How to Help a Dog With Arthritis Live a Happy Life

  • Start by aligning the laser device over your dog’s painful/affected area.
  • Keep the device at least 0.5 inches away if your dog suffers from skin lesions (burns, open wounds).
  • Keep the laser at a right angle and do not press it on the affected area.
  • Do not move the wand left or right, forward or backward. Keep it still until the set time expires.
  • For larger breeds or dogs with extensive wounds, it may take 20-30 minutes per session.
  • For each spot, start with 1.5 minutes per affected area and then change to 4 minutes the second time you use the laser device.
  • Use the cold laser therapy device for dogs at least twice a day, for better results.

The whole procedure usually takes several minutes. You may need to use the device several times a day for weeks or more, depending on your dog’s condition.
