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):
Dr. Tasha Wilson, Owner of Acupetvet, is available for online consultations in Nutrition & Weight Management.

Online comprehensive educational consults for integrative care are also available. Sometimes our pet is diagnosed with a disease, and it is hard to comprehend what it all means – the diagnosis, the treatment, medications, and supplements.

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.
