Laser Surgery for Pets

Laser surgery means less pain, swelling, bleeding, and infection for your pet!

Laser Surgery has been our standard-of-care for years. Traditional surgery, using a scalpel, can bruise or crush tissue. When we use the surgical laser, only an intense beam of light touches your pet which minimizes tissue damage, destroys
surface bacteria, and seals blood vessels as it cuts.

Reducing damage to tissue, along with the laser's ability to seal nerve endings as it cuts, also results in less pain for your pet.

How does the laser work?

The laser produces an extremely powerful and concentrated beam of light. In fact, our surgical laser creates a beam that is even more powerful than a similarly-sized beam leaving the surface of the sun.

Because of its power, the laser has the unique ability to vaporize tissue. The laser can be used to make incisions, as well as to 'erase' or vaporize unhealthy tissue. The laser is so precise that we can selectively remove only a few cells at a time.
