Complimentary, not alternative.
Positive therapy effects can only be seen if the chosen method is the correct one for the existing condition. Because of this your animal will be examined using conventional medicine techniques before a method of treatment is chosen. Only then will it be decided which way of proceeding will bring the best results.
It will first be assessed if acupuncture really is the therapy of choice. Depending on the diagnosis it may be a combination of conventional and Chinese medicine that can help your pet to get better.
