The Best Petting Spots — With or Without the Automatic Massager

Every pet has their favorite places to be petted — the magical spots that instantly make them relax, purr, or wag their tail. Whether you’re using your hands or our Automatic Pet Massager, knowing where to pet your pet can help you build a stronger bond and keep them calm, happy, and stress-free.

Our massager works hands-free, but you can also pick it up and use it like a handheld petter, giving you the best of both worlds. Here’s your guide to the top petting spots your furry friend will love.

🐾 1. Under the Chin

This is one of the most comforting spots for both cats and dogs.
Using the massager here gives gentle, rhythmic pressure that helps relax the jaw and neck. Pets often tilt their heads up for more.

🐾 2. Behind the Ears

A universal favorite.
Slow circular motions behind the ears mimic natural grooming and help release tension. The massager’s soft rotating heads feel especially soothing here.

🐾 3. Along the Cheeks

Cats love cheek rubs because it’s where their scent glands are.
Glide the massager along the cheeks to create a calming, bonding sensation that feels natural and comforting.

🐾 4. Shoulders & Upper Back

Pets carry a lot of tension in their shoulders.
Hand-petting or using the massager in this area can loosen tight muscles and reduce stress, especially after playtime.

🐾 5. Along the Spine (Avoid Direct Pressure on Bones)

The upper and mid-back areas are great for longer, gentle strokes.
Let the massager glide along the fur — it’s soothing, relaxing, and perfect for winding down before bedtime.

🐾 6. Sides of the Body

The rib area is sensitive but comforting when massaged gently.
Light pressure from the massager gives pets a full-body relaxation effect they’ll love.

🐾 7. Base of the Tail

For many cats, this is a happy spot.
Use the massager gently here for quick bursts of pleasure and relaxation — you’ll see their tail start quivering in happiness.

⚠️ Where NOT to Use the Massager

To keep your pet safe, avoid these areas:

  • ❌ Stomach

  • ❌ Paws

  • ❌ Face or eyes

  • ❌ Any areas that seem sore or sensitive

💙 Auto or Manual — Your Pet Will Love It Either Way

Our Automatic Pet Massager gives your furry friend a relaxing, spa-like experience. But picking it up and using it to hand-pet your pet adds that personal touch they adore.

Whether hands-free or handheld, the goal is the same:
a happier, calmer, and more loved pet.
