At Pajaro Valley Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer acupuncture for dogs and cats. Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that can help pets feel and move better.

 

Your pet’s treatment is guided by Dr. McKay, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA), and can be paired with Chinese herbal medicine for a well-rounded approach to care.

​

How Acupuncture Can Help

 

Acupuncture can support pets dealing with a wide range of health concerns, including:

​

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Chronic pain

• Mobility issues

• Recovery after surgery

• Digestive and gut issues

• And many other medical conditions

​

Every pet is different. That’s why Dr. McKay starts with a thorough exam to choose the treatment that best fits your pet’s needs.
