Canine AcuTouch

Using gentle movements in a specific pattern (Canine Bowen), while working along the energy and nerve pathways (Acu Points), addressing pain and constriction in every muscle, tendon, and ligament of the body (Trigger Points), CANINE ACUTOUCH accesses all three therapies in a single touch.

Now, more than ever, veterinary providers are recognizing that complementary therapies are a valuable adjunct to traditional care - knowing that the best case scenario is to have a synergistic connection with your veterinarian, your holistic practitioner, and your best friend...Because, what could be better than a PACK like that!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DOES CANINE ACUTOUCH WORK?

Canine AcuTouch (C.A.T.) works holistically to balance the nervous system and strengthen the immune system. So C.A.T. addresses conditions related to pain response, stress, emotional issues, inflammation, recovery time, and a host of others.

CAN C.A.T. REPLACE VETERINARY CARE?

C.A.T. is the perfect companion to veterinary care, but should never be used in place of it. Your dog’s best quality of life is achieved with his “team” of veterinary and holistic practitioners.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A C.A.T. SESSION?

It takes about 30-45 minutes for a C.A.T. session. Your dog receives a series of very gentle touches across soft tissue. A 2-minute wait period is allowed between moves, so the brain can interpret the request for change, sending new “memory” back to the origin of pain and trauma.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH C.A.T. ?

C.A.T. is safe, gentle, and rehabilitative - with no side effects. For these reasons, C.A.T. is a great choice as a first course of action.

Client Testimonials

Rugby had floating knee caps that popped out when he ran. He could only walk for 15 minutes and walked with a hunch to his back end. After Canine AcuTouch, Rugby runs like the wind! With monthly maintenance sessions, he can hop up on the couch and his knees do not pop out. -Brenda B.

Lizzie had an accident at the groomers. After a few days, she was dragging her back end. I brought her in, and in 3 sessions she was walking normally! After the 5th session, Lizzie is back to her old self! She jumps up for her treats on her hind legs! -Pat B.

I took Huey in for a catch in his neck. He would cry when he tried to turn or lift his head. After his Canine AcuTouch series, he does not cry or yelp anymore! He can move his head all around, and his sitter says he smiles all the time now! We are so happy! - -Loren S.

Canine AcuTouch Packages

The Growing Season

This package focuses on enhancing the immune system (vital to a puppy’s digestive health) as well as strengthening the muscles, tendons, and ligaments for resiliency at play. Overanxious pups will benefit, too.

The Golden Years

Back, hip, and knee issues are among the common ailments of your senior best friend. Arthritis, dysplasia, and other inflammatory conditions are addressed in this package - as well as instilling a renewed sense of energy.

What Lies Beneath

Does your dog experience fear, stress, thunderstorm phobia, or separation anxiety? These conditions are deeply seated in his neurological memory. This package addresses the source of these issues at their core.

Keeping Fido Fit

Is your dog already active, healthy, and fit? Great - Let’s keep her that way! Maintaining flexibility, joint health, and correct alignment keeps your healthy dog fit for life. This package encourages many good years with your bestie.

The Healer Within

Just like humans, canines have a natural ability to self-heal. However, when an injury or surgery happens, this ability is compromised. This package stimulates and accelerates the healing process from within.
