Why Laser Surgery?
Less Pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts". As a result, your pet will experience less pain
and be more comfortable post operatively.
Less Bleeding: The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. This speeds many procedures,
reducing the time your pet needs to be under anesthesia, which further reduces possible
complications.
Less Swelling: Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise tissue because the only thing that touches
your pet is an invisible beam of light.
What Does This Mean For My Pet?
Reduced Risk of Infection: As the laser removes diseased tissue, it seals the skin and reduces the amount of bacteria present.
Precision: The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse effects to healthy surrounding tissue.
Quick Return to Normal Activities:
Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing. The laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical
procedures for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, exotics, horses and other pets. Laser surgery is commonly used in soft-tissue surgical procedures. Your
veterinarian will be able to tell you if your pet's procedure can benefit from laser surgery.

Oral/dental surgery
Spays and Neuters
