Services Offered

  • Small Animal Acupuncture

    Our trained veterinary acupuncturist uses traditional Chinese medicine in conjunction with Western medicine to treat your pets. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions including arthritis, allergies, and anxiety.

    Our services focus on various types of acupuncture — dry needling, aqua acupuncture, electroacupuncture and hemoacupuncture as well as moxabustion.

    Integrative medicine is best if used in conjunction with Western medicine so we do recommend having your veterinary records readily available to aid our team in improving your pets’ lives as much as possible.

  • Large Animal Acupuncture

    Integrative medicine is not just for our small animal companions. Equine patients can also greatly benefit from acupuncture of all kinds. Now offering dry needling, electroacupuncture, hemoacupuncture and aquaacupuncture as well as moxabustion.

    One of the greatest benefits of equine acupuncture is an additional treatment modality for common lamenesses in horses. General weakness, muscle atrophy, and more systemic illness such as Cushing’s disease, Laryngeal hemiplegia and chronic or acute GI issues have a high success rate with acupuncture as well. It is important that your regular veterinarian is able to send records with previous history of your horse to come up with the best treatment plan and goals from the very first appointment.

  • Hospice Care and Quality of Life Assessment

    We specialize in comforting you and your pet in the end stages of life, whether it be a few days, weeks or months. Our goal in life is to keep your pet’s quality of life the highest it can be for as long as possible.

Meet Dr. Hanna Lamb

Our team is lead by a skilled veterinarian, Dr. Hanna Lamb, with specialized training in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine from Chi University as a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA). She is also a graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and has worked in small animal general and emergency practice since graduating in 2014.

She has always had a profound interest in veterinary medicine, knowing what she wanted to “be” when she was in kindergarten. However through the last decade of practice, Dr. Lamb has discovered that there is more out there to help animals that surpasses western medicine alone. Thus, her keen interest in TCVM and her love of integrative medicine.

Dr. Hanna has a husband, Jake, and two two-legged children, Addison and Fitz. They also have three four-legged kids: Sprocket (Aussie), Mackenzie (Border Collie), and Pogue (the alpha/cat). When you aren’t finding her practicing veterinary medicine, you can find her rooting for her Auburn Tigers, running marathons (hence the border collie), or planning a trip to Disney World.

What Pets and Their People are Saying…

  • "Acupuncture is really amazing. Rocky was struggling with some hip and low back pain. He had an acupuncture treatment and now he is doing great again! Thanks Hanna Lamb and Plains Animal Wellness!"

  • “Dr. Lamb has treated several horses in our barn and each one of them has shown immediate improvement. She is very thorough in her examination and finds problem areas. After treatment, those sore spots are no longer reactive. We are fortunate to have this treatment available in our area! I highly recommend Dr Lamb!"

    Dimitri & Marlene Bowman

  • "Changing the medications PLUS the acupuncture has made a difference in Cooper. Much less whiny and straighter back legs. We are happy. Victory!
