What is Laser Therapy?

Our veterinarians use the K-Laser system to provide laser therapy for cats and dogs. During treatment, we use a handheld device to direct concentrated beams of light to specific points on the patient’s body. The light penetrates the deepest tissue layers and generates gentle warmth to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike the lasers sometimes used in surgery, therapeutic lasers do not cause tissue trauma. Instead of cutting, they deliver soothing warmth to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease pain.

  • Fractures
  • Sprains and Strains
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Ear Infections
  • Periodontitis
  • Gingivitis

Our vets will also use pet K-Laser therapy to facilitate healing in post-surgical patients. This treatment is non-invasive, safe, and does not cause any discomfort or pain.

What K-Laser Therapy Does for Your Pet

Pet laser therapy offers numerous benefits, making it an excellent option for managing various conditions. Firstly, laser treatment provides significant pain relief by stimulating the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving compounds. Additionally, pet laser therapy sessions effectively reduce inflammation and swelling in the treated areas, which is crucial for alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. The therapy also enhances circulation, improving blood flow to the affected tissues and accelerating healing. Unlike surgical interventions, pet laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment, meaning there is no downtime or recovery period required, making it a convenient and low-risk option for pet owners.
