I would try this for my dog with hip dysplasia if I had the money to do it every week.

I have heard people rant and rave about this treatment option, and I would love to try for my dog and myself. Both of us suffer from joint pain, and it would be nice to do something more natural than take pain pills every time it rains.

I briefly worked for a vet who offered acupuncture to her clients, and it did seem to make a real difference for their comfort. For dogs who need more than just drugs to help with mobility, it's a great option.

It's good to know this from someone who actually saw the positive effects. Sometimes you don't know for sure what to believe. I'm glad that is has helped some animals.

I also know someone online who had an arthritic corgi with EPI (enzyme pancreatic insufficiency I believe) who really benefited from acupuncture. Due to her other medical issues, medication was a more dangerous option, but the acupuncture really made her feel better.

Our local community actually has a Vet/Chiropractor/Accupuncture specialist. She pretty much specializes in race horse and is kept busy all the time.

I have seen even the most anxious and crazy dogs do well with this form of therapy. A few needles go in, and you see all the tension and nerves leave the body. I am not sure if I would do it for my own dog, but there are people who rant and rave about it.

I can see it if it really works. My dog would never lay still for it. Now for my cat who I don't think he would lay still but could benefit from it possibly in the future. I hope that he will not have to suffer through pain though.

Acupuncture has been around for along time and has been beneficial for humans, so why not give it a try for animals. I would use it with traditional medicine and careful monitoring at first and go from there.

Acupuncture has been used in horse vets practices for many years. My first horse Darcy had Nevicular disease and we treated it with acupuncture and it was very succesful.

If it is something that could help the animal then it is worth trying. There has been discussion on both sides of this issue. I have seen it work on people so I don't see why it wouldn't work for animals.

A fellow I know had acupuncture done on his horse when it went lame for some unknown reason. That was a few years ago, and the horse has seemed fine since. Hard to say whether that's the result of the treatment, or the lameness just resolved over time. I'm all for reasonable alternative remedies.

I think that it is important that we look at all types of treatment for both animals and humans. This could be less evasive for the animals and less costly over all. Haven't heard on anyone I know doing this yet.

Yeah - terrific. Dogs should get the same options as people. The price seems reasonable and the results are worth every penny. It's nice to see innovative people making life easier for our pets. No pain....what more could you want for a family member!

It sounds like a good idea. If it can't help relieve pain of the animals I am all for it. And it doesn't sound like it would be expensive at all. Worth looking in to for certain animals.

People should keep in mind that they can help their animals for less by doing massage and other therapy, too.
