Acupuncture
Veterinary medical acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin needles at specific points in the body to create a physiological response. By activating the central nervous system, acupuncture releases the body's natural painkillers (endorphins), hormones (cortisol) and neurotransmitters (serotonin), thereby affecting all systems of the body. Harnessing the body’s own ability to cure itself, acupuncture not only heals illnesses but also rebalances your pet’s emotions.
After treatment your pet will feel relaxed and energized.
Behavior
Veterinary behavioral medicine involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of psychological problems in pets. Vets have a detailed knowledge of behavior modifying medications which are often effective in treating fears, phobias and aggression. Through proper analysis, diagnosis and construction of a state-of-the-art treatment plan, owners discover how to effectively manage and modify the pet’s condition. Behavior consultation only on referral by your Vet.

taught us about sibling rivalry between our dogs and we could be the
"pack leaders" and to stop the fighting.
- Alexis, Dog Owner - Dr. Dodd put Dakota on a program of acupuncture and natural
medicines. At first a skeptic, I quickly saw a marked improvement in
Dakota’s ability to move without pain, and again join me for walks in
the mountains.
