Ancient technique, modern comfort
Veterinary acupuncture uses hair thin needles placed at specific points to encourage the body’s natural pain relieving and anti inflammatory responses. Many pets become visibly relaxed during their sessions, and some even doze off.
Provided at home by a veterinarian with advanced training in small animal acupuncture, this gentle therapy pairs beautifully with palliative care and may help reduce reliance on medication.
What acupuncture can help with
A gentle option when medication alone is not providing enough relief or when a lighter approach may be helpful.
Acupuncture — now available two ways.
In-home acupuncture
Your veterinarian comes directly to your home, where your pet is most relaxed. Sessions happen in familiar surroundings with no travel stress — ideal for seniors who find car rides difficult or who simply do better in their own space.
A good fit when:
- Pets who are anxious away from home
- Senior or mobility-limited dogs and cats
- Families preferring a calm, private setting
- Pets already receiving in-home palliative care
Canine Wellness Center acupuncture
For dogs enrolled in the Canine Wellness Center Social Club, acupuncture can be incorporated into their regular Social Club day—no extra trip or separate appointment needed. Your dog receives treatment in a familiar environment they already know and enjoy.
A good fit when:
- Your dog is enrolled in the Canine Wellness Center Social Club
- You’d like to combine acupuncture with your dog’s regular Social Club day
- Your dog is comfortable in the familiar Canine Wellness Center environment
- An additional in-home appointment is difficult to fit into your schedule
