Background: Acupuncture is an alternative non-pharmacological technique with minimal adverse effects that is used for the treatment of various pathologies. There is evidence of its use in humans and animals. The aim of this review was gather, synthesize and discuss the evidence on the use of acupuncture and its variants for pain in hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis in domestic canines. Methods: Based on the defined PICO question, we conducted an electronic search in 5 databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science), to identify studies on the application of acupuncture for pain management in cases of osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia in domestic canines. We also incorporated methodological elements, tools, and strategies from other forms of evidence review and synthesis where possible. Results: Of the 241 articles initially identified, 30 met the inclusion criteria and of these the following stood out: 3 were systematic reviews, 3 gray literature, 2 focused on gold implants, 2 on electroacupuncture and laser puncture, and 13 on acupuncture and its application for pain management. The finally selected articles are presented in summary tables and in integrated text in the form of a synthesis with its corresponding critique and discussion. Conclusions: The application of acupuncture shows to be beneficial, since positive results were found for pain management in domestic dogs with hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. However, this technique would not replace conventional medical treatments, as improvements in patients resulted as part of multimodal treatment to reduce pain and improve the animal's quality of life. There are important methodological considerations in the reviewed studies, which lead to carefully assess their results; but that can also serve as a basis for proposing and carrying out future better studies in this area.
