Welcome
We are a team of veterinarians with more than 25 years of experience in conventional veterinary medicine and we are also specialized in veterinary acupuncture, diplomated by I.V.A.S. (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society).
Introduction to Veterinary Acupuncture
In 1984, we (or more specifically, Dr. Emiel Van den Bosch) decided to offer comprehensive training in veterinary acupuncture. This training was based on a program designed by IVAS with several additional subjects, so that other veterinarians could learn this exciting and complementary method of treating pathologies.
It was the first of its kind in Europe, and the courses organized by BEVAS (Belgian Veterinary Acupuncture Society), the European branch of IVAS, have always been innovative since then.
We practice acupuncture on horses and small animals daily.

Acupuncture in Veterinary medicine
Integrating acupuncture into veterinary medicine requires a thorough understanding of both TCM and Western veterinary science. Acupuncture can be used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments, offering a holistic approach to animal health. Conditions commonly treated with acupuncture in veterinary medicine include musculoskeletal disorders, neurological issues, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory conditions. By combining the best of both worlds, veterinarians can provide more comprehensive and effective care for their patients.

Family pets veterinary care and Acupuncture
Pets are beloved family members, and their health and well-being are of utmost importance. Veterinary acupuncture can play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for family pets. Whether it’s relieving the pain of an aging dog or addressing the anxiety of a nervous cat, acupuncture provides a gentle, non-invasive solution that can make a significant difference.
At BEVAS, we emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to pet care, integrating acupuncture into a broader wellness plan that includes nutrition, exercise, and preventive care.
