We perform a full chiropractic check on each patient, correcting any problems discovered, so that skeletal alignment and muscle tone are optimised, prior to acupuncture treatment. We use LASER stimulation for some patients, in preference to needling. Dogs are well able to demonstrate which suits them best. In many cases, we use both. We also use Moxibustion or Electroacupuncture, as needed. Below are approx. diagrammatic representations of the 12 paired and 2 unpaired meridians in the dog (acc. Chris Day).

The faithful dog suffers a large number of diseases that are
similar to those in mankind. Dogs are very willing and cooperative patients, who
generally respond positively to acupuncture treatment. Most dogs actively enjoy their needling.
Some simply tolerate it and extremely few appear to be too sensitive to needles
to permit a relaxed treatment. AVMC policy is that we do not sedate
dogs for acupuncture. Sedation is
toxic and can alter the body's perception, interpretation and processing of
the treatment. It will also mask any responses, observation of which feedback
from the patient is vital to ongoing treatment programmes. If a dog objects to
what is offered, we take it that there should be another way to treat the
patient or that the point selection is not suitable for that individual. Other
points can be chosen and there are other methods of point stimulation. Dogs
appear to be very aware of their needs and there is usually a reason for them
objecting to a particular needle. We trust the patient's judgement and we allow
the patient a say in treatment. Nonetheless, objection is extremely rare and
even some so-called 'difficult' dogs respond cooperatively to what's offered,
while most dogs appear frankly to enjoy it.
