COLLEGE STATION - If you’ve ever wanted to try a safe and effective form of alternative medicine for your pet, consider acupuncture.

Part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, the act of inserting small needles in certain parts in the body, can offer many benefits to a variety of pets, according to Dr. Daniel Eckman, a veterinarian at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. The needles can be plain or accompanied with gentle currents of electricity, medication, or burning herbs.
