Pet Laser Therapy

Foothills Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer therapeutic laser (photobiomodulation) treatments for both dogs and cats. These treatments provide a sterile, safe, non-invasive, and pain-free solution without the need for anesthesia or drugs.

Our skilled veterinarians utilize therapeutic laser treatments to address a wide range of conditions, including injuries, wounds, fractures, inflammation, neurologic disorders, illnesses, and general pain that may impact your pet’s overall health and quality of life. It is especially effective in reducing joint pain caused by arthritis or trauma while enhancing joint flexibility.

Pets often experience noticeable improvements within just 15-30 minutes. By utilizing therapeutic laser treatments, we can significantly enhance the well-being of your beloved companions.

The therapeutic laser emits a powerful, non-thermal beam of light that consists of high-intensity protons. These protons deeply penetrate the tissue without causing any harm or physical incisions. A biological response allows the protons to be absorbed by the injured cells.

This response stimulates the cells to increase their metabolism, leading to pain relief, reduction in inflammation, enhanced local blood flow, and accelerated healing. It is important to note that treatment protocols are customized to each patient and their specific condition, meaning that time and cost may vary accordingly. However, it is typically observed that most pets experience positive improvements in their condition after just a few treatments.
