Can the dog lay down that long? It doesn't seem very fruitful. Wouldn't just your love and time benefit the dog more? I would just give the dog or cat a massage. I've done that with my dog Scooby who had a stroke and he is doing great! Try homeopathetic medicines instead of drugs. Brewer's yeast will help with skin problems and it can be found at GNC. I just don't see wasting money on accupuncture for an animal. Good luck!
