About

Pet Acupuncture

Pets feel pain as acutely as their owners—and for some of the same reasons. Just as we try to improve our quality of life by managing or eliminating pain when we experience it, we also need to take steps to protect our beloved pets.

Cat and dog acupuncture is a drug-free alternative form of pain relief and has been used for thousands of years in China to treat a wide range of conditions in people and animals.

It promotes the body to heal itself and can be combined safely with other pain management techniques such as medications and supplements.
The Procedure

What It Involves

Cat and dog acupuncture involves inserting tiny, sterile needles into designated points on the body to stimulate the central nervous system and move the body’s energy, or QI. Blood circulation is enhanced, muscles are relaxed, and hormones (serotonin, dopamine, endorphins) are released, which then leads to pain relief. Acupuncture can also restore balance between organ systems for overall health.
