Laser therapy 101

If laser therapy for pets is something of a mystery to you, you'll be glad to know that pet laser therapy is administered in a gentle, non-invasive fashion that most pets tolerate well. A trained vet tech moves a laser wand back and forth over the treated area for 15-30 minutes. The laser stimulates increased blood flow, muscle relaxation, and tissue regeneration, which leads to better and faster healing.
