Pet Laser Therapy for
Senior Pets
Pet owners in Fort Lauderdale
can now help their senior pets put a little bounce back in their step thanks to
pet laser therapy available from DPC
Veterinary Clinic in Davie.
If you are not familiar with laser therapy as
a veterinary treatment it may surprise you that your pet can now receive the
same treatment that professional athletes received for strained knees, elbows,
shoulders and backs. Laser therapy has been used for decades because of its
restorative qualities but it has only recently been adapted for veterinary use.
How the Pet Laser Works
The
laser sends "packets of light energy" into deep tissue at the
cellular level without damaging the cells. The light energy is absorbed by the
cells and causes a chemical change resulting in the production of ATP, a
substance that fuels the rejuvenation and repair of cells. The more ATP
produced, the more healthier cells and the more healthier cells the more
healthier the pet becomes.
The actual treatment involves a vet setting
the laser for the condition being treated and then taking a flashlight sized
applicator and moving it over the affected area. The pet feels soothing warmth
and relaxes much like you would during a massage.
Sessions vary in length but are
typically short and the results are immediate. Your dog or cat will be friskier
than before and if there was any pain in the joints it will be gone.
