I have been providing massage and bodywork for dogs, cats and other companion animals in the Chicago-Milwaukee area since 1998.

I also offer practitioner training for animal massage therapists, and provide instruction to pet owners.

  Bruce is a wonderful teacher and massage therapist. He has infinite patience, and his gentle nature reaches inside the heart and soul of each dog he touches. I can't say enough good things about this kind man. Dogs who are hurting and scared learn to trust him and look forward to his massage therapy by lying down and relaxing to his touch. I recommend Bruce Breganzer very highly!

  Bruce was amazing with, not only my cat he came to treat, but with the others, some of which were very afraid of strangers, but came out to be near him as he treated my cat, Holstein. And yes Holstein improved from his injured back after Bruce's treatment. A truely gentle soul he is.

  I was referred to Bruce in 2002 by a friend of mine and upon her referral, Bruce started working with my 2 rottweilers and he worked with them until they were seniors. I truly attribute his work to their full life and longevity. Sara was diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia when she was 2. Bruce began workin on her when she was 4. As a result she remained energetic and active; running fence lines, chasing and playing with her counterpart, Titan, until she turned 7 and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. At the same time of her diagnosis, Titan, who was 6, was diagnosed with a terminal pulmonary diseased caused by a fungus. I knew Bruce's talent and skills worked wonders for Sara's joints and muscles, so I asked him how he felt about treating Titan's symptoms. I was amazed at the results. The work Bruce did not only brought relaxation to Titan, allowing him to breath easier, his work loosened and broke up many of the nodules in Titan's lungs that cause him breathing difficulty. While both of my dogs were given 4 - 6 weeks to live after their diagnosis, I am proud to say that Titan lived 2 years and Sara lived 3-1/2 years after their expected life expenctancy. If it weren't for Bruce's work, I would not have had the time with them that I had and their quality of life would not have allowed for all their vitality and comfort.
  
  I am involved in Rottweiler rescue and over the years, he has also worked on several of my foster dogs. One case was Rhet Butler, a senior boy that I took in when he was in the advanced stages of squamouscell carcinoma cancer. My vet gave him just a few weeks to live . . . but Rhet Bulter blessed me with 9-1/2 months. Another case was Sampson, a 5 years old Rottweiler boy that came in unable to sit down because of a severe hip deformity. Bruce's work with this boy was an absolute miracle. After 2 - 3 sessions with Sampson, he was able to sit down, lie down and get back up on his own without assistance. Today, Sampson is a happy boy living with his forever family.
  
  Bruce has an amazing gift. His talents touch the lives of the animals he works with and the positive affects he has are amazing. His heart is in it for the animals and the affect he has on them is truly. Call him . . . your pets will thank you!
