Quick information
About Acupunctureforyourdog
Acupunctureforyourdog is a veterinary practice in New York, NY (NYC area) that lists acupuncture, cold laser therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, integrative care and pain management for dogs and cats.
Acupunctureforyourdog is a TCVM-focused veterinary practice in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, led by Dr. Tracy Akner. The practice uses Traditional Chinese Medicine to help pets whose chronic conditions have not been adequately resolved through Western medicine alone.
According to the practice, Dr. Akner is IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society) certified — one of the highest credentials in veterinary acupuncture. Her clinical philosophy centers on helping patients achieve optimal health through a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, food therapy, and cold laser therapy, working in parallel with the pet's existing veterinary care.
This is a specialized practice rather than a general hospital.
Because this is a specialty practice with limited appointment capacity, we recommend calling well in advance to schedule. Appointment availability may be tighter than a general practice.
