ACUPRESSURE …

… is a form of manual pressure to specific points on the body, to help create a therapeutic affect.

The following 6 Acupressure points in this guide can help you to relieve some of the symptoms of Arthritis for your dog

You can stimulate the Acupressure points with the spring loaded Acupressure device or use finger and thumb pressure. We recommend using the method that your dog is most comfortable with.
