Veterinary Laser Therapy for Dogs & Cats in Beaufort, NC

Slide – BG

Does your pet suffer from chronic pain? Has a recent injury or surgery slowed your normally active companion down?

At Live Oak Veterinary Hospital, we offer veterinary laser therapy to help dogs and cats manage pain, improve mobility and support healing. We welcome pets and their families from Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and throughout Carteret County.

Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that uses laser technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technique, your loved one can enjoy decreased pain, improved mobility, and quicker recovery periods. It can be used as an independent therapy or as a complement to other treatment methods—such as medications, surgery, or physical therapy—to enhance outcomes.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Laser Therapy Treatment

A Patient We’ll Never Forget: One Senior Dog’s Laser Therapy Success Story

One laser patient we’ll always remember is an 11-year-old dog who was struggling to move comfortably. Radiographs revealed spinal problems that were affecting his mobility and quality of life. Our client was facing a heartbreaking decision about her beloved companion’s future. Having recently lost her husband, she couldn’t bear the thought of saying goodbye to his beloved dog, too.

Hoping to improve the dog’s comfort and quality of life, she decided to give laser therapy a try.

We began with 18 laser therapy sessions, administered three times a week, followed by eight weekly treatments. As treatment progressed, our client began noticing encouraging changes.

Today, we’re happy to share that this senior dog is climbing stairs again, moving around more comfortably and showing significantly fewer signs of pain. Our client is thrilled with the improvement and continues to bring her dog in for monthly maintenance treatments.

For our team at Live Oak Veterinary Hospital, stories like this remind us why we do what we do. Helping a senior pet regain comfort and mobility while giving a family more precious time with a beloved companion is incredibly rewarding.

 Verified I had been pretty traumatized by the vet I went to about my elderly cat being sick. I looked for somewhere else to go, and my fiancé explained the situation with the staff. We got an appointment in just a few hours from our call. The staff was very warm and friendly. They knew of our previous trauma from our newly ex-vet, so they were extra considerate to make sure we and my cat were as comfortable as possible and checked in often to reassure us. We were able to turn our fear and anxiety down a bit. I felt comfortable with them handling my baby. They brought a cute pink blanket to wrap her in to take her into the back. Truly they are wonderful. I can at least say they have extended my time with the love of my life/soulmate by at least one night so far, and have her as comfortable as they can. Hopefully, they can help us have many more nights when her blood comes back. Thank You to everyone who was on staff today. It felt good to feel cared for. Definitely our new vet and have already recommended them to friends.

 Verified Dr. Lloyd and the entire staff at Live Oak are absolutely wonderful. Our beloved cat was very sick with cancer and they were all so kind and helpful during such a tough time in our little girl's life. They were so patient with my many calls and questions during the course of our baby's illness and really went the extra mile for us at every opportunity. Unfortunately, our little girl didn't make it, but it was such a comfort knowing she had such good caretakers, and Dr. Lloyd was even there when the day finally came to help her cross the rainbow bridge. It's so hard finding people we can trust with our little family members, but these guys are it. I continue to be thankful for this team and would recommend them every time. It should be noted that our little girl could be very nervous around strangers and they handled her with care and patience.

 Verified Dr. Lloyd and her staff are amazing!! During the scary times of the COVID-19 virus, we recently had to bring our older cat in for a necessary visit. The staff met my husband at the car and took our sweet kitty inside. We were reassured our cat was being loved and comforted in our absence through the numerous phone calls they made to us while she was inside being examined. That was yesterday. Today, Dr. Lloyd called me to discuss our cat's blood work and recommend a plan and treatment in addition to what we discussed yesterday. I couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism and personalized care we've received in a time when emotions can be so high. Dr. Lloyd and her staff care for your animals as if they were their own...and we thank you!
