Holistic Animal Clinic Acupuncture for your animal companions in a relaxing environment by Graham Quigley, L.Ac
This is holistic healthcare for your best friends. Welcome!

I’ve developed my style with the understanding that animals respond to this work when you take time to build trust. Hour-long followup treatments and 90-minute initial visits help with that, as does the hands-on work. It helps calm the animal so we can take the next step – acupuncture! Clients are often surprised to see how well their animals respond to the needles. We dim the lights, sit, and get

quiet. I often play relaxing music while the animals breathing changes, muscles let out little spasms of tension, and then hopefully they put their head down and relax. Sometimes this happens right away, and sometimes it takes time. Luckily, patience is one of my superpowers! This work is great for all things musculoskeletal – arthritis, IVDD, FCEs, hip dysplasia, post (and pre!) surgery, spinal paralysis, and an all-too-common one – neck & back spasms. Running a little current through the needles with electro-acupuncture can really benefit these dogs & cats too. Anxiety and aggression cases are challenging, but this work has something to offer animals with emotional problems. I’ve had several aggressive cats receive one session only to return home where the household dynamic is refreshed with fights no more. Anxious dogs start to drop their anxiety levels, and we discuss proven training methods for addressing this in treatment. Lots of digestive issues can be resolved with herbs, supplements, diet, and treatment. I use the best, Evergreen herbs and Standard Process supplements. Supporting animals who are receiving chemotherapy has proven super beneficial. Dermatological issues are tough, but traditional Chinese medicine has something to offer. I have a “Trauma Package” for serious cases that includes a 2-hour initial (or followup) treatment and two 90-minute treatments for the most serious cases like spinal paralysis, “hit by car”, etc. Hopefully your animal will never require this kind of care, but if they do, this plan gets a jumpstart at treating their condition. All of this work is beneficial when, and only when, clients have taken their animals to receive a thorough work up by a Veterinarian. We’ve got to rule out conditions that would benefit from a procedure or some much needed medication. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, it’s helpful to have a working western diagnosis. Your animal must be seeing a Veterinarian in order to get this kind of care. If your animal does not have a Vet and you need an evaluation, Dr. Frye, DVM of our “West End Animal Center” is available for a reasonable charge. Please let us know if you are needing this care, and the front desk can schedule an evaluation before their treatment. Feel free to call or email with questions or to schedule a session – 415.721.7494. Look forward to working with you!

I'll admit that I have a cush job! Especially w/ the new latex toppers. The clients and I rest on either side of larger dogs while they get their . Buckwheat pillows for the head & kapok pillows under the knees. When I'm here, a day doesn't pass where I'm not fortunate to have a I love 💕

Makalu came in with some significant urinary and bowel incontinence. Think small pools.... In we have a few of our own underlying diagnoses that would lead to a symptom like this. The kidney Qi not being "firm" is one of them and the formula to treat this pattern is Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan. We were able to resolve his incontinence with just a few treatments and successfully discharge him from care 👍 Holding to help calm him so his body can relax and he can receive his treatment. Thanks for trusting me buddy! Makalu's a rescue 💕

When your a and your person is a skilled teacher, you might find yourself in a Qi sandwich snoozing away while getting your session. That's Ub18, 21, 23, Gb34. Moving and harmonizing. When she comes in I get to serenade her by saying her name. "Har-mon-y!"

There's just enough space for me to lay down. Rio's getting his on, for his weak hind legs. He goes into a deep slumber and then breathes on his persons neck for like 50 minutes.

Summer is a lucky dog. Walking into my clinic was hard for her, she had to drag her hind legs behind. Fortunately she was saved by the "Chihuahua Angel"
