Wags Animal Hospital Expands Pet Care with Acupuncture Therapy and Chinese Herbal Treatments in Brickell Key

Brickell Key’s trusted veterinary provider, Wags Animal Hospital, has announced an exciting new offering for local pet owners: acupuncture therapy and Chinese herbal treatments for cats and dogs. Known for combining advanced Western diagnostics with personalized care, Wags now integrates holistic therapies to enhance the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions.

Leading this integrative approach is Dr. Ori Eizenberg Weinger, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. “Acupuncture therapy and Chinese herbs provide a safe, effective alternative to support pets with chronic and acute conditions. When combined with Western diagnostics, we offer a comprehensive and balanced approach to pet care,” said Dr. Weinger.

A Holistic Approach to Pet Health

Acupuncture therapy at Wags Animal Hospital provides versatile treatment options for a range of pet health issues. The practice uses various acupuncture techniques, including:

  • Dry Needling: The insertion of thin needles at specific points on the body.
  • Aquapuncture: Injection of sterile fluids at acupuncture points.
  • Electroacupuncture: Stimulation of acupuncture points using electrical currents.

These methods promote pain relief, nerve stimulation, immune regulation, and restore balance (homeostasis) in pets. Common conditions treated include arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, nerve issues, and chronic pain. The therapy is especially beneficial for older pets, offering relief from arthritis, boosting energy levels, and improving overall well-being.

Sessions are designed with comfort in mind. Extended appointment times allow dogs and cats to remain relaxed, ensuring a calm and stress-free experience.

The Power of Chinese Herbs

In addition to acupuncture, Wags Animal Hospital incorporates Chinese herbal treatments to complement traditional and alternative therapies. These herbs, used for centuries in both human and veterinary medicine, are known for their minimal side effects and gentle yet effective support for various health conditions. When paired with acupuncture, they work synergistically to enhance treatment outcomes.

“Doctors have many tools in their toolkit when treating pets. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are additional tools that allow us to better serve our patients,” added Dr. Weinger.

Combining Western and Eastern Medicine

Wags Animal Hospital emphasizes the importance of combining advanced Western diagnostics—such as X-rays and comprehensive blood work—with holistic therapies. This integrative approach ensures that pets receive the best possible care, tailored to their individual needs.

I am a conscientious, open minded, adaptable to new experiences and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance and Accountancy. Through my studies I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management and store management skills to my experience through my career.

Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgement or negative reactions, this is thanked to my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed. I cannot leave far my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma.
