Inside Demi Moore’s weekly $1,970 acupuncture treatments … for her dog

Now that's a pampered pooch!

Whenever we have to fork out an exorbitant amount of our hard-earned cash at the vets for a simple doggie check-up or cat grooming, we simply can’t believe it.

But this dilemma clearly doesn’t apply to Demi Moore.

According to US Weekly, Demi has made a name for herself as one excessive fur mama.

The report reveals that Demi Moore dolls out $715 (or $985 AUD) for her dog’s bi-weekly acupuncture sessions.

According to veterinarian Patrick Mahaney, acupuncture helps to calm anxious dogs, increase appetite and treat muscle spasms.

But at $1,970 a week?!

We thought our pigs’ ears were an expensive treat!
