Flow Canine Wellness

A mobile canine massage practice based in West Toronto, Flow Canine Wellness was founded in 2016 by Heather Johnston, a certified small animal massage practitioner. Sessions take place in the client's home, and the service covers dogs dealing with arthritis, hip dysplasia, ACL injuries, anxiety, age-related mobility changes or palliative care. Three program types are described: maintenance, performance and recovery massage. New clients begin with a free phone or email consultation, followed by a roughly 75-minute assessment that includes health history, gait analysis, range-of-motion checks and hands-on assessment; follow-up sessions run about 60 minutes. Assessment visits are listed at $125 and follow-ups at $100. The practice works alongside veterinary care, welcomes direct contact with a dog's veterinarian, and notes that some pet insurance wellness benefits may reimburse therapeutic massage when a veterinarian recommends it.
