What Does Laser Therapy Feel Like for Pets?

Laser therapy is completely painless. Most pets relax during treatment and may even doze off! It can feel like a gentle warmth or massage, especially during contact-style treatments, and has a soothing effect on both skin and deeper tissues.

Bonus: Your pet will receive a complimentary bandana after their first session!

What Is Pet Laser Therapy?

Non-Surgical Relief for Pain, Inflammation, and Recovery

Laser therapy uses focused light energy to stimulate healing at the cellular level. At our hospital, we use the Companion Therapy Laser, a Class IV therapeutic laser known for its deep tissue penetration and powerful anti-inflammatory effects. This treatment helps:

Reduce swelling and inflammation
Promote tissue repair
Relieve pain naturally
Increase circulation and mobility
Accelerate post-operative healing

Because it’s drug-free and surgery-free, dog laser therapy is especially helpful for older pets, pets with chronic pain, or those who are sensitive to medication.

What to Expect During a Session

Each laser therapy treatment is customized to your pet’s condition, comfort level, and overall health plan.

Sessions typically last 2 to 40 minutes, depending on the issue
Most pets do not require sedation—treatments are calming, not painful
You’re welcome to sit in during the session (protective eyewear required)
Children under 18 may not be present for safety reasons
Our team will track your pet’s progress with photos and videos
Most treatment plans begin with a “3-2-1” frequency:
→ 3 sessions in week one
→ 2 sessions in week two
→ 1 session in week three

Pets often start to show improvement after just a few sessions, although 6–12 treatments are typically recommended for best results. For chronic conditions, we suggest periodic maintenance therapy to keep symptoms managed.
