Introduction to Laser Therapy for Pet Owners

What is Companion Laser Therapy?

 

Photobiomodulation, commonly called laser therapy, targets your pet’s damaged cells and helps them regenerate faster. Much like sunlight helps a plant produce energy, laser therapy helps energize your pet’s cells.  


This drug-free, side-effect free treatment can be used as an adjunct to your pet’s prescribed treatment plan. Watch how it helped Cabela and Jabba below.

Effective Pain Relief for Your Pet

 

Eye Protection
Your pet, you, and the technician delivering the treatment will all wear eye protection during treatment. Make sure you snap a picture of your pet in their “doggles”!

Treatment
A handpiece is passed over your pet’s injury. Depending on your pet’s condition, a contact or non-contact applicator will be used. There is no clipping or shaving of your pet’s fur.

Pet Experience
Your pet will feel a gentle, soothing warmth as their pain is eased. Most pets are very relaxed during treatments, some even fall asleep.

Conditions Your Vet Can Treat With Laser Therapy

Laser therapy has been scientifically proven to be successful in treating post-surgical pain and many acute and chronic conditions.
