Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate energy flow through meridians, relieving pain and improving health. This ancient practice treats chronic conditions, arthritis, and stress in pets and humans. Sessions include personalized herbal recommendations for enhanced results.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas address specific health needs using 2,000-year-old Chinese medicine principles. Treatments support digestion, immunity, and chronic disease management for pets and people without synthetic additives.
Laser Therapy
Low-energy laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation without needles. This non-invasive option improves circulation and mobility for pets with arthritis or post-surgical recovery needs.

Manual pressure on meridian points alleviates pain and stress in pets. Owners learn techniques to continue care at home, supporting long-term wellness between professional sessions.

My father used Four Paws Acupuncture for his dog so when my corgie needed help I called them. It worked so well! My dog loved her. Jeanie is Dr. Doolittle with needles! He loved the treatments and is walking so much better now. Thank you, Jeanie!

Our 8 yr old dog Sarge has hip dysplasia, arthritis and difficulty moving since the winter. Our vet recommended that we contact Jeanie at Four Paws Acupuncture. After three acupuncture sessions we began to notice an improvement in Sarge's walking and he seems much happier. And he loves Jeanie's special treats and pampering. Thank you!

Our 12 year old dog Bella suffers with arthritis and hip problems. We were so happy that Jeanie was able to come to our home to treat her. She took her time, explained what she was doing and also gave me excellent info on herbs and supplements to use for Bella. She not only did acupuncture but she used a laser and showed me how to do acupressure to help her through the week. Bella is still old, but now is walking much better and loves her acupuncture sessions. Thank you Jeanie!

At first I had my doubts that acupuncture could help my 7 year old Shepherd mix, Lucia. But after her third session we saw improvement in her walking and she seems happier. Jeannie is professional, always on time and honest. She has given us so much information on how we can help Lucia. I highly recommend her. Thank you!
