Pet Acupuncture

Veterinary Acupuncture in Richmond Hill, NY

At Lefferts Animal Hospital, we’re pleased to offer veterinary acupuncture—a safe, gentle, and effective way to relieve pain and promote healing in pets. This ancient practice has been adapted for veterinary use and is often used alongside traditional treatments for a holistic approach to care.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture involves placing ultra-fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, release endorphins, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. It’s used to treat a wide variety of conditions.

What It Can Treat

• Chronic pain (arthritis, hip dysplasia)
• Neurological disorders
• Post-operative recovery
• Kidney disease
• Nausea and digestive issues
• Stress and anxiety

What to Expect

Most pets tolerate acupuncture very well, and some even fall asleep during their sessions. Treatments are customized to your pet’s condition and response, and no sedation is required.
