Hi...here are a couple of great threads that discuss the legalities and ethics of animal massage, as well as, a listing of states and their "law" by IAAMB: Pet Massage Ethics/Laws and Legalities.

I always thought of it in breeding terms, so I am not sure how it gets over into massage, exactly.

By regulating a practice as animal husbandry, it can be performed by persons who are not veterinarians. Animal husbandry relates primarily to farming practices. Any practice defined as animal husbandry does not require a veterinarian to perform it. The horse owners in Florida have organized in support of legislation defining alternative and holistic practices for animals as animal husbandry. At present the veterinary board has defined these therapies as veterinary medicine.
