Less pain and less swelling, without a needle.
Our companion animal therapy laser treats pain, swelling, inflammation, and infection without an incision, an injection, or sedation. Any condition involving those four is a candidate, from post operative recovery to arthritis, hot spots, ear infections, and gingivitis. Most pets simply lie still and enjoy the warmth.

What we use it for
Anything with pain, swelling, inflammation, or infection in it, which turns out to be a great many things.
After surgery
Orthopedic procedures, spay and neuter, oral surgery, and dental cleanings, to bring down swelling and pain in the days that matter most.
Arthritis and joint pain
A non drug way to add comfort for older pets, alongside the rest of a mobility plan.
Hot spots and skin
Inflamed, angry skin settles faster, which breaks the itch and damage cycle sooner.
Ear infections
Reduces the inflammation that makes ears painful and keeps them flaring up.
Allergies
Helps calm the inflammatory response that drives so much allergic misery.
Wounds and gingivitis
Anywhere tissue is trying to heal, laser therapy can help it along more completely.
Where it gets used most
Straight after surgery, in our own suite
Because we do our own orthopedic and soft tissue work here, laser therapy can start the same day rather than waiting on a referral. Bringing swelling down early is what makes the first week after a procedure noticeably easier on your pet.
It works best as part of a plan
Laser therapy is an addition, not a substitute. For a painful joint it sits alongside weight management, medication, and the rest of a mobility plan. For a skin case it supports the work of finding out what is actually causing the itch. We will tell you what it is contributing rather than selling it as the whole answer.
Laser therapy questions owners actually ask
What is therapy laser treatment?
A companion animal therapy laser delivers light energy into tissue to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation and to speed healing. It is non invasive, there is no incision and no needle, and most pets simply lie still for it.Does it hurt?
No. Most pets feel a gentle warmth and a lot of them relax completely during treatment. There is nothing to recover from afterwards, so your pet goes home and carries on with their day.What conditions can it help?
Any ailment involving pain, swelling, inflammation, or infection is a candidate. In practice that means arthritis, hot spots, allergies, ear infections, gingivitis, wounds, and recovery after surgery. If you are not sure whether your pet's problem qualifies, ask us.How is it used after surgery?
We use it after orthopedic surgery, routine spay and neuter, oral surgery, and dental cleanings to bring down post operative swelling and pain. Less inflammation early tends to mean a more comfortable first week.How long does a session take?
Sessions are short, usually a matter of minutes depending on the area being treated. Many pets are in and out without needing to be admitted.How many sessions will my pet need?
It depends entirely on what we are treating. An acute problem after surgery may need only a few. A chronic condition like arthritis is usually managed with a course and then ongoing maintenance. We will give you a realistic plan rather than an open ended one.Does it replace medication?
Not usually. It works alongside pain control, and for some pets it means a lower dose or a more comfortable result from the same plan. We will be clear about what it is adding rather than presenting it as a replacement for treatment your pet needs.Is any sedation needed?
No. That is much of the point. Your pet stays awake, comfortable, and usually quite happy about the whole thing, which fits how we try to run every visit here.
