We are thrilled to announce that Vital Vet has added laser therapy into our practice. Why is this exciting? Because keeping pets comfortable is what we aim for, and laser therapy is a game changer.

Pain is one of the most common problems we tackle when caring for our pets. Whether it’s an ear infection, arthritis, or inflamed skin, pain is challenging to manage. Why? Because medications have limitations - and potential side effects. Long term pain medications can challenge liver and kidney function, and that’s for patients who have the benefit of taking them. Some species (like cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals) have extremely limited options for pain control.

That’s where laser therapy comes in.

Laser therapy is clinically proven to help keep pets more comfortable (and speed the healing process!) without medications - and without side effects.

Here’s how it works:

A near-infrared laser stimulates circulation and cell activity, which decreases inflammation (and associated pain) while also promoting accelerated healing. Each session is performed in a matter of minutes, providing non-invasive pain control and enhancing tissue healing without medications or side-effects.

It’s a great option for patients who cannot take medications, or for those who are still showing signs of discomfort while on medication.

What do we use it for? The list is extensive, but here are the most common applications:

• Arthritis
• Ear infections
• Skin allergies
• Soft tissue injuries
• Fractures
• Surgical recovery
