The purpose of the dog body acupuncture model

The main purpose of the dog body acupuncture model is to be used for veterinary acupuncture teaching, clinical training and popular science demonstration, providing learners with a safe and repeatable training tool. The model is made based on the real structure of a dog, marking the main meridian directions and the locations of commonly used acupoints, such as Baihui, Ganshu, Shenshu, Weizhong, etc., enabling learners to intuitively grasp the distribution characteristics and positioning methods of dog acupoints.

In teaching, the model helps students understand the corresponding relationship between canine anatomy and the meridian system, avoiding the abstraction and deviation brought about by learning only through picture books. In practical training, learners can practice needling techniques, the Angle and depth of needle insertion, reduce the risks of operating on real animals for the first time, and improve their proficiency in skills. For veterinary clinical training, it can be used to demonstrate the combination of acupoints and the principles of stimulation required for the treatment of common diseases such as weakness in the hind limbs of dogs, skin diseases, and gastrointestinal problems.

In addition, in popular science or training lectures at pet hospitals, the model can help pet owners or students understand more clearly the mechanism of action and safety of acupuncture treatment. Overall, the dog body acupuncture model has significant teaching and practical value in the education and clinical application of veterinary acupuncture.
