What Is Pet Acupuncture?

Pet acupuncture involves the placement of thin, sterile needles at specific points in the body to stimulate natural healing processes. This treatment helps reduce pain, improve circulation, relax muscles, and support nerve function.

Our veterinarians are trained in safe and gentle acupuncture techniques for pets and will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your pet’s condition, response, and individual needs. Whether used on its own or alongside conventional medicine, veterinary acupuncture can play a meaningful role in your pet’s overall care plan.

What to Expect

Acupuncture is typically well tolerated — even by nervous or elderly pets. Most sessions last 15–30 minutes and may include:

Targeted needle placement at meridian points

Gentle handling in a calming environment

Discussion of progress after each session

Regular reassessments to monitor response

Your pet may begin to show signs of improvement after just a few treatments, with maximum benefit often seen over time.

Why Acupuncture Matters

Veterinary acupuncture is particularly beneficial for:

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Back injuries and mobility issues
  • Chronic pain management
  • Neurological conditions
  • Post-surgical healing support

By integrating acupuncture into a broader treatment plan, we help pets feel better without over-reliance on medication.
