This modern modality has revolutionized pet pain management, providing relief in just a few short sessions—no sedation, no stress, no downtime.
What Is
Pet Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy (also known as cold laser or low-level laser therapy) uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, increase circulation, and accelerate tissue repair. It’s a proven method used in both human and veterinary medicine to treat a wide range of conditions—especially those associated with pain and inflammation.
The treatment is fast, gentle, and comfortable. Most sessions take only a few minutes, and many pets find the warmth and sensation calming and soothing.
Conditions Treated with
Pet Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is extremely versatile and can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions, including:
- Arthritis & degenerative joint disease
- Hip dysplasia
- General sprains, strains, and stiffness
- Post-operative pain and swelling (e.g., spay/neuter recovery)
- Skin issues like hot spots, infections, and lick granulomas
- Ear infections and inflammation
- Wounds or surgical incisions
- Neurological conditions or nerve damage
- And much more
Because laser therapy enhances the body’s natural healing response, it’s often used in combination with other treatments as part of a holistic pain management plan.
What to Expect
During a Laser Therapy Session
Laser therapy at Boston Animal Hospital is easy, quick, and stress-free. Here’s what a typical appointment looks like:
- Your pet is positioned comfortably (they can often sit or lie down)
- The handheld laser device is moved slowly over the treatment area
- Each session takes only 5–15 minutes, depending on the condition
- No sedation or anesthesia is needed
- You can usually stay with your pet during treatment
Most pets feel immediate relief and may show signs of improvement after just one session. A full treatment plan typically involves multiple sessions over several days or weeks, depending on your pet’s condition and response.
Benefits of
Pet Laser Therapy
Chronic pain is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated issues in veterinary medicine. Many pets suffer silently, and their discomfort can manifest as subtle changes in behavior, energy levels, or mobility. Pet laser therapy helps us address that pain—naturally and proactively.
Laser therapy:
- Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration
- Improves mobility and range of motion
- Shortens recovery time after surgery or injury
- Reduces the need for long-term medications
- Improves your pet’s quality of life
If your pet is slowing down, limping, or not acting like themselves, laser therapy may be the missing piece of their care.
