No, cats are very sensitive whenever it comes to NSAIDs, and if you give too many of them, or if you're not getting the correct dosing or the correct type, you can cause kidney failure in your cat. They have very delicate kidneys.

So it varies, as it depends on what you're using it for, but most of the time, we're going to be using it for something like arthritis. We generally start out doing the procedure as far as the cold laser therapy about every few days for the first couple of weeks. So your dog is usually in here at least every other day, or at least a couple of times a week to help get started. But then we found that once we can get the inflammation under control, laser therapy once a week, or even down to once a month, can still be beneficial.

It's all about inflammation. Just as we can take some Advil or use the heating pad or the ice packs to help decrease inflammation in our bodies, laser therapy for dogs does the same type of thing. The inflammation is all of what we're targeting with that and helping to decrease that and make these dogs a lot more comfortable faster.

Things that we use it most commonly for are going to be for post-surgical incisions. So if your dog is spayed or neutered, perhaps we can use that to overall help promote the inflammation associated with that normal process and help speed up the healing of that incision. But we also like to use it a lot for arthritis pain. When dogs have arthritis, their joints can have a lot of inflammation associated with that. So it helps to decrease that inflammation and help promote the new healthy cells to come up and hopefully make their joints a lot more comfortable in the long run.

Laser therapy will help to get your pup feeling better a lot faster. We've been able to find studies that show that healing as far as an inflammatory type reaction can be sped up substantially just by doing this cold laser therapy treatment.

Dog laser therapy focuses on the inflammation in the body. So we are targeting that inflammatory tissue to help suppress that immune response and also help promote the production of new healthy cells.
