A Gentle Healing Solution
When it comes to pet pain management and chronic health conditions, we want to offer as many treatment options as possible for your furry friend. At Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital, we have partnered with a pet acupuncture specialist to bring this ancient healing technique to our facility.
Ancient Tradition, Modern Solution
During pet acupuncture, the acupuncturist inserts tiny, sterile needles into specific areas of your pet. Your companion’s body responds by releasing endorphins. Their activated nervous system will improve blood circulation and enhance tissue oxygenation. This natural response has been shown to improve health issues in pets, enhancing their overall wellness.
Pet acupuncture can help pets suffering from:
And many more health conditions! If you are interested in whether pet acupuncture may benefit your fur baby, call us.
What to Expect: Pet Acupuncture Sessions
Acupuncture is usually well-tolerated by pets, who get to relax during their appointments. Depending on your pet’s needs, the sessions typically last 20 minutes to an hour. Your furry friend may exhibit signs of moderate soreness after a pet acupuncture session, but they should feel better in one or two days.
As a gentle reminder, while acupuncture can help your cat or dog, it is not a one-and-done treatment. Your veterinarian at Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital and our acupuncturist partner will work with you to create a treatment plan that will maximize the health benefits and lead to ongoing improvement. Sessions must be booked in advance, so our helpful staff will ensure your pet gets on the schedule according to their treatment plan.
