How It Works

A therapeutic laser operates in various settings, emitting different frequencies of light based on the needs of your pet. Our trained staff set the laser appropriately and place it over your pet’s affected area. The light energy penetrates deep into your pet’s tissue, stimulating cells. These cells begin to work more quickly at repairing the area and also work to reduce pain and inflammation with the body’s natural pain relievers.

Treatment Plans

In order for your pet to benefit fully from therapy, your veterinarian will develop a unique treatment plan for them and their condition. Typically, surgeries and injury recovery only need one or two sessions to see positive effects. However, for more chronic conditions such as arthritis,your pet may need several sessions over the course of a few months to see benefits. Luckily, since cold pet laser therapy is cumulative in nature, the frequency of your pet’s sessions will decrease in time, while still maintaining full efficacy.
