The therapeutic effects of light have been observed since the 6th century B.C. and the first documentation of accelerated healing in veterinary medicine was back in 1967. It has been part of the standard for physical therapy.
We use our class IV Companion Laser for a variety of conditions, both acute and chronic. Ask our staff more about this!

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Pain is often overlooked, since some animals are "still eating", or "not whining/crying." There are many different ways to address pain, both acute and chronic. Throughout the month, we will post pictures and information about pain in animals to help spread the word and make sure our babies stay comfortable!

With the weather staying hot these next few days, please be careful with your dogs (or cats)! The best time to walk is in the early morning and at night, but the pavement may still retain heat, so always check. We have already seen a few cases this year, and we don't want to see any more!
