Class IV laser therapy unit, we are very pleased and excited to be able

Cats tolerate laser treatment very well. It can be used to treat urinary issues. In addition, the skin-contact head is particularly enjoyed by animals with muscle pain as it is ike a relaxing heat massage
Here is the lovely Tay, just before having her laser therapy to aid in the healing of a Lick Granuloma.

Treatment times can range from around 1 minute to 20 minutes depending on the condition and area being treated.

" Our 7 year old greyhound Ruben had a nasty cut under his front leg, it had been stitched 3 times under general anaesthetic but because of where it was these kept breaking down. We were told by our old vet that he would need a major skin graft operation, but at his age we wanted to avoid that if possible. Unhappy with the advice we were given, we approached Animal Tails and that's where we were introduced to the notion of laser therapy. Rather than putting Ruben through any more anaesthetic or invasive procedures he began getting laser therapy on the wound every couple of days. The result was amazing. He loved going to the practice to see everyone and stood quite calmly getting cuddles while the laser works its magic. The wound healed in a matter of weeks without the need for more stitches and there is barely a scar left. At one point we had thought it would never heal, I'm so glad we changed vets and discovered what laser therapy can do. The staff at Animal Tails are wonderful and both our dogs love going to see them, in fact I've never known dogs to be so happy going to the vet!" - Ms Jacqueline Brown
