Over the next seven to 10 days, the pet may receive a laser treatment every few days until the skin around the incision is less inflamed. Results of laser therapy treatments are cumulative, but most pet owners report significant improvement after two to four sessions. An article in the Newark Post, in
Delaware, quoted pet owner Cricket Barazotto as saying, “I was desperate to get [my dog] Clare out of pain. It was hard for her to walk through our neighborhood. But after the first week of laser therapy, she started jumping back up on our bed.” Pet owners who previously relied
upon more traditional means of re- lieving inflammation or pain, such as drugs, prescription diets for skin aller- gies and other types of palliative care, are often surprised by the affordability and availability of laser therapy. Treat- ment costs vary by location, generally ranging from $50 to $75 a session. To find an area veterinarian that uses non- surgical laser therapy, visit the websites of the two main manufacturers: K-LaserU-
SA.com/locator/ locator/
index.php and Companion
TherapyLaser.com/Pages/pet-owners. This federally approved safe and
effective technology delivers results, increasing mobility, accelerating wound healing and decreasing pain. To see if a family pet could benefit from laser therapy, contact a veterinarian to dis- cuss the best application of this innova- tive approach.
