Pet acupuncture – alternative medicine for your dog and cat

Sometimes, allopathy doesn’t seem to have all the answers to our health concerns and this is when alternative medicine steps into the picture. As we are gravitating towards complementary therapies nowadays, why shouldn’t our pets try them, too?

So, if your best furry friend needs a gentle yet efficient treatment, pet acupuncture may be just right for them.

What is acupuncture and how does it work in pets?

Acupuncture is an ancient technique originating from traditional Chinese medicine which helps reduce pain, improve recovery rates and increase resistance to disease. It has been practised by the Eastern cultures for thousands of years and is still being used today worldwide.

With pet acupuncture, we place thin needles into specific areas (acupressure points) of the body. Most pets experience little or no pain at all (and some of them even fall asleep) as these sessions are usually very relaxing. Since each pet’s needs and conditions are different, an acupuncture treatment plan will vary. In most cases, your four-legged friend will begin to feel relief within the first few sessions.

Testimonials

John Pattrick

We love taking our girls to Ahmed and Jared. They are always so friendly and helpful. We were going to other vets, but the staff there were so cold and sometimes rude, but you never get this here.We stumbled onto Ahmed about 6 months ago when one of our dogs hurt her nail. It was a Saturday afternoon, we called his after hours number and within 10 minutes, he was there to help. That’s a sign that they really care.

I just wanted to say thank you to Ahmed & Jared from My Own Vet for the honesty, care & compassion that they’ve shown to my family & our cat Fonzie over the last couple of weeks, including whilst we were overseas on holiday. We made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Fonze last night but the guys from My Own Vet went above & beyond the call of duty to ensure that our furry friend had the best possible yet most cost-effective treatment & was comfortable right up until the end. Ahmed & Jared’s love of animals truly shines through & we’re incredibly lucky to have them serving our community. Thanks guys.

Dr Ahmed, as you know, over the last few months we have been dealing with our Gussy Boy having Lymphoma, and the compassion and love you have shown us and our boy through this difficult time have helped us deal with a very hard loss. You looked after Gus like he was your own, you welcomed him in like he was family, and he loved you for it. Your love for animals is above what I’ve ever seen from any vet in my life, you are truly a wonderful man Ahmed, thank you for caring so much and making a tough time a little less painful and being there when we needed you.

Thank you so much for looking after him, we truly appreciate everything you have done for us and Gus. Jared, you also took Gus on as your own, its hard not to, right? Every time I spoke to you, your compassion was so soothing. He was your buddy for a couple of weeks and Gus absolutely loved going there because you guys made him part of your family. Thank you. I can’t thank you both enough for all you have done for us, Gussy Boy was a true star, and his personality rubbed off on anyone who knew him. Thank you once again

We’ve seen a few vets since having Thor these last 6 months and these guys are by far the BEST! He’s quite a handful and a half in new situations but Ahmed and Jarred have been wonderfully patient with him. They TOOK THE TIME that nobody else did to make him comfortable and trust them. Take your pet to see these guys, they do free nail trims and you’ll get a chance to see exactly what I mean! They are wonderful!
