BaiHui Dog Acupuncture Point
"Hundred Meetings" 百会The canine BaiHui point usually refers to the lumbosacral point on the lower back, not the head. In some veterinary contexts the same name may be used differently, so this page focuses on the dog lumbosacral BaiHui unless otherwise noted.

What BaiHui Means
In dogs, BaiHui usually refers to the lumbosacral point on the lower back. Some veterinary references may also use the term in different ways, which is why this page keeps the dog-lower-back definition front and center.
Therapeutic Acupressure
For home care, dog owners may use gentle, steady pressure over the lumbosacral depression. Needling and electroacupuncture should only be performed by a qualified veterinary acupuncturist.
Advanced Needling & Stimulation
Veterinary acupuncturists may pair BaiHui with electroacupuncture or complementary canine acupoints when treating lumbosacral weakness and mobility concerns.
