    Working deep into those shoulders.
    Arash A.

    My boy jumped off the bed and tweaked his back. After we got a green light from our vet, I scheduled an appointment with Gene immediately. He response time is very quick and very polite. On the day of our appointment he arrived in time and listened to my concerns and did a thorough evaluation before he began his magic. My dog is a peoples person but cautious around new people, he took to Gene immediately and passed out while getting his shoulders worked on. After the session he ran around for 30 minutes to show me how nimble he was until he snored for the next 5 hours. Money well spent and definitely continuing sessions to further open the tightness in his back and hammies.

    The best money I ever spent. My senior Bernese, Henry, loved Gene and the massage. Gene is an expert - it was so helpful to get his feedback on where Henry is experiencing stiffness or pain. Henry immediately relaxed into his session and looked like a whole new dog afterwards. I could see the difference in his energy levels and how he was carrying himself. Gene is a pleasure to interact with, brings an entire professional setup, and encourages owners to stick around and watch the massage. It was a treat for me, too! I even felt more relaxed after, ha. Will definitely be booking again.

    We loved Gene! My dog needed a little TLC, he's your typical high strung terrier mix and has a hard time just relaxing. He took to Gene right away and although he never laid down, he clearly enjoyed his 40 minute massage and I could feel when petting him afterwards how loose his muscles felt... just like a spa day! We will be repeat customers as The Colonel is a senior and always in need of some extra body work. Highly recommend!

    Dory just loved the massage, it was so wonderful! We are so grateful! I will definitely book this again! Dory is a rescue and she just was so happy!!! Professional, on time, and so nice!

    What a great day for my baby, of course my pup, he had his first massage. I was a bit hesitant because I didn't think he would sit still. Rambo is now knocked out calm and relaxed. First off Gene was really helpful before meeting him. I found him through Yelp. I called at least 7 different masseuses. I choose Gene because of his professionalism and he was patient with all my many questions. I'm not going to let just anyone touch my dog or more importantly leave my dog with someone I don't know for 30mins. But Gene talked me through how it worked, and introduced himself, and wasn't pushy which I respect. This will definitely become a regular thing for my babies. Rambo really loved it. He is young and healthy I just wanted to give him a birthday gift and honestly was the best one in 6 years. Thank you Gene it was a pleasure meeting you and my babies can't wait to see you again. Oh! And he comes to you. Love!!!!

    Boba and Gene!

    Gene has helped my family's dogs feel so much better! I have a shiba inu who can be shy and not sure picky about pets and cuddles. But with Gene, my shiba relaxes and he leans into the massage because it feels good! Gene is very intuitive on what spots need extra healing. He's very friendly and sweet with both dogs and humans! Highly recommend.

    Mochi getting all the love from Gene!

    I didn't know that there were doggy masseuses out there! I'm so glad I decided to check Yelp to see if I could book my pup Mochi a birthday massage. Sooo glad I found Gene! Mochi usually barks at strangers when they walk through the door, but she didn't with Gene which is so rare! Gene brought doggy music with him for the session and was very calm and gentle with Mochi. He even got her to yawn a few times between giving him a quick nose kiss! Mochi was very excited after the session, lots of energy walking around wagging her tail. Everyone call Gene and give your pup the best gift ever! Pup heaven!

    Gene from Dancing Dog Massage and #Shaggy
    Liliana M.

    #Shaggy (my black Labrador) just had a massage from Dancing Dog Massage and it was fantastic! Gene (great dog masseuse) was professional, friendly and just an overall dog lover so of course Shaggy loved him. Gene set the mood and atmosphere for Shaggy to get comfortable. He used therapy oils to soothe Shaggys senses, calming music, comfy cushioned mat and a happy smile before getting started. Shaggy got a 50 min massage and every muscle in his body was worked on. Gene found several tension areas on Shaggy and worked them all out. Shaggy felt like a king for those 50 min and felt years younger after the massage! Gene also taught me which areas I can massage Shaggy on my own too! Both Shaggy and I had a great experience with Dancing Dog Massage and would most definitely recommend him to every dog lover that wants the best for their dog. This won't be the last time we have Gene over to massage Shaggy....I have found the perfect birthday present for Shaggy every year!

    Osito with Gene after an awesome session.

Jess is not only a talented groomer but she's also just amazing with our dog. We know she has his best interests at heart and that she genuinely is taking her time with him so he doesn't get overwhelmed. We are so thankful we have found her and recommend her to anyone looking for a groomer, particularly if you have an anxious dog like us. Mowgli looks great and is also just building so much confidence with her. It's the perfect spot and we couldn't be happier!! So relieved that we have such a safe space for Mowgli

The amount of stress I had leading up to his first groom was debilitating considering he does not like strangers, he does not like grooming tools, and he does not like being touched by strangers. Luckily we found Jessica and the relief I felt after meeting her and seeing her in action with our little pup was immense. We started with a couple desensitization sessions - he nipped, he urinated out of fear, and he trembled (all while on medication). But she worked slowly and listened to his fear and over the course of those sessions was able to start using the tools while keeping him at or below his fear threshold. By session three he got a full groom and looked absolutely adorable. I'm not exaggerating when I say Jessica is the only person we trust our dog with. Our lil' guy is on the extreme end of the spectrum, and if she can get him acquainted with a haircut and bath, she can do anything.

Heather is super friendly with a huge heart, who is down to earth and not new age at all, 100% relatable. I can't recommend her enough and if you live in LA she is a must visit.

She has given me tools and resources that I use daily to empower me for life's ups and downs. Homework as she calls it. All I know is that her techniques work every single time for me. There is not one person in my life that hasn't heard me speak of Heathers amazing gifts. Saying she is a helper in this world, would be a understatement. She has helped me immensely during some very major life changes. I also have started taking my 17 and 3 year old dogs and 16 year old cat for reiki as well . They all have been noticeably more chipper and active after their first session . Especially my elderly pets. The difference was very noticeable . Thanks so much again Heather

    Dr. Polkowski at Comfortable Pets is The Best…read more She visited my senior puppy dog Boom Boom at my house & was so sweet to him. She spent over two hours with us. She examined him & performed various treatments (acupuncture, massage, Assisi loop, etc), but mostly she spent time educating me on how I could care for him better & understand what might be causing him discomfort. I've worked at an animal hospital for over 20 years & am super fortunate to have access to great veterinary care. My dog has a primary veterinarian & I work at an emergency vet facility but Dr. Polkowski was able to offer treatments & knowledge that I wasn't even aware of. She showed me things that I could do at home regularly to help Boom Boom feel better. I adopted Boom Boom from the animal shelter. He came with arthritis & soreness. Fortunately between Dr. Polkowski and Boom Boom's general doctor (at VCA McClave in Reseda), I feel I am better equipped to improve his quality of life.

The foster group (HIT Living Foundation - wonderful people) took her from a high-kill shelter after she was found wandering the streets covered in fleas and ticks and with a lame left leg/paw. She had a brachial plexus avulsion (tearing of the nerves) and wasn't moving the paw, leg or shoulder at all. Any vet will tell you that this is a very hard injury to treat and almost always results in amputation of that leg. Also, in general, Snoop was just not in good physical shape. I found Lori through a recommendation and asked her to come evaluate Snoop after I had been fostering her for about two weeks. I was nervous at first as Snoop is very people scared and only lets my boyfriend and I touch her. Lori, with her wonderful assistant/shaman, Hector (I am not a particularly mystical person but Hector has some super calming influence over animals - even my cat came right up to him and into his lap so I will call him shaman!) came to my home (all covid protocols in) and coaxed Snoop out of her shell and started treating her. Snoop has been getting acupuncture, laser, chiropractic adjustments and B12 shots all from Lori. Snoop looks forward to the visits and is always excited when they come. Also, Lori has trained me quite a bit and I do simple physical therapy exercises with Snoop throughout the week and give Snoop supplements. Honestly all easy stuff that takes about 20 minutes a day. Lori checks in in us regularly and we've now been working with her for about 6 weeks. And the results...Snoop is a different dog. She just started using her shoulder again and regaining some of the feeling in her leg although she still can't walk on it. But she is now full of energy and running around and navigating on three legs quite nicely. She's healthy and filled out and a puppy again. She also can pick up her leg more so she's not dragging the paw around all the time and I don't have to wrap in the house or backyard (only for walks or when we leave). Even if she doesn't regain full use of that leg/paw again, it's been totally worth it. Snoop won't need it amputated and the use of her shoulder is so great. She's also just so healthy and happy now. However, our fingers and crossed and we are still working on getting that paw working. Thanks Lori!
