Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive treatment which uses a various wavelengths at different pulsing frequencies and power levels to enhance tissue healing on a cellular level. This is achieved by increasing circulation, and reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain.

We offer Class IV Laser (K-Laser), the very latest technology for the best treatment outcome for your pet.

Advanced laser technology to support healing and comfort.

Laser therapy can be used for a range of conditions, including:

  • Post–orthopaedic surgery (fracture repairs, amputations etc) 

  • Ligament and tendon injury (non-surgical/partial anterior cruciate injury) 

  • Hip dysplasia 

  • Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)

  • Non-healing wounds

  • Pain from ear infections, urinary tract infections and pancreatitis 

  • Feline asthma

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Westie Lung Disease)

FAQs.

  • Your pet may experience muscle soreness the following day, similar to one after a deep tissue massage. 

    Even though there are no known published studies to prove this, Laser theoretically may aggravate and causes cancer cells to multiply.

    In the event that you are seeking our services for your pet diagnosed with cancer, we will disuss alternative treatment options such as Acupuncture.

  • Laser therapy cannot be used:

    • If your pet has seizures 

    • If your pet is pregnant (also a pregnant pet owner cannot stay in the same room with the patient during the laser treatment)

    • If the treatment site is close to or on a cancer site​

  • Laser therapy is non-invasive, and most pets experience a soothing warmth over the area being treated.

    A treatment typically takes just 3–5 minutes per treated site. Because K-Laser is a powerful therapeutic laser, only a short treatment time is needed to deliver the required therapeutic energy.

    You can stay with your pet throughout the session, providing comfort and reassurance.

  • Many pets experience noticeable improvement after their first K-Laser treatment. However, laser therapy works cumulatively, with each treatment building on the previous one.

    Treatment frequency varies depending on your pet's condition, severity and how long they have been affected. The following are general treatment timeframes:

    • Post-orthopaedic surgery rehabilitation: Twice weekly for 2–4 weeks, then weekly until healed.

    • Chronic arthritis: Twice weekly for approximately 3 weeks, then gradually reduce to maintenance treatments every 3–4 weeks. Some pets may require as few as 6 treatments, while older or more severe chronic cases may require 10–15 treatments.

    • Non-healing wounds: Daily, where possible, for 2–3 days, then every second day for 3–4 treatments.

    • Ear infections: Initially 2–3 treatments daily where possible, then 2–3 treatments per week until improvement is evident.

    • Bronchitis / pulmonary fibrosis: Daily for 2–3 days, then twice weekly until clinical signs improve.

    • Feline asthma: Two treatments on the first day, at least 6 hours apart, followed by daily treatments for 2–3 days, then twice weekly until clinical signs improve. Maintenance treatment may be required monthly.

    Our Veterinarians will tailor the treatment plan to your pet's individual needs, and their response to therapy.
