Canine acupuncture has been slowly and steadily getting more attention from the pet health experts and the pet owning community. This has followed today's trend in human medicine where there is significant focus on complementary and alternative medicine- acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, etc.
This is interesting because current practices in dog acupuncture follow the human acupuncture models-that is- most of the acupuncture points used in humans are found and used in dogs.
Dog acupuncture is one of the fastest growing pet care modality today. The interest in dog acupuncture and the general interest in pursuing alternative or complementary treatments in humans and animals- has been driving this method of treatment to higher levels by means of advanced training and the increase in the number of well trained practitioners.
Dog acupuncture techniques are adopted from human acupuncture. A rigorous acupuncture training program in the use of acupuncture techniques for dogs, cats and horses for licensed veterinarians all over the world is currently offered by the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. It looks like acupuncture for dogs is here to stay!
