How Companion Animal Laser Therapy Works
Our laser therapy uses a Class IV deep tissue laser designed to safely penetrate tissue without causing damage. The laser energy stimulates a natural cellular response known as photobiomodulation, which helps reduce pain and inflammation while improving blood circulation and accelerating the healing process. Treatment is delivered through a handheld device that targets the affected area with precision.
Laser therapy is gentle and pain-free. Pets typically feel only a mild, soothing warmth during treatment, and sessions usually take just a few minutes. Many pets relax quickly, even those who are normally anxious at the animal clinic, and some appear to enjoy the calming sensation. Because treatments are brief, pet parents are welcome to wait while the therapy is performed.
Will my pet need anesthesia?
No. Most pets remain awake and relaxed during laser therapy treatments.
How is the treatment given?
Your pet rests comfortably while our team performs the treatment. A handheld device delivers laser light as it is gently moved over the affected areas.
What are the benefits of laser therapy?
Laser therapy is an advanced option for pets with joint and soft tissue conditions. It can help reduce pain and inflammation, speed healing after surgery or injury, and may reduce the need for certain medications.
Will laser therapy hurt my pet?
No. Most pets feel only a mild, soothing warmth in the area being treated.
How long does each treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the area being treated. Sessions may last as little as five minutes or up to fifteen minutes when multiple areas are involved.
Is laser therapy safe?
Yes. Veterinary laser therapy has received FDA clearance and is widely used in animal care.
