Animal Acupuncture is a branch of
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine
(TCVM). Acupuncture has been practiced
for over 2,000 years. The Chinese
discovered that animals have similar
meridians and reflex-points to humans.
These meridians are the fields in which Qi
energy flows. The meridians are connected
with internal organs, muscular and joint
structures, and the nervous system.
Acupuncture points, which lie on the
meridians, are areas of the skin at which
the flow of Qi can be affected. When an
animal is unhealthy, there is an imbalance
or interference with Qi flow. The
acupuncturist manipulates the animal’s Qi
by stimulating specific acupuncture points,
which alleviates the blockage or imbalance.

Dr. Sheradan Harvey is trained in both
conventional western veterinary medicine
and traditional chinese veterinary medicine.
She believes that integration of western and
eastern medicine is crucial in order to give
our pets the best veterinary care possible.
It matters not whether
medicine is old or new, as
long as it brings about a cure.
It matters not whether
theories are eastern or
western as long as they
prove to be true.
