I don't know if acupuncture is the same for dogs as ppl, but I have had a lot of it myself over the years and there is a BIG difference in the effectiveness of it, according to which practitioner you use. There are plenty who think they just have to do a few weeks study and then they know it all (wrong!). If the acupuncturists who work with dogs are the same, then be careful before going ahead so you don't waste your money Michele. Personally, I'd defo want a personal recommendation and I also agree with Sarah about the glucosamine (helped one of my cats who had arthritis).
