Laser Surgery
Your pet’s health is as important to us as it is to you.
We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option for safe, comfortable treatment.
In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to
traditional surgery.
Why Laser Surgery?

Less Pain - Laser energy seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue. Your pet feel less
pain post-operatively.
Less Bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery which allows your doctor
to perform surgeries with extraordinary precision.
This also speeds some procedures, reducing the need for anesthesia.
Less Swelling - Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise because only a beam of intense
light contacts the tissue.
What does this mean for my pet?
Reduced risk of infection - The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue,
killing bacteria that cause infection.
Precision - The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse affects to
healthy surrounding tissue.
Quick return to normal activities - Recovery is rapid and there is less post-operative
discomfort.
Are Lasers new?
Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. This human experience is
proving to be beneficial for pets and their owners. We are pleased to be among the first
veterinary practices to offer laser surgery specifically for pets.
What types of procedures can a laser perform?
A laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds and other pets.
Laser surgery can correct many common conditions such as cysts, tumors, warts and infections
that may occur around the eyes, ears, in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Specialized
internal procedures are also possible. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your
pet’s procedure can be performed with a laser.
