Dr. Aleda Cheng D.V.M., Veterinarian/Veterinary Acupuncturist, American Animal Hospital joins the Doggie Chronicles to talk about acupuncture techniques and treatment for your pet.
Using a technique almost identical to human acupuncture, Dr. Cheng’s experiences have shown that dogs are often more receptive to the treatment because they do not have the same level of psychological blocks that humans might to the procedure. Dog acupuncture is generally most effective for muscular and skeletal issues such as arthritis or hip dysplasia but can be used for most common pet ailments. Dr. Cheng uses acupuncture and other holistic treatments in addition to traditional methods of treating her animal patients.
