Pet Laser Therapy Services

At Lakeside Animal Hospital, we’re committed to offering the latest in advanced veterinary care to help your pet live a healthier, more comfortable life. One of the innovative treatments we provide is pet laser therapy, a safe, non-invasive option for reducing pain, inflammation, and speeding up healing.

What is Pet Laser Therapy?

Pet laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses concentrated light energy to penetrate deep into the tissue. This light energy stimulates cell regeneration, improves circulation, and promotes healing without the need for surgery or medication.

Laser therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions in pets, from chronic arthritis to post-surgical recovery. It is painless and well-tolerated by most animals, making it an excellent choice for pets that are sensitive to other treatments.

Benefits of Pet Laser Therapy

• Pain Relief

  Laser therapy helps to alleviate pain by stimulating the release of endorphins and reducing inflammation in affected tissues. It’s particularly effective for managing:

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Spinal and nerve pain
• Accelerated Healing

  For pets recovering from surgery or injury, laser therapy can help speed up the healing process. It stimulates cellular repair and increases blood flow to the treated area, which promotes faster tissue regeneration and recovery.

  Common conditions where laser therapy aids healing include:

  • Post-surgical wounds or incisions
  • Traumatic injuries (e.g., cuts, abrasions)
  • Bone fractures or ligament injuries
• Reduced Inflammation

  Inflammation can be painful and slow down recovery in pets. Laser therapy reduces swelling and improves lymphatic drainage, allowing for quicker recovery from:

  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Skin irritations or allergies
• Improved Mobility

  For pets suffering from arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other degenerative conditions, laser therapy can help improve mobility and comfort by reducing pain and inflammation in the joints. Many pets show increased movement and flexibility after regular laser treatments.

• Enhanced Quality of Life

  For senior pets or those with chronic conditions, laser therapy can provide significant relief, allowing them to enjoy a better quality of life. It’s a gentle, soothing treatment that can be repeated as needed to maintain your pet’s comfort and well-being.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session

• Comfortable Environment: Your pet will be positioned comfortably in a quiet, relaxed setting.
• Treatment Process: Our trained veterinary staff will use a handheld laser device to deliver the laser light to the targeted area. The device is moved over the skin, allowing the laser to penetrate the tissues beneath.
• No Pain, No Sedation: The procedure is completely painless—many pets find the warmth of the laser soothing and may relax or even fall asleep during the session.
• Session Duration: Treatments usually last between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition and the size of the treatment area.

Is Laser Therapy Safe for Pets?

Yes, laser therapy is a safe, FDA-approved treatment option for pets. It is non-invasive and free from side effects, making it suitable for pets of all ages. Whether your pet is recovering from an injury, dealing with a chronic condition, or simply in need of pain relief, laser therapy can be a beneficial part of their care plan.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of laser therapy sessions will depend on your pet’s specific condition. Acute injuries may only require a few treatments, while chronic issues like arthritis may benefit from regular sessions. Our veterinary team will assess your pet’s progress and recommend a treatment schedule tailored to their needs.
