Laser Therapy

Non-invasive laser therapy helps reduce pain, speed healing, and improve mobility for pets of all ages.

Laser Therapy: Gentle Healing for Pain Relief and Recovery

When your pet is in pain, every step, stretch, or jump can be a struggle. Laser therapy offers a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free way to reduce pain, speed healing, and improve your pet’s quality of life—whether they’re recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition.

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy uses low-level light energy to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation. The process—called photobiomodulation—helps the body heal naturally without medication or sedation.

It’s a gentle, painless procedure, and many pets find it relaxing!

What Conditions Can It Help?

Laser therapy is commonly used to treat:

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Post-surgical incisions

  • Back or neck injuries

  • Wounds or skin conditions

  • Ear infections or lick granulomas

  • Muscle strains or sprains

Whether your pet is recovering from surgery or living with chronic discomfort, laser therapy may help them feel better faster.

What to Expect During a Session

Laser treatments are quick—typically 10 to 20 minutes—and completely stress-free. During your pet’s session:

  1. A trained technician will apply the handheld laser wand directly to the affected area.

  2. Your pet will feel a gentle warming sensation (many find it soothing).

  3. There is no need for sedation or recovery time.

Most pets experience improved mobility or pain relief within a few sessions, though treatment frequency depends on the condition being treated.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Laser therapy is FDA-approved and backed by years of veterinary research. It’s especially helpful for senior pets or those who can’t tolerate medications. We’ll tailor the treatment plan to your pet’s needs, and it can be safely combined with other therapies like medication or surgery.

Whether your pet is healing from an injury or managing age-related pain, laser therapy offers a simple and effective way to support their recovery and comfort, without side effects.

FAQs

We have provided some answers to our most common questions.

By Oregon law, a licensed veterinarian must have a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient relationship with you and your animal to provide veterinary services. A valid VCPR cannot be established online, via e-mail, or over the phone. It can only be established by a veterinarian performing a physical examination of your animal. This means that the veterinarian has seen the animal within the last year and is personally acquainted with the care of the animal by virtue of a physical examination of the animal or by medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animal is kept. A VCPR must be in place for a veterinarian to be able to legally provide treatment, prescribe medications, or administer vaccines to an animal. The veterinarian must have examined the animal within the last year to establish the VCPR.
