One of the most pressing concerns: is it okay\u00a0to have\u00a0a dog or cat present during the Zeel Massage?<\/p>\n<h3>Pets welcome<\/h3>\n<p>The good news: if you\u2019re worried about your pup or kitten disrupting your Zeel Massage, don\u2019t be. We\u00a0surveyed our Zeel Massage Therapists (ZMTs) and discovered that a whopping 93% don\u2019t mind at all if\u00a0you have a furry friend around during your massage. Said one therapist, \u201cMy experience is that pets love to\u00a0be around their owners during massage. They will lie close to the table, on the couch, or under the\u00a0table. Once they see that their owner is OK, they fall asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Curious and curiouser<\/h3>\n<p>Some pets, however are, shall we say, more proactive. While some dogs and cats prefer to watch, others\u00a0like to check things out more closely. Of Zeel Massage Therapists we surveyed, 29% said that a dog had\u00a0hopped onto the massage table during a session, while 36% said they\u2019d experienced a particularly\u00a0curious feline.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all customers mind. Another Zeel Massage Therapist shared, \u201cI mentioned it to the client, who was amused and\u00a0didn&#8217;t seem to mind. The cat wasn&#8217;t bothering me so I continued to work, and eventually the cat left the\u00a0table.&#8221; Other customers prefer to remove the pet, with or without the therapist\u2019s aid.<\/p>\n<h3>Advice on Zeel Massage in the presence of pets<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a pet in the house during your Zeel Massage, here are a few tips to make sure your massage\u00a0goes perfectly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know thy pet. Many dogs and cats are calm, but if yours is particularly energetic, you may wish\u00a0to keep your pet in a bedroom or other closed room during the massage.<\/li>\n<li>Add a note in the app when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/massage-on-demand\">booking your Zeel Massage<\/a> that you have pets at home. While almost all therapists\u00a0love animals, some are allergic.<\/li>\n<li>Provide a safe place for your therapist to put her oils and lotions \u2013 we hear that some dogs think\u00a0of massage oil as a snack!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Click the infographic to see full size, or visit us\u00a0on\u00a0<a title=\"Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/274297433532315523\/\">Pinterest<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/infographic-zeel-dog-pets-in-home-during-massage.png\" class=\"mfp-image\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14582\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14582 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/infographic-zeel-dog-pets-in-home-during-massage-318x1024.png\" alt=\"Infographic getting an in home massage when you have pets\" width=\"318\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Zeel, we\u2019re often asked a lot of questions from first-time customers, especially customers who\u2019ve never had an in-home massage before.
