Acupressure seems like a kinder, gentler form of acupuncture....while I've
known a fair number of people who have tried acupuncture with some success
including a friend who totally stopped smoking after five acupuncture sessions
(he had a pack a day habit for about twenty years), acupressure just seems
like a kind of focused massage.
As for the veterinary use for either method, I've found little but anecdotal
evidence out there for either acupuncture Or acupressure. I have a good friend
who works for a pet food and supply chain and he told me about something called
the Thundershirt....a kind of snug vest for dogs....the garment applies gentle
pressure at various points on your pooch's torso and the effect is supposed to
relieve anxiety and help with stress. I don't know anyone who actually has used
a Thundershirt for their dog (evidently the garment is not sold at either
Costco or Target)....so I looked at YouTube...here's what I
found...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrWCxI9tLTE&feature=relmfu
Does anyone know anything about either acupuncture/pressure for dogs or about
the Thundershirt...
Thanks,
Al
