Laser Treatment for Dogs and Cats: Improving Your Furry Friend’s Comfort
August 29th, 2016 by Cherished Companions Animal Clinic
We’re excited to share that our Castle Rock veterinarians now offer laser treatment for dogs and cats (also known as “laser therapy”).
We welcome pet families from across Castle Rock and the Denver area.
Laser treatment for dogs and cats is painless. It has virtually no side effects.
And it’s yet another way we can make your furry friend more comfortable.
We’d love to fill you in!
Laser treatment reduces pain and inflammation anywhere in your dog or cat
Lasers may make you think of hot rays, but laser treatment doesn’t use heat.
Rather, it uses LIGHT to stimulate your pet’s cells.
It increases oxygen and blood flow to those targeted cells, helping to remove the swelling and reduce your pet’s pain faster.
And that’s the beauty of this treatment.
It’s a painless, non-invasive way to start the healing process sooner, particularly when paired with the right medication.
It stimulates cells to heal themselves.
What to expect from pet laser treatments
Our treatment sessions generally take less than 15 minutes each.
Depending on your pet’s health issue, we may ask you to bring your pet in for one or more treatments per week over a course of several weeks.
When we may suggest laser treatment for your dog or cat
Our Castle Rock veterinarians have found that laser treatment can help with a wide range of inflammation-related issues, including:
- Sore muscles
- Canine back pain
- Cat and dog arthritis
- Cat bladder infections (such as if your kitty is stressed)
- And even post-surgery healing (such as after spays, neuters and dental surgeries)
Laser treatment isn’t the cure for everything.
However, when paired with other treatment options, it can be an effective way to jumpstart the healing process and make your dog or cat more comfortable.
