Shaker Veterinary Hospital is committed to providing state-of-the-art veterinary care. We are one of the first facilities in our area to offer the benefits of laser surgery for your pet. The Carbon Dioxide Laser produces an invisible beam of light, which heats and vaporizes tissue almost instantaneously without any physical contact. This is done so precisely that the normal surrounding tissues are hardly affected. Surgery for your pet is made gentler with laser surgery.

Since there is no physical contact with organs or tissue, the laser does not cause tearing, crushing or bruising. As it cuts, it is able to seal nerve endings and small blood vessels. The combined effect of laser surgery provides the following benefits:

• less pain
• less bleeding
• less swelling
• reduced risk of infection

One of the most remarkable advantages of laser surgery is the ability to perform a laser declaw procedure. This new technique is much more humane than the traditional method of declawing as it dramatically decreases the pain.
