Acupuncture for Dogs & Cats: Frequently Asked Questions

What is veterinary acupuncture?

Veterinary acupuncture is a gentle, holistic treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on your pet’s body. This helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and activate the body’s natural healing response. At Woodhaven Animal Health, we offer acupuncture for dogs and cats as part of our integrative approach to pet wellness.

How can acupuncture help my dog or cat?
Pet acupuncture can help with a wide range of conditions. It’s often used to:
  • Relieve pain from arthritis or hip dysplasia
  • Improve mobility and flexibility
  • Support recovery from injury or surgery
  • Calm anxiety and stress
  • Aid digestion and appetite
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Many pets experience improved comfort, energy, and overall well-being after just a few sessions.
Is acupuncture safe for pets?
Yes! Acupuncture for pets is very safe when performed by a trained veterinarian. The needles are extremely thin, sterile, and cause little to no discomfort. Most dogs and cats relax during treatment, and some even doze off!
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most pets tolerate acupuncture extremely well. Because the needles are much finer than those used for vaccinations, most dogs and cats don’t seem to feel them. Occasionally, a pet may react briefly when a needle is placed, but that sensation fades quickly.
How long does a pet acupuncture session take?
A typical acupuncture session for dogs and cats lasts 20–40 minutes. The length depends on your pet’s condition and comfort level. Our doctor will create a personalized treatment plan to fit your pet’s unique needs.
How many acupuncture treatments will my pet need?
Every pet is different. Some show improvement after one or two sessions, while others, especially those with chronic conditions, benefit from ongoing treatments. We will discuss what schedule makes the most sense for your pet.
Can acupuncture be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Acupuncture works beautifully alongside traditional veterinary medicine, laser therapy, and prescription medications. At Woodhaven Animal Health, we often use acupuncture as part of a comprehensive pain management and wellness plan.
What should I expect after my pet’s acupuncture treatment?

After a session, your dog or cat may feel sleepy, relaxed, or more energized. Improvements in comfort and mobility are often seen within 24–48 hours. Your veterinarian will guide you on what changes to look for as your pet responds to treatment.

Is acupuncture right for my pet?

If your dog or cat is struggling with chronic pain, arthritis, mobility issues, or stress-related conditions, acupuncture may be a great option. Schedule a consultation at Woodhaven Animal Health to learn more about how pet acupuncture can support your furry friend’s health and happiness.
