What is Pet Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat various ailments in animals. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

How Can Acupuncture Help Your Pet?

Pet acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis and hip dysplasia, as well as neurological disorders, like intervertebral disc disease. It can also be used to manage pain, speed up recovery after surgery, and improve overall quality of life in pets.

The Pet Acupuncture Process at Ryedale Vets

During a pet acupuncture session at Ryedale Vets, our experienced veterinarians will carefully assess your pet’s condition and create a customized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. The acupuncture needles are inserted into the acupuncture points and are typically left in place for a short period of time. Many pets find acupuncture to be a relaxing experience and may even fall asleep during treatment.
