Veterinary Acupuncture

At Gippsland Natural Veterinary, we offer veterinary acupuncture as part of a holistic and integrative approach to animal health care. Acupuncture is a gentle, evidence-informed therapy originating from Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, involving the placement of very fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing, improve circulation, reduce pain, and support the nervous system.

Please note: Dr Jacqui does not do surgery or sedations.

Many pets experience significant improvements in comfort, mobility, quality of life, and overall wellbeing through acupuncture, particularly when conventional treatment options may be limited or no longer providing adequate relief. Acupuncture can be used alongside mainstream veterinary medicine or as part of a broader natural therapy plan tailored to your animal’s individual needs.

Our goal is to support your pet with compassionate, personalised care that focuses not only on symptoms, but on their overall balance, comfort, and long-term health.
