The technique of acupuncture has been known for thousands of years and, with a Western scientific background, can be used to help treat a variety of conditions from musculoskeletal pain to wound healing, urinary problems and skin disorders.
Clinics will be run by vet Iain Cope at our Castle Street (Dover) surgery every Tuesday and Bewsbury Cross (Whitfield) branch every Thursday. Iain has been trained by the Association of British Veterinary Acupuncturists and will initially offer the
treatment for cats and dogs. An initial session will last approximately 40 minutes, with subsequent sessions of around 20 minutes depending on your pet's response to treatment.
If you have any questions or are interested in acupuncture therapy for your pet, please contact Iain at the surgery.
Please note that we can only treat our own registered clients or clients referred to us by a veterinary surgeon - if you are interested in acupuncture and your own vet does not offer it, talk to them about a referral appointment.
