Acupuncture
Acupuncture is when a set of needles is inserted into parts of the animal to promote healing. Each acupuncture point has a specific goal. This technique has been used in various veterinary practices for thousands of years and will treat any ailment. Although acupuncture will not cure every condition, it will work extremely well when there is an issue.
Small dogs and large dogs will actually respond to acupuncture differently. Small dogs will typically come and receive acupuncture because of musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis, intervertebral disk disease, or traumatic nerve injury. They also come in for skin problems such as lick granulomas and allergic dermatitis. Acupuncture can assist in healing all of these problems.
Geriatric Care
Preventative medicine is important when our pets are young, but as our pets age, and become prone to certain disease processes, annual exams and blood work becomes even more critical.
Annual exams and blood work to check liver and kidney values, along with thyroid function have the potential to alert us to early changes that may give us valuable information about your pet’s health. We understand the changes your pet will have as they become older, and we also know the importance of keeping your pet healthy as they enter their golden years.
Please call us today at (530) 582-1133 to learn more about caring for your senior pet.
Laser Therapy
We are proud to announce we are now offering laser therapy, an innovative new way to treat pain and inflammation in pets. Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects such as improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Multiple studies have shown laser therapy can help with a variety of problems including arthritis, joint pain, ligament sprains, muscle strains, dog/cat bites, feline acne/asthma, hotspots, post trauma/surgery pain, hip dysplasia, lick granulomas and snake/bug bites.
Alternative Medicine
Here at Tahoe Integrative Veterinary Care, we are proud to offer Homeopathy, also called Alternative Medicine. Many owners do not like to give traditionally prescribed medications so we have many alternatives for pain, vomiting, allergies, and many other conditions. We are excited to be able to offer this service since many veterinarians do not!

Vet Spinal Manipulation Therapy
Tahoe Integrative Veterinary Care is pleased to offer spinal manipulation for our patients.
The chiropractic field is growing in humans because more and more people want to treat their symptoms without taking medications. They also want the same for their pet.
We are very proud to be able to offer chiropractic treatments, including spinal manipulation, for our patients so that they can have a happy and healthy life.
We use spinal manipulation for many reasons. It allows our patients to move around better. Some owners have commented that their pets are much more playful than they have been in years.
If you have any questions about spinal manipulation and how it could help your pet, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (530) 582-1133.
