Alternative treatments such as Acupuncture, chinese herbal remedies and massage for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, and any other pets, in your own home

Acupuncture helps soreness and stiffness and can assist your pet’s mobility.

Rae offers a mobile animal practice for pets and farm animals; providing acupuncture and associated Chinese therapies to patients in the Southern Highlands and the greater metropolitan area of Sydney.

By the use of various forms of treatment: the application of needles to traditional acupuncture points, acupressure, massage therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition advice and even philosophy, Rae strives to create an environment which enhances the health and wellbeing of her patients.

The Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Chinese Therapies and Massage Therapy offered by Rae treats a vast range of animal conditions and ailments.

Rae takes a holistic approach to the treatment of each and every one of her patients. This means that, prior to developing a patient specific therapeutic plan, Rae investigates the physical, mental and emotional components of each patient within that patient’s environment.

In many cases Rae will incorporate other Chinese therapies, along with acupuncture, into her treatment plans.

In your own home

Being committed to her patients and to her craft, Rae believes that the best possible outcome for her patients can only be achieved if the animals are treated in their own homes.

Old Dogs

March 25, 2010

When I was a kid my parents used to listen to a song extolling the virtues   of  old dogs and children and watermelon wine. I have to say, I never saw the appeal. As a small person it seemed that old dogs weren’t much fun to play with and always seemed to smell bad, other kids where tolerable but nothing special and watermelon wine just sounded gross!

Some  decades  later I have to say my thoughts have changed somewhat.  I still think (most)  kids are tolerable but I find they aren’t much fun to play with and they often smell bad and after a great deal of close up exposure I have  developed a tremendous appreciation of  old dogs. In fact most of my favourite patients are old dogs. They seem patient and wise and generally don’t seem to stress too much when they forget what they came into the room for. They take their aches and pains in their stride and even when they do get a bit snappy or grumpy it is usually well directed. I think we could learn a lot from them…. and for those of you who might be wondering, I still think watermelon wine sounds gross!!
