What Is Pet Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy, uses precise light energy to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not cut or burn tissue; instead, they activate natural healing responses within the body. This makes the treatment completely painless and suitable for pets of all ages.

Common conditions treated with cold laser therapy include:

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Post-surgical healing
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Back or neck pain

Because the therapy is gentle and soothing, most pets find their sessions relaxing.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session

Cold laser therapy is quick, comfortable, and performed by trained veterinary professionals. During your pet’s visit, our team will:

  • Identify affected areas in need of treatment
  • Apply the handheld close to or gently against the treatment area
  • Deliver targeted light energy for a few minutes per site
  • Monitor your pet’s comfort and adjust technique as needed

Most treatments take only 5–10 minutes, and pets can resume normal activity immediately afterward. Many patients experience relief after the first few sessions, with benefits increasing over time.
