LumaSoothe Light Therapy for Dogs and Pets - LED Light Therapy for Pain Relief, Muscle & Joint Pain, Reduce Inflammation, Heal Wounds, & Clear Skin Problems with 2 Therapy Modes

Our little 5 pound Yorkie - when he was about 15 years old - spun around quickly and hit the side of his head on a chair leg, resulting in a terrible muscle strain. Normally a very stoic little guy, he was in awful pain and cried when you just came near his neck and shoulder. Took him to our vet immediately and they gave him a cold laser treatment. We purchased a series of treatments for the next four weeks. It worked but was very costly for a 2 to 3 minute treatment. Being a DIY kind of person, and a pet parent who left no stone unturned when it came to our little guy’s wellbeing, I started looking into home-based devices to treat him. I found this LED light therapy device, which was a fraction of the cost of cold laser treatments. Figured it might be a good investment since it had good reviews for efficacy. Turned out to be a great investment! From that time until we lost our little guy just shy of his 19th birthday, we used that device frequently to treat all sorts of ailments - achy muscles, wound healing, skin irritation, etc. We were amazed at how quickly he responded to the treatments, and you know there’s not a placebo effect with dogs. On a subsequent visit to the vet, we mentioned how we were using this device with great success,, and our vet snottily commented… “well, is it as effective as my $20,000 cold, laser machine?” He wasn’t too happy when we replied…yes!For anyone wondering whether or not this works through fur, it did for us. Now, if our dog had really long and thick hair, I don’t know if it would’ve been effective. I always cut my Yorkie’s hair short on the body and neck. But his legs had longer hair there, and we did successfully treat him on his legs and hips. But super dense fur? Probably a question best asked of the manufacturer.

My cat had a few skin issues (post-surgery recovery and scabs from being nervous from a move) that were persistent. After talking with my vet, we decided that light therapy could work. They helped me with finding a few and I came across LumaSmooth!I would definitely purchase this product if your cat or dog needs the light therapy. I was skeptical at first, but, if red light therapy works on humans, then I know light therapy will work on animals. It is a great value for the money you pay!The light is bright so avoid eye contact with yourself and your pet when using the product. It also has a long battery life!

I purchased this because my dog's chyropratcor said it could help his inflammation in his back. I had also hoped it would stop a cyst from growing on his paw and would stimulate hair growth in areas he is losing fur from alopecia x. It did nothing for the cyst or fur growth. I am not sure if it alleviated any back pain or not. He seemed a bit "bothered" by me using it on him despite the facts he was just napping anyway. I can't say it didn't help with his muscle inflammation but I can't say it didn't either. I just don't see any vast change in how he is moving around. It may just be too low dose. The Dr said "if you can afford to buy it, you should try it".

My 2 year old dog started limping after being attacked by another dog in October 2023. After two trips to the vet and a round of x-rays, it was determined that his limp was likely due to a sprain or strain from trying to pull away from the other dog since it only bit his face. After determining the cause of the limp we were given a prescription for carpoprofen and told to have him rest it as much as possible. Unfortunately, he is a very active breed which made it difficult for us to keep him inactive. He continued to run and jump even though his limp was getting worse. After 3 months of no progress, I decided to try cold laser therapy based on a recommendation from a trusted source. After doing some research I felt like this laser would be my best bet and that worst case scenario I would just return it. After doing 5 minute sessions on my dog every other day for a week and a half, his limp is almost completely gone. I am sooo thankful this worked for us! However, after talking to my chiropractor, who has a class 4 cold laser and knows quite a bit about them, I can see why this laser may not work for all dogs or situations. I’d like to pass this information on, in order to help others determine if this would be a worthwhile purchase for their situation.I was told a good starting point to find the problem area on his leg was to put my hand over it and slowly move it around to find any changes in temperature. If there is an area that feels slightly warmer (about a 2° difference) that means there is inflammation there and is likely the problem area. The other thing I was told is that the deepest a class 1 laser can penetrate is about 1-1.5”. The size of your dog, the amount of fur your dog has, and the location of the area you are trying to treat need to be taken into account. If you have a big dog with lots of fur, this laser may not penetrate deep enough to the affected area. So if you have a Great Pyrenees with a bad back, this laser might work, or it might not. It depends how deep the issue is. If your dog has a long dense coat, I would try to move as much fur out of the way in the spot you place the laser. For those of you with big fluffy doggos: At the very least this laser should still work well for surface area issues on the skin. If you want to heal things below the skin, I would also check around local vets to see if they do laser treatments and see if they have one that’s more powerful or that can go deeper than the ones rated for home use. I’m told most vets typically only carry class 1 and 2, but it’s worth a shot.I am giving this product 5 stars because even though it won’t work for everyone, it still does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I think it’s a great laser for at-home use.

It works great with consistency- both for joint and skin healing, etc.However, the design of the product is not practical at alll… in my opinion the surface area is way too small and it is very uncomfortable to hold with this handle. The older model was better where I can just set it on my dog while he’s napping and let it run. Also, for my larger dog it’s triple the work because the surface of the device is so small. I hope there are improvements in the future.
