Last week I told the story of an unemployed woman, barely surviving, who walked into a pet shop and overheard another customer say she gets $50 massages for her pooch.
The hard-luck woman bristled at such indulgences in Los Angeles, where some people wait for a bus to the 99 Cents Only store while others cruise around in Bentley convertibles, dreaming up new ways to spend money.

I did a little research and the answer is yes. There's even a canine massage school in Ojai.
WagVille, in Glassell Park, offers this description of the massage experience on its website:
