Praise for this book:

This is a welcome pocket reference for veterinarians who have already
completed acupuncture training, but are not yet proficient in the location or
use of all the points. -- Lorrie Hale-Mitchell, DVM, University of
Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine

Skillfully integrating traditional concepts of Chinese medicine with
clinical experience and modern scientific research, Acupuncture for Dogs and Cats brings together all current information in one convenient
book. Its atlas-style format, highlighted by hundreds of full-color photographs
and supporting text, makes it ideal as a quick, user-friendly reference in the
clinic or training program.

Special Features:

• An easy-to-use, double-page spread designed for fast
  retrieval of information--on the left, concise text describes the effects,
  indications, localization, technique, and depth of insertion for each
  acupuncture point; on the right, high-quality photographs demonstrate all
  concepts
  
• Bones and muscles have been precisely drawn into each
  photograph, a valuable tool for localization of points
  
• A comprehensive discussion of all acupuncture points in
  all channels ensures that you have full mastery of the field
  
• A complete introduction to the principles of traditional
  Chinese medicine (TCM), channel systems, TCM diagnostics, point selection, and
  point categories (such as Ting or Luo points) provide a strong foundation in the
  concepts of veterinary TCM

The only book to focus
solely on acupuncture for small animals, this handy, pocket-size atlas is unique
in the field. It offers a wealth of practical knowledge and a pictorial reference for veterinarians, animal acupuncturists, students, and trainees whose goal is to provide the highest level of treatment to the animals in their care.
