Have you noticed your older kitty slowing down lately? Maybe your agility dog has an injury that just won\u2019t heal. In these and many other scenarios, it\u2019s possible that laser therapy could be an answer to your pet\u2019s pain and discomfort.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used for years in humans, laser therapy for pets<\/a> uses Class IV laser light to stimulate healthy cell growth, repair damaged cells, and promote healing and pain relief. This therapy is now available at Dupont Veterinary Clinic<\/a>, and we are thrilled to share its benefits with our patients and clients.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The laser light is delivered through a handpiece that is moved over your pet\u2019s body, similar to an ultrasound. The light particles penetrate painlessly through your pets skin and tissues and are absorbed by damaged cells. The cells in turn are stimulated, and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in decreased inflammation, pain relief, and accelerated healing.
