Laser therapy can be extremely beneficial in veterinary practices to enhance recovery, manage post-operative pain, and improve outcomes after a patient has completed surgery.

This video explains how it works from veterinarians that use it, briefly walking through applications in pre-operation, intra-op, and post-op for various surgical cases that include neurotomies, cystotomies, and foreign body removals.

You'll see how class IV laser therapy leads to positive results far beyond just rehab and osteoarthritis.

It will help you understand the benefits of incorporating laser therapy into your daily practice and educating clients (or team members) about its effectiveness in improving overall surgical care.

[Case Study]
Watch how Gus, a 13-year-old Cockapoo with sudden onset paresis of both hind legs, got back on his feet after two weeks of photobiomodulation (laser) therapy from the great team at West End Veterinary Clinic in Henrico, VA.

After a physical examination revealed rear limb paresis and proprioceptive deficits bilaterally- a presumed IVDD diagnosis- the team applied laser therapy to deliver consistent, non-invasive support to Gus's spine, which gave his humans their dog back.

Picking the right treatment head for the right condition is one of the most important and underappreciated aspects of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy.

Deciding whether to treat a condition on-contact or off-contact can dramatically influence photon pe*******on, dose delivery, patient comfort, and, ultimately, clinical outcomes.

For example, one cadaver study that evaluated light pe*******on into the spinal canal of large-breed dogs demonstrated nearly a 70% increase in pe*******on when an on-contact technique was used compared to non-contact delivery.

As PBM becomes more widely integrated into veterinary practice for musculoskeletal disease, wound healing, dentistry, neurology, and rehabilitation, understanding these practical application principles is essential for veterinarians and technicians alike.

Understanding when and why to use each approach helps maximize photon delivery, improve treatment consistency, and optimize patient outcomes.

Wishing a safe Memorial Day weekend to all of our friends and colleagues in the US and those who observe abroad. Here are 5 safety tips to share with your clients from our friends at Rau Animal Hospital as we hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday:

1) Keep your pets away from fireworks and loud noises
2) If you're driving, don't leave your pet alone in a hot car
3) Ensure that plenty of water is around
4) Keep any alcohol or toxic substances out of paw's reach

Meet Obi 🐩 , a nine-year-old poodle who was barely eating, losing weight, running out of energy, and diagnosed with nonspecific hepatitis and IBD.

With her family increasingly fearing the worst, Dr. Douglas Andrews at Fallmouth Veterinary Hospital in Maine added laser therapy to Obi's treatment plan. By the third session, Obi's appetite was back.

Over 12 treatments in 30 days, she returned to her normal weight, her normal energy, and her normal self.
