Cat & Dog Laser Therapy in Millis, MA

Touch-Free Pain Relief:
Cat and Dog Laser Therapy in Millis, MA

We like to think of cat and dog laser therapy as the “non-cutting edge” of veterinary science here in Millis, MA. Unlike surgical lasers, which cut, our therapeutic laser emits a high concentration of red and infrared light beams that are safely absorbed into the skin and muscle tissue. This innovative tool is highly effective in the treatment of various injuries, infections, and much more.

Dogs and cats alike can benefit from this modality, which uses light energy and a virtually no-contact approach to relieve pain, swelling, and tissue damage. Typically, we use laser therapy as an integrative treatment, combining it with other types of solutions such as pharmaceuticals and other alternative therapies.

What Does Our Therapeutic Laser Do?

You might be wondering how a laser can heal using light energy. To start, when your pet’s body absorbs the light from our laser, the cells within the body’s tissues metabolize the light energy and become more active. This accelerates cell regeneration, increases blood flow to the area, and stimulates the release of pain-relieving hormones, aiding in healing, tissue repair, and pain relief.

Because your pet’s tissue is only being exposed to light, this means they won’t feel any discomfort during treatment. Instead, they might feel a gentle warmth as the laser is carefully moved over the area being treated.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

In general, cat and dog laser therapy sessions take between 5-10 minutes, with the majority of patients seeing positive effects after just 3-5 uses. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following each session. Plus, the effects are cumulative, so if your pet has a chronic condition, we may be able to spread out their treatment sessions more and more as their results improve.

Are There Any Side Effects?

One of the many perks of laser therapy is its lack of side effects. With our skilled team handling the equipment and administering treatment, we know how to tailor our laser to every pet’s needs and get the best possible outcomes. The safety of our therapeutic laser makes it a reliable tool in our healing arsenal.
