Laser Therapy for Pets
At Healing Tails Veterinary Clinic, we believe healing is more than just medicine—it's connection, intention, and whole-body care. Laser therapy is one of the beautiful tools we use to help your pets heal naturally and comfortably, blending the best of modern veterinary technology with our holistic approach to wellness.
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy—also known as photobiomodulation—uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This non-invasive, pain-free treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, eases pain, and accelerates tissue repair at a cellular level.
​
Unlike medications that mask symptoms, laser therapy works with your pet’s body to promote deep healing and long-term relief.
How Can Laser Therapy Help My Pet?
Laser therapy can benefit a wide range of conditions and is often used in combination with traditional treatment or alongside other alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage.
​
We may recommend laser therapy for pets experiencing:
-
Arthritis and joint stiffness
-
Muscle or ligament injuries
-
Post-surgical recovery
-
Wound healing or skin infections
-
Back pain or spinal issues
-
Ear infections
-
Dental inflammation or oral pain
-
Nerve damage or neurological dysfunction
​
Whether your pet is recovering from an injury or managing a long-term condition, laser therapy offers a gentle, drug-free path to comfort and improved quality of life.
What Does a Laser Therapy Session Look Like?
Laser sessions are quick and calming. Your pet will rest comfortably while a handheld laser device is applied to the treatment area. Most sessions last 10–20 minutes depending on the condition, and many pets find the experience soothing—some even fall asleep!
​
There’s no need for sedation or shaving, and there are no side effects. You can stay with your pet throughout, offering reassurance and cuddles if needed.
How Many Sessions Will My Pet Need?
Every animal is different. Acute conditions (like a sprain or wound) may only need a few sessions, while chronic conditions (like arthritis) often benefit from a series of treatments over several weeks, followed by maintenance therapy.
​
We'll create a personalised treatment plan based on your pet’s needs, comfort, and overall wellness goals.
Is It Safe and Evidence-Based?
Yes, absolutely. Laser therapy is backed by clinical research in both human and veterinary medicine. It's safe, non-invasive, and completely pain-free when performed by trained professionals.
​
At Healing Tails, we use laser therapy alongside diagnostics, conventional medicine, and other supportive treatments to create a complete care plan for your pet—combining science with spirit, and technology with heart.
Bringing Light to Healing
Laser therapy is a beautiful expression of our philosophy: to treat pain and illness gently, deeply, and holistically. If you're curious whether laser treatment is right for your pet, we're here to guide you with clarity and compassion.
