Unlike family pets, working dogs require a different level of veterinary care with a particular urgency. If a working dog becomes injured or ill, it often cannot effectively perform its job and may have to be temporarily taken out of service or even retired. That leaves a gap in the service they provide to a community. Photobiomodulation therapy, which includes laser therapy, can help accelerate healing and reduce pain and inflammation helping to speed their return to service.
