• Laser treatments very rarely require any kind of sedation. The only time sedation MAY be needed, is if your pet becomes fractious or overly excited.
• No treatment is created equal; every animal will have their own individual treatment plan according to their own specific need.
• Depending on what kind of treatment is needed, each session can take anywhere from two minutes up to forty minutes of time.
• You as a pet parent, can decide if you would like to sit in on each session, however if not- feel free to bring a book or something to do while you wait.
• Because we are working with a laser, all individuals and pets in the room must wear protective eyewear. We ask that no children under 18 be present, so please plan accordingly if you wish to sit in.
• We monitor the progress of your pet by filming and taking photographs before each session.
• Depending on the ailment, it MAY only take a few treatments to see a difference, however MOST of the time it can take anywhere from 6 – 12  treatments before seeing noticeable improvement. For chronic issues- we strongly recommend maintenance treatments following the initial 6 – 12 treatments for ongoing care. The doctor will discuss with you what the optimal treatment plan for your pet will be.
• The treatment schedule usually works in a 3-2-1 manner, three times every other day during week one, twice during week two, and finishing up with one treatment the third week.

Your pet will receive a complimentary bandana after their first treatment! If we forget to give you one, please ask!
