🐾✨ Acupuncture for Animal Health ✨🐾
Did you know that acupuncture can be a game-changer for your pet’s health? This ancient technique, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is now recognized as a valuable integrative therapy in veterinary care. Here’s why! 👇

🌟 Holistic Healing with Acupuncture 🌟
Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny, painless needles into specific points on your pet’s body. These points lie along meridians, which are pathways believed to channel vital energy, or “Qi.” By stimulating these points, acupuncture can help balance the flow of energy, promote healing, and support the body’s natural ability to maintain wellness.

🌀 What are Meridians? 🌀
Meridians are like invisible highways within your pet’s body. They connect to different organs and tissues, allowing energy to circulate throughout. By targeting acupuncture points along these meridians, we can influence the body’s energy flow, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and even improve the function of internal organs. This holistic approach can be especially beneficial for conditions like arthritis, digestive disorders, allergies, and stress-related behaviors.

🐕🐈 Natural Pain Relief & Beyond 🐾
Acupuncture is great for managing chronic pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being. It’s a safe, drug-free option that can be combined with other treatments for the best possible outcomes. Many pets find the sessions relaxing—and often even fall asleep!

🎗️ October is Pet Cancer Prevention Month, and as an integrative veterinary oncologist, I’m here to share an important conversation around nutrition and its role in cancer prevention. 🐾

In today’s video, I’m diving into the relationship between carbohydrates and cancer in pets. 🥦🍚 You may not know this, but high-carb diets can sometimes fuel cancer cells—something that’s critical to consider when we think about our pets’ health.

However, it’s important to note that every pet is unique and should have an individualized approach to their diet, based on their specific history and health needs. 🩺✨ That’s why it’s so important to consult with your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet’s diet, especially when it comes to preventing or managing cancer.

🎥 Check out the full video to learn more, and remember: no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to nutrition. If you have questions or want to talk more about your pet’s specific needs, feel free to drop them in the comments or reach out to your vet.

Let’s work together to give our pets the best chance at a long, healthy life! 🙌🐶💕

🌈 Feed Your Pet the Rainbow! 🌱🐾

At Prism Integrative Veterinary Health, we believe in nourishing your pet with more than just a meal — we believe in the power of phytonutrients! 🌿✨ These natural compounds, found in vibrant, colorful foods, help to fight inflammation, support overall health, and may even have cancer-fighting properties. And just like us, our pets thrive on a diverse, nutrient-rich diet!

Why? Because the colors in nature are more than just beautiful — they are packed with benefits!

🔴 Red (peppers, pomegranate, apples): Known for their antioxidants that support heart health and reduce inflammation.

🟠 Orange (sweet potatoes, pumpkin, squash): Full of beta-carotene, which supports eye health and boosts immunity.

🟡 Yellow (bananas, yellow peppers, citrus): Packed with vitamin C to strengthen the immune system and keep skin healthy.

🟢 Green (leafy greens, broccoli): Rich in chlorophyll, which detoxifies and helps to support a healthy digestive system.

🔵🟣 Blue & Violet (blueberries, purple potatoes): Loaded with anthocyanins that help fight oxidative stress and keep your pet’s brain sharp.

🌱 Including a variety of these colorful foods in your pet’s meals helps provide a balanced, healthy diet that supports their immune system, skin, joints, digestion, and overall vitality. Whether you’re mixing in a little extra green or tossing in some bright berries, you’re not just feeding their belly — you’re fueling their health!

Start feeding your pet the rainbow today and watch them thrive! 🌈🐾

Cancer Prevention: Tip and Diagnostics to Consider

As an integrative veterinary oncologist, I believe that proactive care is essential in keeping our pets healthy! Here are 3 key tips to help ensure you are taking action in becoming your pets best advocate:

1️⃣ Annual Physical Exam: Regular check-ups are crucial! During an annual exam, veterinarians thoroughly assess your pet’s health by listening to the heart and lungs, examining the mouth and under the tongue, checking the ears, performing a full rectal exam, and palpating the belly for any abnormalities. These evaluations help us catch any changes early, allowing for timely intervention and better outcomes.

2️⃣ Complete Blood Panel: Don’t skip this step! A comprehensive blood panel—including a CBC, serum chemistry, and urinalysis—provides valuable insights into your pet’s health. Additional tests like a thyroid panel, vitamin D test, C-reactive protein, or haptoglobin (for cats) can help us understand their immune response and any inflammatory conditions.

3️⃣ Chest X-Ray & Abdominal Ultrasound: These diagnostic tools are vital for cancer screening. While physical exams and routine bloodwork are important, some issues can only be detected through imaging, giving us a clearer picture of your pet’s health.
