Pet Laser Therapy

Delivering the Most Advanced Technologies: Pet Laser Therapy

As an alternative to the more intrusive scalpel, we offer technologically advanced laser surgery. Utilizing a heated laser light beam to cut and cauterize tissue, veterinary laser surgery can be beneficial and better for your pet than the traditional scalpel in many ways:




 

• Decrease in bleeding
• Less swelling
• Smaller chance of infection since the tissue is ablated, sealed, and sterilized at the same time
• Reduced pain
• Faster recovery time
• More precision and accuracy
• Condensed surgery time
• Less time under anesthesia, reducing anesthesia risks like hypothermia

Cold Laser Therapy

Veterinary cold laser therapy, often referred to as low level laser therapy, is a noninvasive means of pet pain management and wound healing for dogs and cats. Cold laser therapy can be used in conjunction with veterinary acupuncture (a method of pain management using needles), as both methods encourage cell rejuvenation and excite circulation. A penetrating light beam shines from the laser wand that is directed to the problem area; the light then comfortably stimulates cell regeneration and blood flow.

Often relaxing and soothing to the pet, such treatment has proven to be rather enjoyable for our patients. And contrary to common misconception, shaving your pet’s shiny fur coat is not necessary when receiving cold laser therapy—unless, of course, Fido and Tiger are seeking fresh, trendsetting hairstyles for the summer!
