Inna Veterinary Acupuncture

Dr. Magner has been providing electro acupuncture to my Elinor. Since starting a few months ago, her back and hip pain is no longer detectable and my dog loves her sessions! Thank you so much for being so caring and attentive!

Dr. MAGNER has taken care of our two cavalier King Charles spaniels. Unfortunately, she detected heart problems in both of them. She also treated the youngest for pancreatitis. She is caring, knowledgeable and recommended treatments that, I am sure, extended their lives. She also performed acupuncture on the younger dog to relieve some of her heart problems. Once again, she prescribed herbs that increased her energy and helped her breathing.
Their heart disease took them from us, but I am sure Dr. MAGNER gave them more time with us because of her great care. We are getting a new puppy soon, and we have already made an appointment for her to see him because of her excellent care.

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon Dr. Magner during a routine vet visit seven years ago. My dogs, both of who were seniors and quite characters at times, were naturally put at ease by her caring disposition. Having experienced many vets, I automatically knew (and was continuously reassured throughout the years) that Dr. Magner’s attention to detail, combined with her medical knowledge and general interest in my dogs’ wellbeing set her apart.
As my dogs had been long time patients of Dr. Magner for veterinary services, I was thrilled when she began offering acupuncture. Elly, my sweet 14-​year-​old girl, had a long list of ailments ranging from stress and arthritis to cancer. After attempting to treat Elly’s conditions with Western medicine, Dr. Magner suggested that Elly might benefit from acupuncture. The fact that Dr. Magner offers in home acupuncture, as well appointments at Banfiled Pet Hospital in Daly City made it very convenient, so I figured we had nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Knowing that Elly was a nervous dog with a fear of needles, I was equally hopeful and apprehensive about this new course of treatment. However, as she had in the past, Dr. Magner went above an beyond to make sure Elly was comfortable by offering her treats and even playing music specifically composed for dogs! Consequently, even with her anxiety, Elly was able to make it through each acupuncture session with noticeable results. The evening after her second session she exhibited energy and agility that I hadn’t seen for ages, even going so far as to leap over a hedge (no easy task for a 55 pound senior dog with arthritis).
In addition to the acupuncture itself, I was really impressed by Dr. Magner’s knowledge and care when it came to herbal consultation. Elly had many health problems, which made choosing the right medicine tricky in the past, but Dr. Magner took a significant amount of time in researching which herbs would be most beneficial to Elly. Each time we tried a new herb Dr. Magner provided me with detailed information about its ingredients and benefits and also carefully monitored Elly to see how her body was responding. While I was always hyper focused on the Elly ‘s most obvious areas of concern, Dr. Magner took a more balanced approach. She made sure to consider and understand all relevant factors including Elly’s more minor health issues and stress levels, as well as environmental factors, before selecting the best course of treatment.
I always left these acupuncture sessions feeling confident that Elly was more comfortable and that she was in the hands of someone that truly cared about maximizing her overall health. Sadly, Elly recently passed away, but I have no doubt her quality of life was greatly enhanced by Dr. Magner’s acupuncture services. If you are considering acupuncture for a four-​legged member of your family, I highly recommend Inna Veterinary Acupuncture — Dr. Magner truly made all the difference for Elly.
