VIDEO: Vets that do acupuncture on your pets

More people are turning to acupuncture as an alternative treatment for their beloved pets, says Geoff Power 

Suzanne Kelly’s first acupuncture client was a dog named Joe. The Dalmatian’s nails had become so badly worn and bloodied that the dog needed to wear special paw-boots.

“He’d had disc surgery in his neck,” explains the Cork vet. “And he’d problems with his knee ligaments which meant he couldn’t walk two or three steps without falling down. His nails were all scuffed because of problems with his movement.”
