Is Acupuncture painful?
  
No.  The Acupuncture needle is very fine (1/5 of the needle that they use to draw your blood).  Most pets do not feel the needle and relaxes during their treatment. 

Is Acupuncture safe for my pet?
   Acupuncture has virtually no side effect and is considered one of the safest form of medical treatment when performed by a trained veterinarian.

How long is a treatment?
   Each treatment last around 20-40 min.

How often/ long is the treatment?
    It varies.  A simple sprain may respond after one treatment, while more chronic cases may take longer.  Most condition requires once a week, while some like paralysis may need at least 3 times a week.  A positive respond is typically seen after the first to third treatment and the maximum effect after 4-8 treatments.  Once that is achieved, sessions are tapered off.  Many pets with chronic condition may need treatment 2-4 times per year.
