Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine

At the Animal Hospital of Dunedin, we integrate Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine with Western veterinary practices to support the best clinical outcomes in our patients.

Although these services have been used in China for thousands of years, they are relatively new to the veterinary field in the United States.

There is often the misconception that the terms Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture can be used interchangeably. In truth, there are four branches that make up Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine: acupuncture, food therapy, Tui-na, and herbal medicine.

The four branches of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine include:

1. Acupuncture
2. Food Therapy
3. Tui-na
4. Herbal Medicine
