First Consultation
It is essential to uncover the root causes of your pet's problems, therefore, the first treatment takes 60 minutes. The doctor will conduct an extensive diagnostic procedure, including an interview & examination of your pet that takes between 20 to 30 minutes. We will be discussing your pet’s medical concerns, the medical history and present lifestyle patterns, after which a non-invasive physical examination is conducted. The actual acupuncture (“needling”) time is 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, Dr Susanna will be explaining your pet’s TCVM diagnosis and the suggested subsequent treatment plan.
