Laser Surgery

Reduced Pain

  • Lasers seal the nerve endings as they cut; this means no raw, exposed nerve endings after surgery.
  • Laser surgery produces less pain, less medication, and a quicker recovery.

Less Blood Loss

  • Blood vessels are quickly severed and sealed by the laser beam.
  • Laser surgery produces less pain, requires less postoperative medication, and can encourage a quicker recovery.

Reduced Infection and Trauma

  • Laser's intense beam energy sterilizes tissues as it is used, reducing possibility of infection after surgery. And lasers are patient-friendly as there is no physical contact with the surgical area. No crushing, tearing, or bruising of the surrounding tissues, results in reduced swelling.

We have been amazed at the difference in comfort in animals during the recovery period. Here are some client testimonials sharing their experience with laser surgery.

“This is a picture of my 2 yr old Doberman, Lucas. Lucas had his ear crop surgery at Arrow Animal hospital using the laser surgery technique. My first Doberman had the traditional ear crop surgery with a scalpel, so I was able to compare the benefits of the laser. Lucas had less discomfort and was much easier to manage after the surgery due to the reduction in bleeding and the access to the stitches. It was much easier to care for Lucas myself following the surgery which meant fewer trips back to the clinic and a quicker recovery. If you are planning an ear crop on your dog, I would highly recommend the laser surgery due to the reduction in pain and the ease of post operative care.”

Thinking of having your cat declawed? Worried about the pain your little one will have after the surgery? Do the LASER DE-CLAW!! Cuddles had the laser surgery on a Friday, and when he came home Saturday morning, he was not limping at all! This was the second cat I've had declawed using laser surgery and I wouldn't go any other way. It is amazing how quickly the cat heals. I wish I had had laser surgery available when I had my first cat, Jasper, declawed six years ago. The difference between the healing time is like night and day. The vets at Arrow Animal Hospital are the best!!
