What Is Cat & Dog Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy has proven effective in treating both humans and animals. This treatment uses a hand-held device to emit light particles that penetrate the tissues, stimulating the cells’ ability to repair and regenerate. This process is completely noninvasive, painless, and free of medications. The gentle warmth from the laser can even be soothing for your pet, making their therapy sessions more pleasant.

Conditions That Can Benefit from Laser Therapy

Cat and dog laser therapy offers relief and promotes healing for pets with various painful or inflammatory conditions. This therapy can increase circulation, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery times. Conditions that may benefit include:

  • Arthritis
  • Acute and chronic ear infections (otitis)
  • Degenerative disc/joint disease
  • Gingivitis
  • Hip dysplasia symptoms
  • Lick granulomas
  • Hot spots
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Post-surgical healing

What Happens During Laser Therapy Sessions?

Every pet's response to laser therapy can vary, and the number of sessions required is based on their individual needs. Some pets may experience noticeable improvement after a single session, while others might benefit from a series of laser therapy treatments. Sessions are generally brief, lasting between 10-30 minutes, and take place in one of our comfortable exam rooms. To ensure safety, everyone present, including your pet, wears protective eyewear during the session. Our team can discuss your pet’s specific needs and determine if laser therapy is the right choice.
