Pet Acupuncture in Osseo, MN

At Douglas Animal Hospital, we think that every pet deserves a life full of unbounded energy, comfort, and joy.

Gentle, Drug-Free Pet Acupuncture

Veterinary acupuncture is a safe, time-tested therapy that can relieve pain and improve mobility – often alongside conventional treatment. At Douglas Animal Hospital, acupuncture is performed by Dr. Heather Douglas, DVM, MBA, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA), so your pet is in experienced, credentialed hands right here in Osseo.

How Acupuncture Can Help Your Pet

By placing very fine needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and encourages the release of endorphins – your pet’s own natural painkillers. It’s a gentle, drug-free approach that many pets find relaxing. Acupuncture can be especially helpful for:

Arthritis and chronic joint pain
Hip problems and age-related mobility issues in senior pets
Recovery after surgery
Nerve-related conditions and chronic pain
Stress and anxiety

What to Expect at an Acupuncture Session

Sessions are calm and low-stress, and most pets settle in comfortably. The number of visits depends on your pet’s condition – some see benefits quickly, while chronic issues may call for a series of sessions. After an initial consultation, Dr. Douglas will recommend a plan tailored to your pet’s needs and comfort.
