Pet Laser Therapy
A non-invasive holistic treatment.
We offer veterinary laser therapy for dogs. Laser therapy is a non-invasive holistic treatment used in pet rehabilitation to speed up the body's natural healing process and relieve pain. It’s a great option for post-op dogs, older dogs, and dogs living with chronic conditions like arthritis.
How does pet laser therapy work?
Laser therapy uses deep penetrating beams of the light to alter cells and the tissue that surrounds them. When the light penetrates the body’s cellular components, it stimulates the targeted cells and promotes healing. Perhaps most importantly, though, laser therapy is entirely painless.
Whether your dog is struggling with post-surgical pain or they’re simply getting older, laser therapy can help them live their very best life. Treatments are relatively quick and can be easily integrated with traditional medical procedures and other holistic practices like acupuncture, reiki, and hydrotherapy.
What conditions can laser therapy treat?
Laser therapy can help treat a number of chronic and acute conditions in dogs including:
- Allergies
- Arthritis and inflammation
- Lacerations and burns
- Hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis
- Skin conditions and infections
- Fractures, sprains, and strains
- Gingivitis and tooth extraction pain
- Wound healing and post-surgical pain relief

How our laser therapy sessions work
Our laser therapy sessions vary slightly, depending on your pet’s needs.
- Let’s say your cat or dog is visiting our veterinarians for surgery or for a tooth extraction. Before the procedure, we’ll ask you whether you want to speed up your furry friend’s healing. If you do, we’ll perform the laser therapy post-surgery or post-dental work.
- If your cat or dog has pain from a muscular-skeletal issue (such as hip arthritis or lumbar pain), we’ll typically try to pinpoint exactly where your pet’s pain is. We may do X-rays first, so laser therapy has the best chance of working.
- If you’re visiting us for another reason, we may simply start with a consultation. We can provide laser therapy during this first visit.
Usually, laser therapy treatments run five to 20 minutes, depending on the body area we’re targeting in your cat’s or dog’s body.
If you’d like to be present, we’ll perform the treatment in the exam room when possible. We want you and your pet to feel comfortable.
How many visits to expect
Again, it depends on your cat or dog. If your furry friend has a chronic issue (such as arthritis), there needs to be some ongoing consistency in your visits. Otherwise, your cat laser therapy or dog laser therapy won’t be as effective. The pain and swelling will come back.
If your cat or dog has an acute injury (such as a hyper-extended paw), we may start off with six sessions, twice a week. As your pet feels better, we’ll spread out the frequency.
You can expect periodic follow-up visits too. We want to make sure your pet is moving better.
If you think laser therapy could improve your dog’s quality of life, give us a call at (303) 688-3757 to schedule a consultation.
