Canine Acupuncture Gaining Popularity
Acupuncture is becoming a more and more popular treatment in the western world for both humans and dogs alike. From pain and arthritis to digestive and allergy issues, acupuncture can be a gentle way to treat your pooch with health problems. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese form of medicine that involves inserting thin needles into the dog’s body at different points to stimulate healing.
Jeanie Kraft, a licensed acupuncturist in Massachusetts, discovered the many benefits for animals and actually turned her practice into a place for pets calling it Four Paws Acupuncture. She even makes house calls for those four-legged friends in need. Holistic Veterinarians around the globe are turning to this alternative medicine after seeing how it can help improve emotional, psychological and physical ailments. It is nice to see another option out there to help keep their little tails wagging.
