Acupuncture For Pets

For pet parents in Thousand Oaks and the wider Ventura County region of Southern California, finding veterinary care that prioritizes holistic health, comfort, and personalized attention is paramount. **Acupuncture For Pets**, led by the highly knowledgeable and compassionate Dr. Elizabeth Fernandez, DVM, CVA, offers a distinctive approach to animal wellness. As a dedicated **Veterinarian**, the practice specializes in integrating the best of conventional veterinary knowledge with the ancient wisdom of **Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM)**. This includes core services like **Pet Acupuncture**, **Herbal Medicine**, and **Food Therapy**.

What truly sets this practice apart in California is its profound focus on quality of life, comfort, and providing support during critical life stages. Dr. Fernandez brings decades of experience, including expertise in emergency medicine, blended with a commitment to **Alternative Treatments** like acupuncture and massage. This ensures that every "fur-baby," as one client lovingly noted, receives comprehensive and intuitive care for conditions ranging from chronic pain and arthritis to recovery from injury. The deeply positive impact of their care is often immediate—one dog, in great pain, was reportedly so relaxed after a treatment of acupuncture and cold lasers that she "ended it asleep on a pillow."

Beyond the clinical setting, **Acupuncture For Pets** is structured to maximize patient comfort and client convenience through **Veterinary House Calls** and specialized end-of-life services.
