BOOKING NOW Hello!

I am Ingrid Zaleski, a licensed veterinarian with five years of clinical experience caring for small animals. I have a passion for holistic healing and animal well-being. I offer veterinary acupuncture as part of my mobile practice, providing compassionate care to help pets live more comfortable, balanced lives. My journey began at UC Davis, where I earned my degree in Animal Science. I continued my education at Western University of Health Sciences, where I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). While in veterinary school, I discovered a deep interest in integrative medicine and pursued my certification in veterinary acupuncture through CHI University. Today, I bring acupuncture directly to patients, working alongside primary care teams to support their patients with natural, evidence-based treatments that complement traditional care. Whether managing chronic pain, mobility issues, or other conditions, my goal is to enhance quality of life for each animal I treat.

📅 Schedule Update

Just a heads-up to my wonderful clients! I will be unavailable Monday, October 5 through Thursday, October 8.

I will be opening appointments on Friday, October 9 for patients who need their acupuncture and/or laser treatments that week. 🐾🌿

If your pet will be due for treatment around that time, I recommend scheduling sooner rather than later to make sure you’re able to get the time slot that works best for you.

Thank you for planning ahead and for trusting me with your pets’ care! 🤎

The cutest little beagle patient 🐾💛

Yesterday, this sweet boy received laser therapy and electroacupuncture to help support his recovery from a CCL injury. These therapies can be a wonderful part of a multimodal treatment plan to help with pain, inflammation, circulation, and mobility.

My favorite part is when they get so relaxed during treatment that they fall asleep. I always take the nap as a compliment. 🥹💤

He was such a good patient, and seriously… how cute is that face?

Sweet Marlin came to see me after suffering a soft tissue injury a few weeks ago. His primary veterinarian had already started him on pain medication, and he also received two cryotherapy treatments during the first week after his injury (those treatments were not provided by me).

I then saw him once a week for three weeks for Class IV laser therapy while he remained on restricted activity. I’m happy to report he’s now feeling great and is ready to get back to all of life’s adventures! 🐾

So how does laser therapy help? Class IV laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that pe*****te deep into the tissues. The light energy is absorbed by the cells, helping to increase cellular energy (ATP production), improve circulation, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and accelerate tissue repair. By supporting the body’s natural healing process, laser therapy can often help patients recover more comfortably and efficiently.

Every patient and injury is different, so treatment plans are tailored to each pet’s needs. It’s always rewarding to see them get back to doing what they love! 💙

When Mera and Blue’s owner decided to bring them to Orange County, I made a hotel visit so they could enjoy a little treatment during their trip. 🐾✨

Mera received laser therapy and acupuncture to support her back and hips. It was Blue’s first time receiving laser therapy, and he was so relaxed that he took a snooze on his back while I treated his hind legs. 💙

One of my favorite parts of mobile veterinary care is being able to bring comfort and pain relief to pets wherever they are—even while traveling! .mera

✨ This cool guy is getting therapeutic laser treatment to help support healing after an injury ✨

Therapeutic laser (photobiomodulation) is a gentle, non-invasive way to help the body heal faster and feel better.

💡 Benefits of laser therapy:
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Speeds up tissue healing and repair
• Improves circulation to the injured area
• Helps decrease swelling
• Can improve mobility and comfort
• Completely non-invasive and well tolerated by most pets

Most pets find treatments relaxing—and some even fall asleep during their session 😌

If your pet is dealing with an injury, arthritis, or post-surgical healing, laser therapy can be a great addition to their care plan.

📩 Message me to see if it’s a good fit for your pet!

This sweet kitty is receiving electroacupuncture to help with pain, mobility, and overall healing. Tiny needles + gentle stimulation = improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and a calmer nervous system.

Many pets become so relaxed they fall asleep during treatment 😌

Malibu enjoying her acupuncture session with her emotional support brother, Wh***ey, right by her side. 💛 (Video clip from a previous session.)

She was so relaxed that she even took a little cat nap during treatment! Malibu has come a long way since her first appointment. In the beginning, her sessions had to be very short while she got used to the needles, but with patience and consistency she has learned to relax and now even seems to enjoy her acupuncture time.

Malibu receives acupuncture to help manage vestibular disease and balance issues, and it has been wonderful to see her progress with each visit. Having Wh***ey there for moral support definitely makes the experience even better.

Sterling is one handsome boy who has been working hard on his recovery after an agility incident. Like many athletic dogs, he loves to move and play, so getting him comfortable during treatment was an important first step.

When Sterling first started acupuncture, he wasn’t quite sure what to think. But with a little patience and gentle care, he has learned that acupuncture time is actually relaxation time. Now he settles right in and often takes a nap during his sessions. 💙

Along with acupuncture, Sterling is also receiving therapeutic laser therapy to help reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and keep him feeling his best as he recovers.

It’s always such a joy to watch patients go from unsure to completely relaxed and comfortable. Sterling is doing wonderfully, and we’re cheering him on as he continues healing and getting back to the activities he loves!
