I was blown away today when I reached out explaining how Manzo woke up with a limp. Manzo can't take usual pain meds due to his history of a sensitive stomach so we lean on acupuncture and laser therapy to keep him as comfortable as possible.
They were able to work me in to their busy schedule to get Manzo some much needed relief. If you've been to Acupetvet then you know, they treat you like family. I'm so grateful for them everyday and especially today. Thank you for providing such excellent care to my sweet senior boy.
I was initially so impressed by the set-up, which is clearly designed with cat comfort in mind. Cats have a separate entrance and the treatment room has a couch and ottoman with a window overlooking a bird feeder, no scary exam tables. My cat is extremely skittish, she does not like strangers or being away from home. Dr. Wilson is so mindful of letting kitty set the pace during our visits. Dr. Wilson even does the treatments from the opened top of the carrier so that my cat is able to stay inside the whole time. She stays still and seems very calm every time; she doesn't react to the needles at all!
What worked for us: two months of weekly acupuncture, laser therapy, easy daily home exercises and Gabapentin for pain management. I also placed pet steps around my home to help her access all of her favorite high places without jumping.
She went from having a severe limp and a lot of hesitation with movement to being able to jump, play and gallop around my home again. I truly didn't think it would be possible for her to ever run again. We now see Dr. Wilson monthly for maintenance acupuncture, which seems to help my cat's pre-existing arthritis in her back, in addition to her knee.
I had no idea what to expect from acupuncture and laser therapy for cats, but I have been shocked at how much it accomplished. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson and the Acupetvet team.
I would highly recommend Lynn, Nicole and Dr. Wilson. Also, they are accommodating with dogs that might be a bit more timid.
Her discomfort and strength has improved notably especially in her hind legs after TPLO surgery on both. Thank you for taking such good care of us!
Long live Samme, thanks to Dr. Wilson!
Thank you so much!
I have been taking my oldest dog Zion, an almost 14 year old chow mix to her since last August. Zion has transitioned to once a month acupuncture sessions and he has improved so much! He has hind end weakness and some tendon issues and I cannot thank Dr.Wilson enough for bringing the pep back to his step! He LOVES his appointments, it’s super cute 🥰
For the initial consultation I brought my 13 year old lab mix as well but didn’t feel he needed anything quite yet. Well...a new consistent limp from arthritis in his front end means off to Dr. Wilson we go!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
We Treat Your Pet Like They Were Our Own
Rehabilitation Therapy
Enhance your pet’s strength, balance, and weight-bearing abilities with canine rehabilitation therapy —similar to the benefits humans gain from physical therapy. This specialized approach is particularly beneficial for pets dealing with orthopedic injuries, neurological issues, and chronic conditions like arthritis.
Specializing in Geriatric Care: At Acupetvet, we have a special love for senior pets. Our goal is to get to know you and your companion — learning about your pet’s lifestyle, comfort level, and your goals for their care.
We focus on pain management, mobility support, and relaxation therapies to help older pets enjoy their golden years in comfort. From gentle massage and acupuncture to soothing laser and PEMF therapy, every visit feels more like a spa day than a clinic appointment.
Our calm, home-like environment allows your pet to relax and receive compassionate care designed to ease pain, improve movement, and enhance quality of life.
Ensuring Your Pet’s Comfort: We prioritize both the physical and emotional well-being of your pet; accommodating breaks as necessary for your pet’s ease during our sessions.
Surgery or Orthopedic/ Neurological Conditions:
Whether your pet is preparing for or recovering from surgery — or managing mobility challenges from orthopedic, neurological, or age-related conditions — our rehabilitation services are tailored to their unique needs.
Even if surgery isn’t part of your pet’s treatment plan, rehabilitation can play a vital role in improving quality of life, slowing disease progression, and maintaining independence.
At Acupetvet, we focus on improving strength, balance, and coordination while helping pets regain confidence in their movement. Through a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapies, and advanced modalities, we aim to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and support long-term comfort and function.

Feline Pain Management & Rehabilitation
Feline pain management focuses on identifying, addressing, and relieving pain in cats, with a particular emphasis on senior cats prone to chronic conditions such as arthritis, degenerative joint disease, and other age-related issues. This specialized care aims to enhance a cat’s overall quality of life by reducing physical discomfort and improving their ability to move, play, and engage comfortably in daily activities. Dr. Tasha Wilson provides a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the sources of pain and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each cat’s unique needs.
Veterinary Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture is a treatment technique that requires the insertion of fine needles into the dog or cat’s body at specified points, called acupuncture points, where nerves and blood vessels converge. These points are located in sites called meridians, which are energy channels throughout the animal’s body.
The inserted needles guide vital energy along the meridians. Placed in these identified points, the needles not only enhance blood circulation, which improves healing ability, but also stimulates the nervous system and increases the release of anti-inflammatory and pain relieving substances to reduce a dog or cat’s discomfort.
The benefits of acupuncture include (but are not limited to):
- Relieving digestive ailments
- Relieving respiratory Illness
- Aiding in neurological problems such as sciatica, nerve based pain pathologies
- Relieving back, knee, neck or shoulder pain
- Improved recovery post surgery
Hydrotherapy
An underwater treadmill offers relief for a wide variety of muscular and skeletal conditions in your dog. With arthritis, when your dog uses an underwater treadmill, the water gives extra support that takes pressure off joints. This allows older or more arthritic dogs to exercise with less pain and discomfort. Hydrotherapy is also a fantastic and gentle way to strengthen your dogs muscles before and after surgery.
Overweight dogs, or ones that have chronic joint and muscle issues, do better with the water’s support. This can help dogs get back into better shape in a way that is safe and gentle on their bodies.
Weight Loss + Management
Are you having a hard time deciding what diet to choose and if it is the right one for your pet’s needs? Has your pet been diagnosed with a disease and you want to find the best diet and supplements for your pet? Have you been struggling to get your pet’s weight off?
We believe in the importance of looking at a patient as a whole. Your pet’s nutrition and healthy weight management are crucial to his/her overall health and longevity.
