Before Susan Erika Argeres gets her needles ready for her next patient, she puts her stool on top of the examining table.
“Tucker likes to mark his territory,” she says.
That’s pretty typical on a visit to the vet for dogs like Tucker, a 3-year-old Welsh terrier. What comes next might not be.
Argeres is a doctor of veterinary medicine. But she’s also a certified veterinary acupuncturist and part of what she says is a growing trend in Albuquerque.
She plies her needles at various clinics in Albuquerque and makes several house calls a day. In 2003, Argeres opened Argeres Animal Alternatives, where she does massage and acupuncture.
In all, she estimates there are about 25 holistic vets in Albuquerque, 15 of whom do acupuncture. Click to read more of this article on dog acupuncture www.abqtrib.com
