Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a common treatment used in pets for alleviating pain and distress. Our hospital is happy to provide this effective and pain free treatment to your fur friends. This form of treatment is favoured as it is minimally invasive, does not require surgery and is drug free.

How is laser therapy performed in pets?

Laser therapy uses cold or low-level light beams aimed at targeted regions of your pet’s body. The light is used at varying frequencies to replenish energy in the cell, reduce inflammation and decrease pain transmission. Laser therapy is often referred to as a jumpstart to healing in the body.
