How Soon Will My Pet Find Relief?

The nature of your pet’s condition and their overall response to the laser will determine how quickly they can get relief. Acute conditions, such as skin injuries or surgical incisions, can be improved with just one treatment. Chronic conditions like arthritis and degenerative joint disease usually require multiple treatment sessions. The effects of pet laser therapy are cumulative, so with each treatment, your pet should experience greater relief.
