If you have an older dog, you’re likely looking for any solution to help them combat the discomfort of aging and arthritis. In addition to providing anti-inflammatory medications and supplements, some vets have become specialized in acupuncture. The idea is that the needles stimulate the central nervous system to promote healing and activate natural pain killers inside the body. It’s not a cure, but it’s an excellent modality to use in concert with more traditional treatments. Locally, Whiskers and Paws Animal Hospital is passionate about combining holistic care with their other services. Dr. Carrie Ellis will get on the ground with your pup during acupuncture treatment, placing the needles and explaining the process. For most animals, it’s a supremely relaxing experience and can have dramatic results (it was life-changing for my dog with a degenerative nerve condition). In general, Whiskers and Paws tries to make a trip to the vet as relaxing as possible for an animal; they’re fear-free certified and have separate waiting areas for dogs and cats. whiskersandpawshospital.com.
