Q. Will my dog or cat accept the treatment?

A. Animals generally accept veterinary LASER treatment very well indeed (also known as LEPT or Low Energy Photon Therapy). Relaxation is the usual response. We do not sedate patients for LASER treatment as, apart from the potential toxicity of the chemical used, the patient's perception of the LASER stimulus and response to it is likely to be altered. Our experience is that most patients willingly submit themselves to a second treatment, when offered, thus demonstrating their comfort with the process. The treatment is entirely pain-free.

Q. What conditions/diseases can be helped by LASER treatment?

A. There is a wide selection of problems that can respond favourably to LASER therapy. The treatment of soft tissue injury, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and bursae, is an especially fertile field of use. Paralysis and painful conditions such as arthritis, back pain and other back problems, nerve injury and prolapse intervertebral disc are common applications. Headshaking and Recurrent Uveitis (Periodic Ophthalmia - Moonblindness) in horses are also regular calls on our time.

Conditions in which clients have reported great benefit include: wound healing, ulcers, burns, wounds, cruciate ligament injury, sprain, strain, shoulder lameness, arthritis, elbow dysplasia, hip dysplasia, lick granuloma, headshaking (head shaking), back pain, back injury, ear disease, and disk disease.

Q. What sort of cost can I expect?

A. It is always difficult to compare costs across different treatments but, in general, successful treatments are very cost-effective. Most chronic or long term conditions require 2-3 treatments per week for 2 weeks, then 2 treatments per week for 2 weeks and after that maintenance (long term-just like medicine you have to take it!).  Most treatments average $35-45 per treatments.  We also have packages that can be purchased that decrease the price of the treatments. Please give us a call we will be more than happy to provide you with an estimate for your pets' treatment plan.
