What is Cold Laser Therapy for Dogs & Cats?
Cold laser therapy for dogs and cats (also known as low-level laser therapy or LLLT) is a form of holistic treatment that makes use of a handheld device to emit low-intensity lasers within the range of 600 to 1000nm in wavelength.
Veterinarians skillfully adjust the laser’s wavelength depending on how deep the laser needs to be, whether it’s shallow (for healing surgical incision sites) or deep (for arthritis and soft tissue injuries). Cold laser therapy for pets is completely painless and drug-free, suitable for dogs and cats of all ages.
Key Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Dogs & Cats
Non-Invasive, Holistic Treatment
Cold laser therapy for dogs and cats gently stimulates cellular repair without the need for surgery or sedation. It's a safe, stress-free option ideal for pets of all ages.
Natural Pain Relief Without Medications
Dog and cat laser therapy enhances the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. No medications are needed for the therapy itself, making it a great option for pets with acute or chronic pain and sensitivities to medication.
Reduces Inflammation In Joints, Muscles, Soft Tissues & Systemic Inflammation
Laser therapy reduces inflammation by boosting blood circulation, helping to calm swollen, arthritic joints, soft tissue injuries, and sore muscles. It can also reduce systemic inflammation like that seen in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Speeds Up Recovery After Injury Or Surgery
By boosting blood flow and cellular energy, cold laser therapy for dogs and cats accelerates tissue repair and wound healing. Pets often bounce back faster and with less post-op discomfort.
Improves Mobility & Quality Of Life
Regular sessions can restore flexibility, reduce stiffness, and ease daily movement. Many pets show renewed energy, playfulness, and overall comfort with the help of cold laser therapy.
