Photoceuticals are validated through clinical studies and use light at a specific dose to produce safe, consistent, and reproducible outcomes in animal patients. Targeted veterinary laser therapy treatments can help reduce — and in some cases remove — the need for NSAIDs in dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.
Through scientific investigation, it is now possible to optimise the desired biological effect to achieve photochemical (healing and immune response), photophysical (analgesia), or thermomechanical (regenerative) tissue responses in veterinary species.
An ideal veterinary photoceutical device delivers optimal doses of light energy using a combination of curated wavelengths and an appropriate frequency of exposure to produce targeted outcomes. These targeted animal treatments improve quality of life and support the continuum of care throughout a pet’s treatment plan — and over the course of its life.
Acute Trauma/Pain
Pain Medication, via IV
During surgery Rufus gets his first dose of analgesic via IV
High-Dose Laser Therapy
Delivered post-surgically to his wound and surrounding tissue to quickly reduce pain
Ready for Recovery
Antibiotics, via injection
Rufus gets a long-acting injectable antibiotic to protect him when he’s ready for at-home recovery
Tissue Healing Optimized Dose of Laser Therapy
Delivered to the damaged tissue to stimulate regeneration of the injured tissue
Long-Term Animal Care
Antibiotics, via Oral Medication, Pet-Owner Administered
Pet Owner gives at-home dose of antibiotics to continue protecting Rufus
Long-Term Care Laser, via At-Home Device, Pet-Owner Administered
Pet owner maintains healing with dose of laser optimized for long-term care
Standard laser therapy refers broadly to the use of therapeutic light on animal tissue. Veterinary photoceuticals are a more precise category of light-based treatment designed to deliver clinically validated, dose-specific biological outcomes in animal patients.
Like pharmaceutical drugs, photoceuticals are administered at a specific dose for a specific purpose — including pain relief, tissue regeneration, inflammation management, and long-term mobility support in dogs, cats, horses, and other veterinary species.
Multi Radiance’s photoceutical approach is supported by more than 50 published clinical studies.
In some cases, yes. Veterinary photoceutical therapy may help reduce pain and inflammation through natural photobiological mechanisms, potentially decreasing reliance on NSAIDs or other analgesics in dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.
This may be especially beneficial for chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, where long-term NSAID use can carry known risks. Treatment decisions should always be made in consultation with a licensed veterinary professional.
Photoceuticals are particularly well suited to conditions that require support across multiple stages of care — from post-surgical pain management in dogs and cats to tissue healing, rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance in equine and companion animal patients.
Common veterinary applications include:
The photoceutical continuum-of-care model is designed to support animal patients from initial treatment through long-term quality-of-life management.
Veterinary photoceutical treatments are non-invasive and are generally considered safe when administered according to validated treatment protocols by trained veterinary professionals. Safety depends on proper dosing, treatment duration, wavelength selection, and the specific medical condition being treated.
