How Does Pet Acupuncture Work?

Pet acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the animal's body. By stimulating these points, acupuncture may be able to help promote healing, reduce pain, and reduce stress.

The Potential Benefits of Pet Acupuncture

Pet acupuncture may be effective in managing a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic pain: Acupuncture can help alleviate pain associated with arthritis, hip dysplasia, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Gastrointestinal issues: Acupuncture may help regulate digestion, improve appetite, and reduce vomiting and diarrhea in pets with digestive problems by reducing the amount of stress the experience.
• Skin conditions: Acupuncture may be beneficial for pets with skin allergies, hot spots, and other dermatological issues.

Is Pet Acupuncture Safe?

Pet acupuncture is generally considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment when performed by a trained veterinarian. The needles used are sterile and very thin, causing minimal discomfort to the animal. Most pets relax during acupuncture sessions and some of them may even fall asleep.
