No, massage therapy and bodywork regulation in Wisconsin only applies to humans. However if the massage therapy is deemed to be the practice of veterinary medicine, a license may be needed as a veterinarian or the massage therapy may need to be performed under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian Please contact the Wisconsin Veterinary Examining Board for further information.
