Introducing a new theraputic laser

The theraputic laser radically increases circulation, which reduces pain and inflammation and also reduces pain by stimulating an endorphin release and radically excites the energy carrier in the cell to heal the cells in one third to one half the normal healing time. A laser only acts on abnormal cells and does nothing to normal cells so you cannot over treat a pet with a therapy laser.

Laser treatments are cumulative and one builds upon another. Generally, one treats a pet with a series of treatsments for the best effect.

A therapy laser treats any inflammation, pain or acute trauma and any chronic conditions which cause pain ,stiffness and resulting loss of mobility.

Owners may see radical improvements after one treatment but generally several treatments are required to gain the maximum effects especially for chronic conditions.

How to Help Your Cat Loose Weight

We know that it is unhealthy for us to carry extra weight and if we don't get enough exercise, we will put on the pounds and it gets harder to move. This is the same for our cats. To reduce the chances for diabetes and the need to give insulin injections to your loved pet, try to maintain the food intake, rather than allowing free feeding. To help measure out one 1/8 of a cup (per 10 lb cat) twice a day of our recommended lean cat food. Your cat will have more energy and you will enjoy a longer and healthier cat life in your home as a result.
