How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy harnesses the healing power of concentrated light to provide relief and improve mobility for your pet. Our trained technicians use a handheld device to target the affected area with light energy that penetrates deep into the tissue. Once there, it stimulates cellular activity, promotes circulation, and reduces inflammation.
The result? Faster healing, improved comfort, and a happier, more active pet. Best of all, the treatment is painless, calming, and entirely drug-free—making it an excellent choice for pets of all ages and species.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Laser Therapy Session
Each session is customized to your pet’s needs. During treatment, your pet can relax while we gently apply the laser to the targeted area. Most pets find the experience soothing, and some even drift off to sleep during the session!
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, your pet’s body condition, and how they respond to therapy. Sessions typically last between 10-30 minutes. Acute injuries and post-surgical healing often require just one or two sessions, while chronic conditions like arthritis may need more frequent treatments over time.
