What to expect?
Performed by our pain specialist, this gentle, evidence-based treatment uses tiny needles to stimulate your dog’s natural pain-relief and healing processes. Sessions are calm, comfortable, and surprisingly well-tolerated. Many dogs visibly relax or even nap. Acupuncture works beautifully alongside other therapies to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support the nervous system.
