At Bayside Animal Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves a life of comfort and well-being. That’s why we’re proud to offer an ancient practice with modern-day benefits—pet acupuncture. Imagine a refined healing technique that requires no medication, yet promises comprehensive relief. This is the reality of pet acupuncture, a service we’re thrilled to offer with the expert care of Dr. Kelsey Hansen, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncture Therapist.

Harnessing Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing

Pet acupuncture is a gateway to enhanced health, tapping into your pet’s natural healing pathways. This age-old art stimulates the central nervous system by gently inserting tiny acupuncture needles into specific points, triggering healing processes that can alleviate a wide range of conditions. It’s a holistic approach that goes hand in hand with traditional veterinary care, aiming to restore balance and promote overall well-being.

The Multifaceted Benefits of Acupuncture for Pets

The advantages of acupuncture therapy for animals are extensive, offering relief for a variety of ailments:

  • Chronic conditions such as arthritis can be eased and mobility improved, offering a better quality of life.
  • Acupuncture can support respiratory health, potentially improving breathing and lung function.
  • For pets experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort, acupuncture may promote smoother digestion and a healthier appetite.
  • Acupuncture can contribute to a decrease in inflammation and allergy symptoms.
  • Addressing musculoskeletal discomfort through acupuncture can result in a more active and joyous lifestyle.

Acupuncture therapy at Bayside Animal Hospital helps open a path to holistic well-being for your pets.
