Pet Acupuncture Works - Boston, MA

Pet Acupuncture Works (PAW) is an in-home acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine service in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston, Northern, and Northwest Suburbs. People are often surprised to hear that animals love acupuncture and believe it or not, sit still for it! Acupuncture is a safe technique that involves the insertion and stimulation of extremely thin needles into specific points on the body. There are over 300 acupuncture points that are situated on interconnected pathways, or channels, which extend from head to tail. We have also seen amazing results with our Chinses herbal medicine. Chinese herbs are an essential part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each formula is tailored to the specific needs of the pet following the initial evaluation and diagnosis. A formula is made up of two or more herbs, which are either roots, leaves, bark, flowers, fruits, or seeds. At PAW, we primarily use herbs in tablets and tinctures from the Kan Essentials product line, which was created by a licensed acupuncturist and veterinarian. This type of medicine complements acupuncture well and is usually administered to the pet twice a day. Our goal is to improve the health of your dog and cat, let us help you and your pet today!
