Ever wanted to learn more about veterinary acupuncture? We have several models of cats, dogs, and even horses to discover the acupuncture points on animals. We also have a whole section dedicated to books on holistic veterinary care, from acupuncture to herbal treatments to energy healing. (P.S. we do not condone putting makeup on our models but that dog could use some better eyeliner 👀)

No, no, no, come check out Tricia Hersey's Rest is Resistance from our New Book shelf and then go take a nap.
