What Is Pet Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy—also called cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation—uses focused light energy to stimulate cells, improve circulation, and reduce pain and inflammation. It’s completely noninvasive, pain-free, and doesn’t require sedation.

Laser therapy can be used on its own or in combination with other treatments to support healing and comfort for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Post-surgical healing

  • Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains)

  • Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)

  • Chronic ear infections

  • Wounds and hotspots

  • Lick granulomas

  • Dental extractions and oral inflammation

Treatments are quick (often under 10 minutes), and most pets find them soothing and relaxing—some even fall asleep!

How Laser Therapy Helps Dogs and Cats

Laser therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light to targeted tissues. This stimulates cellular regeneration and increases blood flow, helping your pet heal faster while reducing swelling and pain.

Benefits of pet laser therapy include:

  • Pain relief without drugs or side effects
  • Faster recovery after surgery or injury
  • Reduced inflammation and swelling
  • Improved mobility and range of motion
  • Increased comfort and quality of life

Because it’s safe, gentle, and versatile, laser therapy is a great option for pets of all ages—including seniors and those who can’t tolerate certain medications.

What to Expect from a Laser Therapy Session

When you bring your pet in for laser therapy, we’ll start by identifying the areas to be treated and developing a customized treatment plan. Sessions are performed by our experienced veterinary team, using a handheld laser device that delivers therapeutic light directly to the affected area.

Most pets require a series of treatments to see optimal results, especially for chronic conditions. You may notice improvement after the first session, with continued benefits as therapy progresses. Our veterinarian will discuss what’s best for your pet’s condition, comfort level, and overall care plan.
