Our clinic has invested in modern medical technology so we can provide additional treatment options that support your pet’s recovery and long-term comfort.
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
This technology has been cleared by the FDA for both veterinary and medical use and has been shown to be safe and effective for managing many painful conditions. Because the therapy does not involve medication or surgery, it can often be used alongside other treatments recommended by your veterinarian.
MLS laser technology differs from traditional cold laser therapies through a patented dual-wavelength system that allows deeper tissue penetration. This deeper reach helps provide longer-lasting results while often requiring shorter treatment sessions.

What to Expect During Treatment
Laser therapy sessions are typically quick, comfortable, and stress-free for pets. Most treatments take only a few minutes depending on the area being treated. Many pets relax during the session as the laser device is gently moved over the affected area.
Your veterinarian will recommend the number of treatments needed based on your pet’s condition, severity of symptoms, and response to therapy.
