A gentle touch and a soothing rhythm can work wonders, not just for humans but for our furry companions as well. In an irresistibly cute Instagram video, a dog named Goldie experiences the almost hypnotic effect of an ear massage from her owner.

Shared by the Instagram account @bonnie_the_hb_vizsla, the video features Goldie receiving an ear massage from her owner. As the soothing motion continues, her eyes droop, her body relaxes, and she fully surrenders to the moment. The owner’s caption explains that Goldie is their fourth Vizsla and, like her predecessors, she absolutely adores having her ears massaged.

While the action might seem rough to some, she assures viewers that it’s not as harsh as it looks. The short hair of Vizslas accentuates every movement of their skin, making the massage appear more intense than it actually is. “She’s melting into this and falling asleep. Pure bliss!!” the owner wrote.

The owner also shared valuable insights about ear massages for dogs, explaining that they consulted their veterinarian to ensure they are safe. Their vet confirmed that ear massages are perfectly fine as long as the dog enjoys them and has no underlying ear infections. In addition, gently massaging a dog’s ears can help them become more comfortable with touch, “making vet visits less stressful.” By associating handling with relaxation, dogs may feel calmer during routine checkups and medical procedures.

However, she cautions that not every pup will appreciate this form of pampering. “Start slow and gentle,” she advises. As such, observing your dog’s reactions is key to ensuring they are at ease, as each pet has unique preferences and sensitivities. “You want a loose and relaxed pup, you know them best,” the caption reads.
