❓Have you wondered how to get started with acupuncture for your pet? 🤔

At Wholistic Paws, our initial consultation is usually 1.5 hours long, and follow up visits usually last about an hour.

During that time, we will go over your pet’s history, medications, and progress as well as do any treatments necessary for that day.

In general, treatments are recommended every 7-14 days for a total of 4-8 treatments and then tapered down based on your pet’s needs.

For pets with chronic conditions (such as arthritis), maintenance treatments are recommended every 2-8 weeks. 💜

🌟 Patient Spotlight! 🌟

Todd is a rockstar who has been coming to Wholistic Paws since shortly after having spinal surgery a few years ago. Since then, Todd has made huge strides thanks to acupuncture, rehabilitation, massage, laser therapy, and an amazing mom who knows exactly how to make the peanut butter last for an entire appointment. 🤩

❓ Did you know that effective rehabilitation begins with massage therapy and bodywork? Before strengthening can occur, body tissues must be healthy and ready.

Some of the essential benefits of massage therapy and bodywork include:
❤️ Pain Relief: Massage therapy effectively reduces pain by releasing tension in the muscles and soft tissues. This treatment is especially effective for individuals with chronic pain or those recovering from an injury.
🧡 Improved Circulation: Massage therapy promotes blood flow and lymphatic circulation, which helps to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body’s tissues. This increased circulation is especially beneficial when treating injuries or conditions that affect blood flow.
💛 Decreased Muscle Tension: Massage therapy helps to relax tense muscles and improve flexibility, which can result in improved range of motion and reduced muscle soreness.
💚 Stress Reduction: Massage therapy is a highly effective way to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and improving mental health.
💙 Improved Mobility: By releasing tension and increasing flexibility, massage therapy leads to improved mobility and physical performance. This can be especially important for athletes or individuals who need to maintain a high level of physical activity.

Massage therapy and bodywork should be the first step for achieving effective rehabilitation.

🌸 Easter is just around the corner...

It's estimated that 80% of pet rabbits bought as pets at Easter are abandoned a few weeks later. Most pet rabbits bought at Easter don't make it to their first birthday. They either fall ill from neglect or are dumped in the 'wild' by people who think they can fend for themselves. 🐣🐰😔

Find out more excellent reasons why rabbits (or any other live animal) are a terrible gift for Easter:
