🐾 Do you know just how effective acupuncture is for our dogs and cats?

In answering one listener question I dive into the placebo effect in both humans and animals, shedding light on the importance of understanding what the evidence says, or doesn't say.

And it's not just acupuncture. Understanding the intricacies of alternative treatments and their impact on our pets' well-being is crucial for making informed decisions as pet parents.

We dive into the multimodal approach to pet care, incorporating proven therapies in all different areas of your pet's life. By optimizing treatment strategies and embracing a holistic approach, we can enhance our pets' long-term comfort and overall well-being.

The key learning from this episode is that as responsible pet parents, it's essential to critically evaluate the treatments we consider for our pets and prioritize evidence-based care.
