7 reasons dog owners are doing red light at home now

It used to mean a clinic, a booking and a bill every visit. Here's why more owners are buying the light instead.

No more car rides to the clinic.

Getting a stiff, heavy dog into the car is hard on both of you. Then the waiting room. Then the drive home.

Now the session comes to his bed. No booking. No waiting. He stays right where he's comfy.

A man holding the wand on his large senior dog lying on a dog bed at home — His bed. Your schedule.

Every day, not once a week.

Clinic visits fit the clinic's calendar. Home sessions fit his.

Do it with your morning coffee, or while he dozes at night. Set the timer, hold it on the spot, done.

Since using the red light therapy my dog has been moving his leg a bit more it's not pulled up into his body now it is almost touching the ground

Sarah M.

Luna went from walking on one leg to running in our backyard. After just 3 weeks of using this twice a day on her joints, she's like a puppy again. I honestly didn't think anything would help at her age.

Michael T.

Louie couldn't even walk anymore. After 2 weeks of daily treatments, he's back to his old self - running around and playing like nothing ever hurt. Worth every penny.

Jennifer R.

Pepper was moving so slow and stiff on our walks, I thought her days of running trails were over. After 4 weeks of treatments, she's back to her energetic self. I'm amazed.

David K.

Seeing good results with Max's hip dysplasia after about 3 weeks. He's not limping as much and seems more comfortable. Takes some patience but it's working.

Amanda L.

After spending thousands on vet visits and medications, this device has been a game changer. My senior Lab can finally walk without whimpering. Wish I'd found this sooner.

Robert W.

My German Shepherd had ACL surgery and this sped up his recovery significantly. Vet was impressed with how quickly the swelling went down. Highly recommend.

Emily C.

Bella's arthritis made every walk painful to watch. Two weeks in and she's actually pulling on the leash again like she used to. This thing really works.

James H.

Works well for our Husky's elbow dysplasia. Takes about 15 minutes per session but she seems to enjoy it. Definitely seeing improvement in her mobility.

Lisa P.

I was skeptical but desperate. My 12-year-old Golden couldn't get up without help. After one month of daily use, he's walking on his own and even playing fetch again. Miracle device.

Christopher B.

Best investment I've made for Duke. His IVDD back pain was so bad he couldn't walk. Three weeks later he's mobile again and hasn't needed pain meds in days.

Rachel S.

My Frenchie had terrible joint pain and I hated giving him NSAIDs. This has replaced his medication completely. He's back to his goofy playful self.

Thomas G.

Good quality device. Using it on my Lab's hips and seeing gradual improvement over the past month. Battery life is solid and it's easy to use.

Nicole A.

Watching Maggie struggle to stand up every morning broke my heart. This device gave her quality of life back. She's running around like a puppy at 10 years old.

Kevin M.

Paid for itself after 4 vet laser therapy sessions. Now I can give my dog unlimited treatments at home. His limp is almost completely gone.

Michelle F.

My Border Collie tore her ACL and the vet quoted $5000 for surgery. Started using this religiously and after 6 weeks she's weight-bearing and running again. Avoided surgery completely.

Brian D.

Solid device for the price. My Shepherd's arthritis is noticeably better after a few weeks. He can do stairs again without hesitation.

Jessica T.

I use this on both my senior dogs and myself! All three of us have less joint pain. The dual wavelength really does penetrate deep.

Daniel R.

My Rottweiler had hip dysplasia so bad I was considering putting him down. This device bought us more time together. He's comfortable and happy again.

Charlie went from limping constantly to jumping and playing in just 2 weeks. The red light really does work. So glad I tried this.

Mark J.

Good results so far with my Lab's elbow arthritis. Takes consistency but I'm seeing steady improvement. Battery lasts a long time between charges.

This is hands down the best purchase I've made for my dog. His chronic pain is manageable now without harsh medications. He's so much happier.

Works as advertised. My Boxer's post-surgery recovery has been much faster than expected. Swelling went down quickly and he's already back to normal activity.

Melissa K.

I was spending $200/month on pain meds and my dog was still suffering. This device changed everything. He's off medication and pain-free. Best $249 I ever spent.

Gregory S.

My Great Dane had terrible hip dysplasia. Three weeks of daily treatments and he can go up and down stairs without assistance. This is a lifesaver.

Samantha V.

Riley had IVDD and couldn't walk. The vet said surgery was the only option. Started this therapy and within a month he was mobile again. Avoided a $6000 surgery.

Joseph F.

Good device. My dog's knee injury is healing well with daily treatments. Takes about 10-15 minutes but she relaxes and seems to enjoy it.

Laura B.

This thing is magic. My 14-year-old dog went from barely moving to playing with toys again. I tell every dog owner I know about this.

Andrew M.

My Labrador had chronic shoulder pain from an old injury. After 2 weeks of treatments he's not favoring that leg anymore. Really impressed with the results.

This saved my dog's life. He was in so much pain I considered euthanasia. Now he's running and playing again. I'm forever grateful for this device.

Timothy W.

Best decision ever. My Lab mix had chronic hip pain and couldn't enjoy walks. Two weeks in and he's back to his happy self. No more limping.

Good quality and effective. My Shepherd's arthritis is improving steadily. Battery life is great and it's easy to operate. Recommend giving it time to work.

Lindsey T.

Max's chronic pain is finally under control. No more expensive vet visits or medications with side effects. This device has been absolutely worth every penny. He's happy again.

Good questions.

Is it safe?

It never gets warm and makes no noise. Wear the goggles in the box and never point it at anyone's eyes. Ask your vet first if your dog is pregnant, has a tumour, a seizure history, an open wound, or takes light-sensitive medicine.

Does it work through thick fur?

Yes. The 808nm near-infrared passes through fur. No shaving, no gel. On a very thick coat, part it a little and hold it on the spot.

How long is a session?

You set it from 5 to 30 minutes and the timer counts it down. Most owners do one or two a day. If your dog is under a vet's care, follow their advice.

When will I notice a difference?

We won't promise a timeline. Every dog is different. Owners watch how their dog gets up after a nap and handles the stairs. You have 90 days to decide.

Is it the same as the vet's laser?

Same two kinds of light, in a wand you own. Clinic lasers are stronger and run by trained staff. If your vet set up clinic sessions, keep them, and ask if home sessions fit alongside.

What if my dog won't sit still?

Start with one minute on a spot they like being touched. It's silent and never warm, so most dogs settle in. If yours never does, that is what the 90 days are for.
