Supporting Comfort Through Acupuncture

Pet acupuncture has been practiced for centuries and continues to offer meaningful benefits for dogs and cats. By placing needles at specific points along the body, acupuncture helps improve circulation, support nerve function, and ease discomfort. Many pets appear calmer and more relaxed during their treatments, and sessions are generally well-tolerated—even for pets who are new to the experience.

Common Conditions Managed with Veterinary Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a gentle treatment that may be used alongside other therapies to support pets with chronic pain or illness. Common conditions we manage with acupuncture at Halo Pet Hospice include:

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Neurologic conditions such as seizures, nerve damage, and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)

  • Laryngeal paralysis, also known as GOLPP

  • Mobility issues related to aging or injury

  • Gastrointestinal concerns, including constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea

  • Respiratory conditions and allergies

  • Kidney and liver imbalances

  • Hormonal conditions, such as thyroid disorders and Cushing’s disease

  • Discomfort associated with cancer and palliative care

Acupuncture can also support pets in hospice care, helping improve their comfort and maintain their sense of ease during this stage of life.

What to Expect from Acupuncture Treatments

Each pet responds differently to acupuncture, and our approach is always tailored to meet their individual needs. Dr. Hawrysio will work to create a calm, peaceful environment so your pet can relax during treatment. Because Dr. Hawrysio is Fear Free Certified, she can ensure your pet’s comfort throughout their treatment. Some pets experience noticeable changes quickly, while others may benefit from a series of sessions over time.

When Acupuncture May Not Be Recommended

Although acupuncture is gentle and well-tolerated, it may not be suitable in every situation. Pets with high anxiety, certain skin conditions, or specific health concerns may not be ideal candidates. Our team will evaluate your pet’s health, lifestyle, and comfort level to help determine the right course of care.
