Reiki Eases Chronic Pain in 100% of Dogs, Study Finds

Have you ever felt helpless watching your animal when they’re in pain, like limping, scratching, pacing, or whining?

You’re not alone.

One of the hardest parts of being a pet parent is seeing them suffer and not knowing how to help.

That’s why a new scientific study on distant Animal Reiki is such important news.

The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA) journal recently published a clinical study looking at the effects of distant Reiki on the quality of life and well-being of dogs.

The results?
100% of the dogs who received distant Reiki over a 6-week period showed improvement in their pain levels.

Even more remarkable: 70% of those dogs experienced “excellent” or “moderate” pain relief. [If you’re curious, READ Study Here].

This study is exciting news because it provides scientific evidence, not just personal stories, that distant Reiki helps reduce chronic pain in dogs.

💜 If you feel Reiki can help your animal family become less stressed and experience less pain, consider a Distant Reiki Session.

Samantha Rose benefits from distant Reiki.

For over 15 years, I’ve seen the positive effects of distant Reiki. The shifts can be especially profound when animals receive ongoing sessions.

Take Samantha Rose, who is an anxious, reactive dog with severe food and allergy issues that leave her uncomfortable in her skin. Her weekly distant Reiki sessions have helped calm her nervous system, and her skin is improving. And she is less reactive. Her mom, Sharon, says they’re both doing better because of Reiki.

Then there’s Rex Harrison, a gentle Great Pyrenees living with chronic pain from torn ligaments in his hind legs. With weekly Reiki, Rex is visibly more relaxed and moves with greater ease and joy. (Plus, his person feels less worried.)

Stories like Samantha Rose’s and Rex’s reflect what science is starting to confirm: Distant Reiki can ease pain and support well-being in our animal companions.

🙏 What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that supports balance in body, mind, and spirit. It helps activate the body’s natural ability to relax, restore, and heal itself. It’s gentle and can do no harm.

➡️ How Distant Reiki Works

Distant Reiki for animals is just as effective as in-person sessions. In most cases, even more so. It’s because your animal stays in the comfort of home that they’re able to relax fully, without the stress of travel or the worry of being touched if they’re in pain.

That deep relaxation allows the nervous system to settle. And it’s in that state of calm where healing can begin.

🌸 Why Distant Reiki Helps Relieve Pain and Stress

Distant Reiki allows your animal to receive healing energy while staying in the comfort of home, with no travel, disruption, or stress. Just rest in their favorite spot.

Distant Reiki is gentle, intuitive, and always led by the animal’s comfort level. Reiki knows and flows where it’s needed most; whether to soothe chronic pain, calm the nervous system, or support emotional healing.

And it always works alongside your existing veterinary care and never against it.

A Distant Reiki session offers your animal:

✅ Relief from stress and physical discomfort
✅ Calming of the nervous system
✅ Energetic support for healing and wellness
✅ No travel or routine disruption
✅ Always gentle, never harmful, and complements all veterinary care

A distant Reiki session offers your animal family a safe, natural way to feel better holistically: physically, emotionally, energetically.
