Cold Laser Therapy for Dogs & Cats: Pain Relief & Healing
Laser therapy is a painless procedure suitable for pets of all ages. It offers a gentle alternative to medications or surgery for managing pain and promoting healing. By alleviating discomfort and inflammation, laser therapy can significantly improve your pet’s mobility and overall well-being. This allows them to return to activities they enjoy and live a happier, more active life.
Conditions That Benefit from Laser Therapy
By stimulating the body’s natural healing process, laser therapy can accelerate healing times and alleviate discomfort for a variety of conditions, including:
-
Chronic Pain Management: Arthritis, hip dysplasia, and degenerative joint disease
-
Post-Surgical Healing: Significantly speeds healing after spays, neuters, and dental and orthopedic procedures
-
Acute Injuries: Muscle strains, sprains, and ligament injuries
-
Wound Care: Hot spots, burns, non-healing wounds, lick granulomas, and lacerations
-
Feline Conditions: Benefits chronic pain related to feline arthritis and stomatitis (painful mouth inflammation)
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Our cold laser uses concentrated light beams to safely penetrate the skin. This energy is absorbed by your pet’s cells, turbo-charging their natural ability to heal themselves! This amazing process immediately starts working to:
Reduce Pain
Blocks pain signals and calms overactive nerves, providing quick relief from discomfort
Reduce Swelling
Dilates blood vessels, increasing circulation to flush out inflammation and swelling faster
Recover Faster
Encourages cells to repair damaged tissue quickly, making post-surgery or injury recovery much shorter
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Vaccines
Is Cold Laser Therapy painful for my pet?
No, not at all. Cold Laser Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. Most pets only feel a mild warmth where the wand is placed. In fact, because the therapy releases endorphins and soothes pain, many pets relax and enjoy the treatment—some even fall asleep!
How long does a typical laser session last?
Sessions are very fast. Most targeted treatments for specific joints or wounds only take 3 to 8 minutes to complete. Even if we are treating multiple areas on a larger pet, the session usually lasts no longer than 15 minutes.
How many sessions will my pet need?
The total number of sessions depends on the condition. Acute injuries (like a recent sprain or a post-surgical incision) often require 4–6 treatments over a 2–3 week period. Chronic conditions (like arthritis) may require an initial series of 6 treatments to start, followed by maintenance sessions once or twice a month to manage pain long-term.
Is Cold Laser Therapy safe?
Yes, it is extremely safe. Cold laser is a drug-free, non-toxic treatment with no known side effects when properly used. We tailor the specific dosage (wavelength and energy) for your pet’s size, coat color, and condition to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness.
Can laser therapy be used alongside other medications?
Are there any contraindications for Cold Laser Therapy?
- Active Malignancy (Cancer): We do not apply the laser directly over known tumors or cancerous lesions, as the accelerated cellular activity may potentially affect them.
- Thyroid Gland: We avoid using the laser directly over the thyroid area to prevent potential hormonal effects.
