Laser Surgery for Pets in Clifton

Do you wish there was a way that your pet could recover more quickly and relatively pain-free after surgery? At Valley Animal Hospital, we are the first to offer laser surgery for pets in Clifton, a new, non-invasive method of surgery, also available for pets in Montclair and Nutley.

What is Laser Surgery?

Still a relatively new surgical treatment for pets, your Clifton veterinarians are experts in using a directed beam of light to cut, seal or vaporize soft tissue. It is an ideal tool to use for soft tissue surgeries on cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and exotics.

What Procedures is Laser Used for?

We often use laser surgery for anal gland surgery, ear surgery, oral and dental procedures, dermatological procedures and mass removals. Other instances of animal surgery in Clifton where we also use lasers include removal of warts, cysts and tumors.

How New Are Lasers?

Laser surgery has been a safe and effective method of treating humans for over 20 years. It has recently been adopted for use in animal surgery, with your Clifton veterinarians as one of the first animal hospitals in the nation to use the technology. We have been successfully using laser surgery for over 10 years.

What Are the Advantages of Laser Surgery?

Since it is non-invasive, laser surgery penetrates just a small area of the pet’s body, eliminating the need for major incisions. As the beam penetrates the pet’s body, it seals nerve endings which then result in less post-surgical pain, less bleeding and reduced swelling.

How Does Laser Surgery Benefit My Pet?

Since the laser beam seals skin and blood vessels, there is much less risk of infection after surgery. The laser is also precise and does not damage other tissues. Finally, your pet will be able to return to his or her activities quickly.

As your premier veterinarian in Clifton, we bring to you and your pet laser surgery for a more effective and humane technique of providing soft tissue surgeries. Please call us today for more details.
