Laser Pet Therapy
Laser therapy is safe, painless, and effective
We are excited about the use of our Laser Therapy for pain management as it reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, and releases natural endorphins in your pets body which can reduce the pain in your dog or cat.
Unlike when we go to our doctor, your pet can't always tell you where it hurts. Pets often mask their pain.
Laser Therapy for Pets is used for chronic and acute conditions, as well as to reduce post-surgical pain and inflammation.
Laser Therapy for Pets is used for chronic and acute conditions, as well as to reduce post-surgical pain and inflammation.
The first step in the process is to determine what specific pains they are having. Every pet is different, and what’s right for one animal may not work for another. Our experienced staff will conduct a thorough analysis of your pet’s overall health, taking into account such important factors as the breed, age, weight and the existence of any medical conditions or other pain and health concerns they may have.

SENIOR PETS
A large proportion of our older patients have osteoarthritis (arthritis) and their quality of life may be significantly improved with medical therapy.
Only about 15-20 % of cats* with severe arthritis show symptoms to owners such as limping or vocalizing.
They may have subtle symptoms such as stiffness, reluctance to use the litter box, reluctance to jump, loss of muscle mass, sleeping more, hiding, reluctance to be picked up, irritability, decreased interaction, or even excessive grooming/ pulling hair out.
Dogs with osteoarthritis may have symptoms such as stiffness, loss of muscle mass, limping (both weight-bearing or nonweightbearing), difficulty sitting down/standing up, difficulty jumping onto couch, difficulty getting into the car, and irritability when touched.
We offer treatments including several supplements such as glucosamine and omega fish fatty acids as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (Deramax, Rimadyl, Novox, and Metacam).
Some injections and other Pain Management have also been very successful as an additional option for arthritis pain management.
