Four Paws Acupuncture House Call Guidelines
Thank you for
helping me make each session for your pet the best that it can possibly be. Please note everyone receives this email
before their first session.
During my years of
making house calls I have discovered a few guidelines that make your pet’s
session more relaxing and to receive the most benefits from the treatment.
Working with animals takes a bit more focus and energy. As I incorporate many
modalities of holistic therapies into this session, both your pet and I need to
stay calm and focused.
1. Pick a room or area that your dog/cat
is most comfortable. If they have a favorite blanket or toy keep it handy.
2. Please take your dog out to pee before
I arrive.
3.
The owner must be in the room with me and the dog/cat during
the entire session. You are part of your dog/cat’s family and this helps
keep them relaxed. I also ask the owner to participate to help keep the dog/cat
still during the session as needed. Keeping the owner
involved makes the animal happy and usually better behaved. During the session,
I will also be showing you how to massage, do basic acupressure and apply
liniments. Please note this guideline is
also for liability reasons.
4. Please turn off all TV, radio, video
games or music unless it is classical soothing music.
5.
Please no cell phone or texting during the session unless it is an emergency. Stay focused on your pet.
6.
Please no cooking, doing homework, or any other activities that will
require you to get up and down and leave the room.
7.
Children may watch but must be quiet and respect the dog/cat and me.
8.
No Smoking in the room.
9.
Please refrain from eating during the session. Usually most dogs will
focus on the food which makes it difficult to keep them calm.
Thank you for not
inviting neighbors and friends to watch this session. It’s fun for the
neighbors, but very distracting for your pet.
Payment is due at
the time of service. I accept cash, credit cards and checks.
