Canine Acupuncture: Interview with Dr. Rebecca White

I'm super excited to share with you my latest podcast interview with Dr. Becca White! She specializes in canine and equine acupuncture and comes to my house to do sessions with Bacci. (He's turning 14 next month!)

A couple months ago I shared a blog, Navigating the Bittersweet. In it, I discussed Bacci's struggles, how he sometimes has trouble walking, and why I was thrilled to meet Dr. White. Be sure to check it out if you missed it!

I've seen some amazing results since Dr. White started doing acupuncture with Bacci!

P.S. Bacci continues to have his good days and bad days, but overall, he's still doing very well! He still has his spunk and attitude, frequently forgetting his body is not as young as his spirit and mind!
