Laser Therapy for Pets

Laser therapy is a form of rehabilitation that has proven success in feline and canine pets. This treatment is especially useful because it is drug-free and completely painless. Your veterinarian may recommend laser therapy in conjunction with other treatments such as medication to see greater results. The number of sessions your pet will need depends on the severity of their case. To discuss laser therapy for your pet, reach out to us at 780-428-8802.

How does laser therapy work?

Laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate healing in problem areas. The light beams are deep penetrating which influences cell chemistry causing them to repair and regenerate themselves. To your pet, it feels like a warm sensation over their body, but the warmth also causes the cells to repair at a faster rate. White blood cells are activated during laser therapy, and they release chemicals that support your pet's recovery.
