Alternative medicine for pets is growing in popularity due to more widely reported success. Paralysis in dogs can be reversed with acupuncture. Agility Dogs with torn cruciate ligaments and dogs with severe back pain can return to normal function without surgery in most cases. Cancer is treatable with traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and skin issues are curable without the use of steroids.

Many veterinarians are applying an integrative approach to their practices. In combination with Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, this approach has seen great success for kidney disease, cancer, seizures and skin issues. With the use of prolotherapy/platelet-rich plasma, acupuncture, chiropractic techniques, and homeopathy, dogs are now able to live a more pain free lifestyle. A combination approach offers the safest and widest variety of options.
