Acupressure is similar to acupuncture except instead of using needles the fingers are used to apply pressure to specific points along the meridian lines.  It has been used for thousands of years on both people and animals with great success.  As with acupuncture it can be used on dogs, cats, horses, and other animals to reduce pain, inflammation and to address many other health conditions.  It is gentle, noninvasive, and most animals tolerate it well.  It can be used alone as a proactive part of your wellness plan or as a complement to other modalities to address specific health concerns.

Acupressure is also a good choice for addressing behavioral issues in animals such as aggression, fear, and anxiety.  When done properly, it has a calming effect and when used regularly it can resolve many problems that otherwise do not have a cure.

Complementary or alternative medicine is a good choice for those who prefer to use natural means instead of medicines when applicable.
