Quick information
About VCA Mission San Jose Animal Hospital
VCA Mission San Jose Animal Hospital is a veterinary hospital in San Jose, CA that lists acupuncture, integrative care and pain management for dogs and cats.
VCA Mission San Jose Animal Hospital is part of the national VCA hospital network, offering veterinary acupuncture alongside a full menu of general practice services. The hospital follows VCA's system-wide integrative medicine approach — where acupuncture is positioned as a complementary modality that should be performed by a licensed veterinarian who has completed formal training.
VCA's clinical guidance on acupuncture notes that needling may be combined with acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, or laser stimulation for non-needle acupuncture alternatives depending on the patient's condition and tolerance. The network also documents that acupuncture has shown positive clinical results in both animals and humans across a range of conditions.
Important note: A full street address was not available in our research, and the hospital may be located in Fremont rather than within San Jose city limits.
