Roger would love to be your hiking companion, walking buddy, and snuggle bug. He loves to cuddle up on the couch and lay on your chest. He is the sweetest boy with the best personality.

Time for acupuncture on one of my own, Princess Leia. She is still doing well after she had an FCE almost 2 years ago. Her left front leg is weaker than the others and she has a patella luxation in her right hind leg, which is why I still do acupuncture on her every 2-3 months for maintenance. I have also added laser therapy to her treatment plan as well. She definitely walks more confidently and with greater ease when she has these treatments. Our other dog, Dewey, is keeping her company and feeling what I like to call "referred acupuncture effects". Aramis, one of our cats, is supervising to ensure that the electrical acupuncture settings are correct. Acupuncture treatments are always a family affair ❤️🐾.

This is Goose. He is a playful, loveable goofy boy who always showers me with kisses at every appointment ❤️. I started doing acupuncture on him for dysplasia in his hip and a few injuries along the way. Please join me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday today 🐾🎉! His brother, Basil, is giving him cuddles and making sure he enjoys the day.

I am now offering laser therapy through MedcoVet. This laser uses a specific type of light, called photobiomodulation, to help reduce inflammation. It is a Class I laser so it can be administered by you at home using the treatment plan I prescribe in an app portal. This can help with a number of different ailments, including arthritis, dysplasia, back issues, and even wounds or skin conditions. Please contact me via phone or e-mail if you are interested in learning more. Pictured is one of my patients, Roxie, receiving laser therapy administered by her wonderful owner.

He is crate trained, does not bark, potties outside with minimal accidents, and enjoys his food. Harvey is a cuddle bug and loves to ride in the car. He is a cool dude who just goes with the flow and would make a great addition to your family!
