It’s that time of year again—time to make resolutions for the New Year. As you contemplate your own goals, why not take a few moments to consider what might be best for your pet’s health and well-being? At Magnolia Springs Veterinary Center in Mount Pleasant, WI, we recommend focusing on vaccinations, acupuncture, and integrative therapies like herbals, laser therapy, and veterinary spinal manipulation to keep your beloved companion animals in tip-top shape.
Wellness and Vaccinations
Vaccinations are key to keeping your pet healthy. Vaccines stimulate an animal’s immune system so that it can recognize and fight off dangerous diseases more easily. Core vaccines are recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) as necessary components of a pet’s regular healthcare routine. Ask us which core vaccines we recommend for your particular pet. We also offer vaccine titers for vaccines, which can help determine a pet’s immunity.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be a therapeutic way to keep your pet feeling their best in the coming year. During an acupuncture session, small needles are inserted into specific points along the body. This helps stimulate circulation and balance energy flow throughout the body. Acupuncture has been found to reduce or eliminate pain in pets with arthritis or other chronic pain conditions and is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine.
Additional Integrative Therapies
Consider incorporating some integrative therapies into your pet’s plan for 2023! Laser therapy uses red light waves to reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis or injury; it safely penetrates deep into tissues without damaging them in any way. Herbals can provide natural support for various physical ailments like muscle soreness or skin conditions; ask us about what herbs might work best for your pet’s individual needs. Finally, veterinary spinal manipulation can help restore balance throughout the body while reducing joint pain associated with arthritis or injury; this is especially beneficial if you have an older dog who may be more prone to aches and pains than younger animals!
At Magnolia Springs Veterinary Center in Mount Pleasant, WI we believe that all pets deserve the highest quality of care available—and that includes preventive measures such s vaccinations, acupuncture treatments, and integrative therapies such as laser therapy and herbals. For 2023—and beyond—we encourage our clients to focus on their pet’s health by investing in these treatments designed to keep their furry friends happy and healthy all year long!
