Laser Surgery: A less Painful Alternative for your pet.

laser

We are excited to offer laser surgery as a progressive new option for our clients who want the safest and least painful treatment for their pets.

Long used in human healthcare, laser technology is a proven service with multiple applications. Only recently have veterinarians turned to laser surgery, and we are proud to be on the leading edge of advanced animal care. In many cases, laser surgery can be extremely beneficial over traditional surgery. Your veterinarian will discuss whether laser surgery is the best option for your pet.

The Benefits:

LESS PAIN: The laser seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue. Your pet will feel less pain after surgery.

LESS BLEEDING: The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery, resulting in less bleeding and minimal swelling.

EXTREME PRECISION: The laser enables your surgeon to only affect or remove the target tissue, leaving the healthy surrounding tissue untouched.

REDUCED RISK OF INFECTION: The high heat of laser energy kills bacteria and micro-organisms as it moves through diseased area, reducing the chance of infection.

QUICKER RECOVERY: For all of the above reasons, your pet is likely to feel less discomfort after surgery and return home to normal activities sooner.

How it works:

A laser is an intense beam of light. Using an instrument that allows it to be precisely controlled, the laser beam replaces the tradtional scalpel.

Laser energy instantly vaporizes the water found in tissues, allowing it to "cut" or essentially remove an extremely small area of tissue. The energy seals nerve endings and blood vessels as it moves through the tissue, resulting in less bleeding, less pain and virtually no trauma to surrounding tissue.

Recommended Procedures for Laser Surgery:

Declaw, Spay, Neuter, Tumor Removal, Ear Crop, Skin Tags, Cyst Removal, Soft Palate Procedures, Gingival and Dental Surgery, Entropion . . . and much more. Consult your veterinarian to determine if laser surgery is the best option for your pet's condition.

When calling to schedule your pet's surgery procedure, make sure to mention that you would like your pet to have the benefits of laser surgery. It is completely optional and there is an additional fee. Please call the office for details.
