Laser Therapy
At AVH, we’re proud to offer laser therapy, a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and speed up healing in pets. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic arthritis, or healing from an injury, laser therapy can make a real difference in their comfort and recovery.
What is laser therapy?
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body's natural healing process. The light energy penetrates deep into tissues, helping reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote cell regeneration, without any discomfort to your pet.
​
It’s safe, gentle, and backed by veterinary science.

Many pet owners notice visible improvements in their pet’s comfort, mobility, and energy after just a few visits.
