Request an AppointmentWhat Is Veterinary Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses targeted light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. When the laser’s light reaches the target tissue, it increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain, helping damaged tissue repair itself faster. Premier Veterinary Hospital uses the Companion Therapy Laser, a scientifically proven system trusted by veterinary hospitals nationwide.
Treatments are painless, non-invasive, and drug-free. Most pets find the gentle warmth relaxing, and sessions typically take only a few minutes, with no sedation or shaving required.

Laser Therapy FAQs
How often should my pet receive laser therapy?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, especially when pain is significant. Chronic problems typically respond best to treatments two to three times a week, tapering to once a week or every other week as your pet improves.
How many treatments will my pet need?
It depends on the condition. Some acute problems resolve in one to six treatments, while chronic conditions may need ten to fifteen or more. Severe conditions may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
How soon will I see results?
Many pets show improvement, usually reduced pain, after the first treatment. Others need several sessions. The effects are cumulative, and results are often noticeable after three or four treatments.
Is laser therapy painful?
No. Most pets find the gentle warmth soothing and relax during treatment.
Does my pet need sedation or shaving for laser therapy?
No. Laser therapy does not require sedation or shaving.
Is laser therapy safe?
Yes. Laser therapy is a scientifically supported, non-invasive treatment. Protective eyewear is used during sessions as a precaution.
Can laser therapy replace pain medication?
For some pets it can reduce the need for medication, and for others it works alongside medication to provide better relief. Your veterinarian will recommend the best combination.
