🥳🎆 Happy New Year from Plains Animal Wellness! 🐱🐶🐴

And just like that, the holidays are over. Now that we are in 2025, let's make life for your furry friend even better than last year. Here are just a few ways acupuncture can be beneficial to your pet:

1. Natural pain relief by triggering the body's innate endorphins and anti-inflammatories
2. Improve healing by stimulating blood flow
3. Muscle relaxation which helps with pain, stiffness, and mobility issues
4. Improve digestive function
5. Enhance immune function which helps with disease resistance and overall wellness
⭐️Bonus: No negative side effects (unlike some OTC or prescription drugs) and safe to use with other drugs!⭐️

Plus who doesn't love to be all warm and cozy in their home getting treated for back pain like Tito (pictured here)!

Message, text or email us today for limited availability in January 2025!

Merry Christmas from the Plains Animal Wellness family. We hope you are all spending a day doing what you love with the people and animals you love. In Pogue’s case, he relaxes under the tree 🌲 because in his mind, he’s a present 🎁

Better late than never, right? Plains Animal Wellness is wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving, even if it is a day late and a turkey short! Hope you're stuffing your face and snuggling with your favorite furry friends and family, like Cooper and Ramsey here. Sometimes you just need a little moral support to get through an electroacupuncture session. No judgment! 🤣🦃 ❤️ 🐶 💉

🌍💚 Happy World Mental Health Day! Just like us, our pets can experience stress and anxiety, and acupuncture can be a fantastic way to support their mental well-being. 🐾✨

Acupuncture helps release endorphins and promotes relaxation, making it an excellent tool for managing anxiety and behavioral issues in pets. When our furry friends feel good, it has a positive impact on our own mental health too!

Let’s celebrate the bond we share with our pets by ensuring they’re happy and healthy. Consider exploring acupuncture as a gentle, holistic option to boost their mood. Because happy pets truly do make happy people! 💖🐶🐱

🐾✨ Did you know that acupuncture can be a powerful complementary treatment for dogs battling cancer? 🌟 This ancient practice not only helps manage pain but can also improve overall well-being and quality of life for our furry friends... like Shortstack (pictured here!)

Research shows that acupuncture can assist with symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, and fatigue, which are often associated with cancer and its treatments. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture promotes healing and can even enhance the effectiveness of traditional treatments and boosting their natural immune systems!

If your dog is facing cancer, consider adding acupuncture to their current routine... ask me how! It could be a wonderful addition to their care plan! Let’s give our pups the comfort and support they deserve during their journey. 💖🐶

When the vet comes to your house 🏡 to perform acupuncture, it's raining ⛈⛈, and you experience the ultimate relaxation... that's the recipe for an epic afternoon nap. 😴

Pictured here: Roux thoroughly enjoying her electroacupuncture in the comfort of her own bed!! No restraint required 🙃

We love to see the immediate results and can't wait to help your pet! 🐴🐶🐱

From race horses, to race... dogs! Well, retired ones, anyway. Cooper here is a retired racing Greyhound with lower back pain and hindend weakness. It is getting more difficult for him to hold up his very muscular physique, but don't worry... we are here to help!

Cooper laid on his own couch to enjoy his electroacupuncture session this past week. Happy to report, he is already feeling better! Although his racing days are behind him, it's obvious his pampering days are not. See you again soon, Coop!

We were lucky enough to travel to Virginia earlier this week to receive additional training in equine acupuncture. This gorgeous gal enjoyed her morning session after her race track workout. In a few days, she will be ready for her next big race! It was a beautiful morning of fall weather and a plethora of horses 🐴

Over two days, we worked on 18 equine friends! We treated all types of lamenesses (both obvious and more subtle), preventive care to help horses that experience high exercise load (like Vow here), and aging changes in our more geriatric horses. It was a whirlwind but it got us SO invigorated to provide for the equine community here in Alabama. Book your appointment today at www.plainsanimalwellness.com or text us at 3342095119

Who needs a spa day when you have needles? (Can you spot them?)

Rocky, the cutest boy around, gets monthly treatments for his sore hips so he can continue to participate in all of his sporting events and we get to indulge in some quality time. He's living proof that acupuncture is not just for our older friends!

Chip says "Sometimes you just have to take all your clothes off to get comfortably acupunctured!" 🤣 (Don't worry, his little shoes stayed on the whole time)

🌟 New Pet Spotlight 🌟
Chip, a 14-year-old Schnauzer, suffers from a variety of Issues including diabetes, cardiac issues, arthritis, seizures, and general aging changes. We were able to help Chip feel better within minutes! He was a sweet old man and I look forward to many more visits with Chip 💕!

One of my favorite parts of my job (besides loving on these babies... peep the smooch 😘 between me and Duke!) is owners informing me how much BETTER their pets feel almost immediately after their very first round of acupuncture. 💉

Meet Duke. He's a Doberman recently diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (a common heart condition in this breed). They tend to have decreased appetite and energy, lose muscle mass, etc. as the disease progresses quickly in most cases. Duke's owner told me that the evening and morning after his very first acupuncture session, he ate his entire meal with gusto and has felt much better since that dry needling session. We were able to use points to stimulate appetite, boost energy, relieve pain, and improve heart function. We will be back to treat him next week to help aid in his quality of life for as long as possible.

Another happy boy getting treated in the comfort of his own home! Look at that smile on Karsten’s face. Karsten is being treated for general aging changes (weakness in rear end, slow to get up, anxiety that worsens at night.). So glad to be a part of a treatment plan that will get Karsten some relief and longevity.

Sweet Windsor wants to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸

This 14 year old Cavalier is suffering from a back issue that we are treating with multiple varieties of acupuncture (dry needling, electroacupuncture pictured here) and herbal medication in addition to more traditional pain medication. His owner is doing a great job of getting him relief without surgery which would be risky in Windsor’s case. We know it’s working because on just his second visit what was once a dog only able to use three of his legs, came running to greet me at the door!

Let me know if you have a pet that you think might benefit from integrative medicine — would be glad to give more information! ❤️

Fara and I have one thing in common... neck pain! I understand firsthand what it's like to try to be an athlete with cervical pain... no fun. Fara is a pro at acupuncture treatments and she enjoyed every aspect from start to finish (as you can tell by the "smiles" on our faces).

Working with Fara and her mom Anna Martin was a pleasure and I can't wait for them to return in the fall for more sessions!

05/12/2024

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there to humans and fur babies alike! We hope you have a wonderful day spent with the ones you love. 🧡💙

Patient spotlight: Meet Monkey! He is a 6 year old Westphalian gelding who suffers from being back sore. His owner, Lydia, is willing to do anything she can to get him some relief! Believe it or not, he was very needle-shy in the beginning of the treatment and had his head so high I had to get a stool to reach. However, the effects of well-placed needles even the most headstrong horse friends can't resist!😁

You can see after we got our treatment going, he completely relaxed for the entirety of the treatment including electroacupuncture (see in comments!). When we re-scanned his sore areas after the needles were removed, he was no longer sore anywhere along his back. He was even standing more normally in the stall after our session. The effects seen by his owner were immediate. I look forward to working with Monkey and his mom, Lydia again soon.
