Pet Laser Therapy in Brevard County, FL
Island Animal Hospital is pleased to offer laser therapy in Brevard County, FL to our patients at our Cocoa Beach and our Merritt Island location. Pet laser therapy is a therapeutic approach to treating pain, inflammation, edema, wounds, and much more. It is entirely non-invasive and pain-free, with no known side effects, making it a great alternative or complement to prescription pain medications. Our lasers use the Multiwave Locked System (MLS) that goes beyond traditional low-level light therapy without the concerns associated with high power laser therapy.

Pet Laser Therapy Treatment Plans
Pet laser treatment plans will fluctuate from pet to pet, depending on their response to treatment and their condition. Some pets will show immediate results after one session, yet this is not always the case. We recommend doing treatments in a group of six. The timeframe for these six sessions will vary. They could be daily, twice a week, once a week, etc. Additionally, the treatment could last anywhere from one to ten minutes. It all depends on your individual pet’s needs. Our doctors will work closely with you to develop the appropriate treatment plan for your pet. The first session will consist of a consultation with our veterinarian and following sessions will be performed by a trained technician.
How Pet Laser Therapy Works
The key element of pet laser therapy is that it uses light energy to facilitate the body’s natural healing processes. Light particles penetrate deep into your pet’s damaged tissue to stimulate a wealth of biological processes including cell production, blood circulation, and more. Our MLS laser is the most advanced laser on the market. It harnesses the latest technology to improve upon traditional Class IV lasers and deliver unparalleled therapeutic effects.
