Laser Surgery: A Less Painful Alternative for Your Pet... 

The health of your pet is as important to us as it is to you. Laser surgery is a safe, comfortable
treatment. We are pleased to offer this exciting new option to traditional surgery. 
In many procedures the scalpel can be replaced with the laser to provide a much better alternative.

What is a Laser?
A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of  light at a specific
wavelength.  We treat our patients with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser which is
the most advanced type of laser in the medical field.  CO2 lasers produce an
invisible beam that vaporizes the water normally found in skin and other
soft tissue.  The laser beam can be precisely controlled so it can remove or cut a
small portion of tissue at one time while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

Why laser surgery?
There is less pain – The laser seals nerve endings
as it moves through tissue. Your pet will feel less pain after surgery.
As the laser removes diseased tissue it also kills bacteria that causes infection.There is less bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery,
resulting in less bleeding and quicker procedures. 

There is less swelling - The laser does not crush, tear or bruise the tissue because
there is no physical contact with the tissue.   The healing process is rapid and there is less
post-operative discomfort. Laser procedures heal differently than traditional surgery
resulting in less trauma to your pet.  This may shorten the time spent in the veterinary hospital.

We pride ourselves on staying on the leading edge of technology and medicine,
and educating our clients on the various levels of care available.  Laser surgery is the
future of veterinary medicine, and we feel our clients deserve to have that option
when choosing the best care for their pets.
