At Grant Animal Clinic, we’re proud to offer advanced laser therapy for dogs and cats to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support faster healing. This safe, non-invasive treatment can be highly beneficial for a wide range of conditions and gives your pet relief, either without the need for additional medications or invasive procedures, or as an adjunct therapy.
If your pet is struggling with chronic pain or an inflammatory condition, see if laser therapy would benefit them.
How Laser Therapy Works in Pets
Laser therapy, also known as cold laser or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses light energy to stimulate healing at a cellular level. The laser delivers concentrated light photons deep into the tissues, triggering a biological response called photobiomodulation. This process:
- Increases cell energy and speeds up cellular repair
- Enhances blood flow and reduces swelling by stimulating lymphatic drainage
- Encourages the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers, for lasting comfort
Laser therapy aids the body in doing what it does best — healing itself — while offering the relief your pet needs for a better quality of life.
Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy
Laser therapy can be a game-changer for pets dealing with chronic or acute conditions. Here are some of the most common conditions we treat with our Companion LiteCure Class IV Therapy Laser:
- Arthritis and Joint Pain: Alleviates joint inflammation and discomfort in older pets or those with orthopedic conditions
- Post-Surgical Healing: Reduces swelling and speeds up recovery after surgery
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Helps heal sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries by reducing inflammation and releasing endorphins
- Wound Healing: Aids in the repair of wounds, cuts, and abrasions
- Inflammatory Conditions: Relieves symptoms associated with skin infections or hot spots
- Back and Neck Pain: Ideal for pets with spinal issues or chronic musculoskeletal pain
Virtually any inflammatory condition can benefit from laser therapy. However, laser therapy is generally contraindicated in pregnant pets, pets with tumors, or ocular conditions.
