It is with a tear on my sleeve that i must announce this news. Four Paws Acupuncture will be closing its Massachusetts operation sometime this September 2011. We will be relocating to the MD-VA-DC area.
I will be available to make house calls to all current patients through the first week of September and will also be treating patients at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital until we leave. If you would like to schedule a session please do so as soon as possible. I do have a few acupuncturists that i will be recommending. Please email me for their names and contact info.
Once in Maryland, i will be taking a sabbatical from making house-calls and treating dog patients. However, i will continue to do Canine TCM nutritional and herbal phone consultations.
My focus will be on writing more veterinary TCM books and creating more CEU classes for acupuncturists and veterinarians. click here for class info
I will miss all the dogs and their owners who have allowed me to be a part of their lives. Many of you have become friends and even family to me. There are no words to express my sadness leaving behind all those sweet memories and dog kisses. It was an honor and pleasure. It was my dream job and i will cherish the memories always. Thank you.
I hope to stay in touch via Quan Yin’s blog and the Four Paws Acupuncture facebook page. My email address remains the same if you need to contact me.
With loving gratitude and a few dog treats,

Just like humans, many dogs suffer from arthritis pain and inflammation as they age. Joints and bones naturally degenerate over time. Fortunately, arthritis can often be managed with the help of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, supplements and nutrition. Natural and alternative therapies are generally safe, effective and can be used in conjunction with western medicine.
This Squidoo lens provides tips for those who have dogs suffering from arthritis. Ancient Solutions for Canine Arthritis.
