Discover the Benefits of Acupuncture for Dogs, Cats, Avians, and Exotics in Sunrise, FL

At Welleby Veterinary Hospital, we offer a unique approach to helping your pets find relief from various health issues through acupuncture for dogs, cats, avians, and exotics. Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, tracing back to ancient China. It focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow, known as “Qi,” through specific pathways, known as meridians. The result is a natural promotion of healing and overall well-being.

Pet acupuncture stimulates the body’s physiological responses, which can help with pain management, improve circulation, and encourage the production of beneficial neurotransmitters. Most pets find the treatment relaxing and tolerate it well.

After an acupuncture session, your pet may feel slightly sleepy, which is a common response. Occasionally, some pets might experience mild soreness or other temporary symptoms, but these usually resolve quickly.

Is Acupuncture the Right Choice for Your Pet?

While many cats, dogs, avians, and exotics benefit from acupuncture, some may take longer to adapt to the treatment. We strive to create a calm and comfortable environment at Welleby Veterinary Hospital to help your pet feel at ease during their sessions.

When Acupuncture May Not Be Suitable

Acupuncture might not be the best option for pets dealing with severe anxiety, active skin conditions, certain health issues, or those undergoing specific cancer treatments. Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet’s situation and determine if acupuncture is a good fit for their needs.
