Pet Laser Therapy
Oak Hill Animal Hospital is committed to continually advancing our comprehensive care for your beloved pets. One of the advanced services we offer in Covington, GA, is pet laser therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that enhances the healing process and alleviates pain without the need for medications or invasive procedures.
Does your pet suffer from chronic pain? Has a recent surgery or injury slowed your normally active companion down?
At Oak Hill Animal Hospital, we believe that when it comes to caring for your cherished companion, you should have as many choices as possible. That’s why we’re pleased to offer pet laser therapy as part of our comprehensive suite of services.
The laser uses painless waves of light to treat areas of the body that are experiencing pain or have suffered trauma. This triggers a natural response and reduces inflammation without the need for medication or other invasive measures. As a result, your loved one can enjoy decreased pain, enhanced mobility, and shorter recovery periods.
What is veterinary pet laser therapy?
Our Pet Laser therapy service in Covington, GA, is a painless, non-invasive form of treatment which stimulates the body’s natural healing and pain control response. It can be used as a standalone therapy or as a complement to other treatment methods. Using a small, handheld device, the veterinarians applies a low level laser to the area on question, stimulating normal cellular function. This results in faster wound healing and enhanced pain relief. Best of all, because pet laser therapy requires no medication or surgery, there are no harmful side effects.

We will provide you with an individual treatment recommendation once we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate your companion’s situation.
