How to Find Veterinary Acupuncture Clinics

Acupuncture is a medical practice that has been recognized by health organizations to heal illnesses or conditions. Not only is acupuncture performed on humans, but it is becoming more widely used to help animals as well. Finding a veterinary acupuncture clinic is a pretty simple process.

• Visit a search engine online and search for veterinary acupuncture clinics. Include the word “Certified” in the search to help you find professional clinics. Searches can be modified to help a person find clinics in their area by adding a city and state to the search.


• Find the local phone book and look under “Acupuncturists” or “Veterinarians” to find an acupuncturist that treats pets. Call the phone numbers listed and address any questions or concerns to decide which service to use. Try speaking with regular acupuncturists to see if they can treat animals as well as humans.


• Go to the local veterinary office, and speak with the doctor to see if they can recommend an acupuncturist. Doctors often network with each other.


• Talk to other pet owners to see if they know anything about pet acupuncture services. There may be a friend or family member who has had this treatment performed on one of their pets. They may be able to give you some background information and explain the experience.


• Look into the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture website. This site allows users to view a wealth of information about veterinary acupuncturists across the country. Acupuncturists who join this site must be certified.
