The Power of Acupuncture in Pet Healing


Acupuncture isn’t just for humans—it’s also an effective tool in modern veterinary medicine. At Pet Method Animal Hospital, we offer acupuncture therapy as part of our integrative care approach to help pets heal naturally and improve their quality of life.
This ancient practice works by inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, increase circulation, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals. While it may sound simple, the effects can be powerful—especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Many of our patients benefit from acupuncture for chronic conditions such as arthritis, intervertebral disc disease, and hip dysplasia. It can also be used to manage pain after surgery, improve mobility in aging pets, and ease anxiety or digestive problems. Because it’s non-invasive and doesn’t involve medication, acupuncture is particularly useful for pets who may be sensitive to drugs or already on multiple prescriptions.
Sessions at Pet Method are conducted in a calm, Fear Free environment. Most pets tolerate the treatment extremely well—and many even relax or fall asleep during sessions. Treatments are typically 20–30 minutes long, and while some pets experience noticeable improvement after one visit, others benefit most from a series of treatments.
Acupuncture is rarely a standalone solution. At Pet Method, we pair it with conventional treatments or other holistic therapies like laser therapy or nutrition counseling to support full-body healing. Every plan is personalized based on your pet’s condition, age, and health goals.
If your pet struggles with chronic pain, anxiety, or mobility issues, acupuncture might be the supportive therapy they need.
