Pet Laser Therapy in Pensacola, FL
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy—also called cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation—uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood circulation. The laser’s deep-penetrating light energy promotes healing at the cellular level, reducing inflammation, easing pain, and supporting tissue repair.
Our hospital uses the CTX-IQ laser from Companion Animal Health, a trusted, state-of-the-art system proven to improve mobility and comfort in pets recovering from injury or living with chronic conditions.
How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy sessions are completely noninvasive and pain-free. No sedation is required, and most pets find the experience relaxing. During treatment, a handheld device is applied to the affected area, delivering light energy that helps cells recover and release natural pain-relieving compounds.
Each session typically lasts between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on your pet’s condition. Many pets show noticeable improvement after just one or two treatments, though chronic issues often benefit from a series of sessions.
Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is effective for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Post-surgical recovery
- Wound and tissue healing
- Muscle injuries and strains
- Ear infections
- Lick granulomas and hot spots

Our team may recommend same-day treatment if laser therapy is appropriate for your pet’s condition.
