3. Pet Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates specific points beneath the skin
by the insertion of acupuncture needles. This process
restores the balance of the body's energy. Scientifically,
acupuncture works by stimulation of precise points on the
surface of the body, resulting in the release of the body's
own cortisones, endorphins and infection fighting
compounds resulting in relief of symptoms as well as
treatment of the cause.

4. Pet Acupuncture
Acupuncture is most commonly used for treating:
Musculoskeletal Disease
Hip Dysplasia

5. Pet Dental Care
Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease) is the most common
disease occurring in dogs and cats.
Learn more here.

6. Pet Dental Care
Cause: Infection resulting from allowing soft plaque and calculus to build up on
the tooth surface.
Effects: Pet owners tend to notice bad breath in their pets, but this is the least of
our problems. First, the gums become inflamed and painful. Then the bone
supporting the tooth becomes infected causing bone loss and loose teeth. If more
than 50% of the bone supporting the tooth is lost then the tooth must be
extracted. The bacteria causing periodontal disease can also lead to disease in
the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Prevention: If the tooth surfaces are kept clean, then the gums will be healthy as
well. Homecare such as brushing, Dentacetic Wipes, chewing activities, and
special diets will all help prevent dental disease. Professional dental cleaning and
oral exam on a regular basis is mandatory to maintain good oral health. The
frequency of professional dental cleanings will vary depending on the breed, age
of the pet, and the amount of homecare that is provided.

7. Pet Ultrasounds
Ultrasound is used to diagnose diseases of the liver, kidney, heart and many
other organs. It is also used for pregnancy diagnosis. It is a non-invasive
technology that allows us to actually see inside the body. However, unlike x-
rays, there is no radiation exposure to the patient. As the name implies,
ultrasound uses very high frequency sound waves to form a picture of the
internal organs similar to sonar. Compared to x-rays, which basically give an
outline of the internal organs and bones, ultrasound allows us to actually see
the internal architecture and structure of an internal organ.
