Acupressure Points

Animals have a vital life force and a connection to universal energies. There are channels of energy that move throughout the physical body and interact with external energies. This energy is known as Chi in the ancient healing arts. It is thought that blockages in this flow of energy result in physical ailments, and conversely, physical trauma and illness block up the energy flow. Although the practice of both acupuncture and acupressure require years of training and experience, it is possible to use the acupoints in simple every day care. Next time you groom your dog or cat, try gentle, circular massage directly to the points on the charts below. Your pet will love the attention and there will be a positive energy exchange between the two of you.
