Acupuncture for Pets
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-honored medical technique that supports your pet’s natural ability to heal and rebalance. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points, often paired with gentle electrical or heat stimulation, to activate the nervous system and restore the body’s internal regulation.
This process promotes improved circulation, energy flow, and emotional balance. It’s a powerful, integrative tool that enhances overall well-being, not just for pain, but for a wide range of chronic and acute conditions.
Conditions proven to benefit from acupuncture include:
- Arthritis, hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, soft tissue injuries
- Seizures, nerve injuries, paralysis, or weakness
- Vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease
- Urinary incontinence, kidney function support
- Cancer- pain management, appetite stimulation, nausea reduction
What does this mean for you and your pet?
We know how difficult it is to watch your pet experience any pain. Acupuncture is one way to help your pets feel better, longer. If your pet is dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or a long-term condition, acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free option to help them feel better and thrive. It’s a proven method to relieve discomfort, support healing, and improve overall quality of life.
Many pet owners notice positive changes in energy, mood, and comfort after just a few sessions. Acupuncture can be used independently or alongside traditional veterinary medicine to provide a more holistic approach to care.
Will it hurt my pet?
Not at all. Most pets tolerate acupuncture extremely well. The needles are incredibly thin, much finer than those used for vaccines or injections, and many pets become relaxed or sleepy during treatment. Our Fear Free Certified team ensures every visit is calm, gentle, and tailored to your pet’s comfort.
