When Fleas Invade   To rid your home of fleas, get a box of 20 Mule Team Borax (available in your grocery store laundry aisle), and spread it lightly over your carpet. Use a broom to sweep it deeply into the carpet. Wait a couple of hours then vacuum. The residual Borax that remains in the carpet will kill the fleas and their larvae simply by drying them out. Make sure your pets do not walk on the floor while the Borax is there. It can be absorbed into their feet. When washing dog or cat beds, towels and sheets sprinkle Borax on them before washing as a precaution to kill any eggs that might be hiding in the fibers. Herbal Flea Spray This is recommended after vacuuming the Borax off the carpets and washing all pet beds.  In a large spray bottle mix: 4 liters of apple cider vinegar 2 liters of water 500 ml of lemon juice 250 ml of witch hazel Spray the natural flea remedy to your home on carpets, furniture, pet bedding, window sills, and floors.

Holistic Pet Services In Salem, Peabody & Beverly MA

Your pet's first session will usually last about 1.5 hours depending on the animal. This is because I first do an entire intake asking questions concerning your pet's symptoms, ailments, diet, medications and more. Most animals will allow me to do what is needed during this session. Others are more hyper or suspicious and it may take a little longer for the dog or cat to cooperate. I do not charge extra for these situations. 

The first session also includes an info packet for the pet owner with a list of recommended supplements, herbs or liniments and where to find them. Please note that I do not sell anything.

All holistic pet sessions include acupuncture along with a combination of acupressure, laser therapy, Reiki and if needed Tui Na with a medicinal Chinese herbal liniment. More details about each service: http://www.fourpawsacupuncture.com/services.html

I make house calls in the Salem, Beverly and Peabody area. For those who live out of my travel range or do not wish to have a house call, I am now accepting new dog and cat patients at Our Family Veterinary Services 
in Peabody MA.

Blast from the Past

This photo is at least 10 years old! Our original Four Paws Acupuncture Bark Mobile VW bug with white paws all over it. 

This wonderful wookie looking dog is Zach, who belonged to a good friend here in Salem MA. Zach passed a few years ago. He was so much fun to be around. Our cat Nubi juan Kenobi love him too.

When we lived here 7 years ago, Four Paws Acupuncture was making house calls all over the North Shore. It wore down the car. Then during our move to VA, I had to drive the car from MA to VA all the while praying it would make it.

The VW Bark Mobile literally died during a horrid rain storm when we were living in Virginia. It was donated to the SPCA and auctioned off for $900. Pawsome!

The new 4 Paws Acupuncture Bark Mobile will get some more paws on it as soon as it stops snowing here in Salem MA. Not as cute as the bug, but much more efficient and reliable.

Now that we are back in the North Shore area, I will limit making animal acupuncture house calls to Salem, Beverly and Peabody MA area. Please do note that I am a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, not a veterinarian. 

Before treating any animal I must have a consent form filled out by your vet. And to quell any odd rumors, in the state of MA, it is legal for licensed acupuncturists to treat animals. Every state has their own laws concerning this.

Please note that during the session the owner must be in the room at all times. For a more peaceful session I ask that all phones, TVs, radio and any music or noise must be turned off. Schedule a time that the home is quiet so the dog or cat will be relaxed during the session. All forms must be filled out before the house call.
