Help Establish Animal Massage Licensing in W.A. State
Hi,
I’m soliciting your help with something. We need the help of anyone living in the state of Washington.
If you’re willing to fill in a few blanks on a letter template and send it to your legislators, you will help in the survival of Unsinkable Dogs, and in the livelihoods of many people ready to sit for this exam.
If we can get this passed, your dog will be able to receive massage from a licensed practitioner if you desire.
The proposal currently under discussion would be a new budget proviso in the supplemental budget. The proviso would likely reference the professional certification fees needed to administer the program by the Dept. of Health.
There is no opposition to the fees – at least none that has surfaced in the past two years. The fees are simply being authorized by the legislature (as required by I-960) so that the program which was established by law back in 2007, can be implemented by the department. This will allow businesses to open up here in WA and keep a number of folks employed.
I’ve included the links below to these PDF templates which will make it easy for you to follow-through. You’ll need to print-out a form, fill it out, and mail it in (or scan it and email it). I know we are all busy these days and it shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes and . . . you can send the following link to any friends that might be interested too. The link to get here for the PDF forms is: www.UnsinkableDogs.com/animal-massage/

Thanks in advance for taking a bit of time to do this. It means a lot to me, and to many others with an interest in the health of our dogs and . . . the livelihoods of our friends.
Best regards,
Joyce
