What Is Pet Laser Therapy?

Pet laser therapy uses focused light energy to stimulate cellular repair and improve blood circulation in targeted tissues. This process, called photobiomodulation, helps the body naturally reduce inflammation and pain while speeding up the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin.

During treatment, a handheld laser device is moved over the affected area, generating a warm, soothing sensation that pets typically find relaxing. Most pets experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, with no side effects or downtime required.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session

Each pet laser therapy session at Snake River Veterinary Center is designed to be quick, comfortable, and stress-free. A typical session lasts between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the size of your pet and the area being treated.
