🐾 February is Laser Month at Parkland Veterinary Hospital! 🐾

This time, we’re shining a spotlight on Laser Surgery for pets – a cutting-edge technique that offers numerous benefits for your furry friends.

✨ What is Laser Surgery? Laser Surgery uses a special CO2 laser to cut through tissue with precision. This advanced technology results in less pain, less bleeding, and faster healing compared to traditional scalpel surgery.

✨ Why Choose Laser Surgery?

Decreased Pain: The laser seals nerve endings, minimizing pain after surgery.
Reduced Bleeding: The laser cauterizes blood vessels, preventing excessive bleeding.
Faster Healing: Less inflammation and irritation mean your pet can recover quicker.
Less Risk of Infection: The high heat of the laser helps destroy bacteria during surgery.

✨ What Can Laser Surgery Do? Laser surgery can be used for routine procedures like spays, neuters, and lump removals. It’s also great for delicate surgeries around the eyes, mouth, and throat!

This year, give your pet the gift of precision and comfort with Laser Surgery! If you’re wondering if it’s the right choice for your pet, reach out to us. We’re here to answer any questions!

📞 Call us today to learn more, book your pet's surgery or schedule a consultation!

🌟Brynlee on her Therapeutic Laser session, isn't she a superstar? 🌟

Did you know that veterinary laser therapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing? 🐾 Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, wounds, dealing with chronic arthritis, or suffering from traumatic injuries, therapeutic laser therapy can make a big difference!🌈

This gentle treatment uses laser light to stimulate cells and promote healing, offering benefits like: ✔️ Pain relief ✔️ Decreased inflammation ✔️ Faster wound healing ✔️ Muscle relaxation

⚠️The word “laser” originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser light is different from “normal” light because it is of a single wavelength and it is focused (concentrated). The wavelength (measured in nanometers or nm) influences the biological effects of the therapeutic laser; some wavelengths are better for pain, some are better for inflammation, and others are better for skin lesions.🐾👍👍

💡 Special Offer 💡
Every third Wednesday of the month, we’re offering a discount on all laser appointments! On that day, it will be $45 dollars for a 1 site session. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help your pet feel their best! 🐕🐈

Contact us today to schedule your pet’s therapeutic laser treatment and learn more about how it can improve their quality of life. 🩺✨
