Pet Laser Surgery

Dog receiving laser treatment

Claus Paws Animal Hospital provides CO2 laser surgery for pets in Clark County, WA. CO₂ laser surgery has been used by veterinarians for many years and it has many benefits including reduced pain and infection and improved healing and recovery times.


Here at Claus Paws Animal Hospital we have an state-of-the-art surgery suite and machinery, dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your furry companions.

When it comes to soft tissue surgeries such as spays and neuters, we utilize a CO2 laser that cauterizes as it cuts. This advanced technology not only minimizes blood loss during the procedure but also reduces the risk of infection, as bacteria and other organisms cannot survive in the cut tissue. It also significantly reduces post operative pain.

At our clinic, your pet's safety and well-being are our top priorities. Before any surgery, we conduct thorough blood work to ensure that your pet is in optimal health and can safely undergo anesthesia. We also place an IV catheter so in case of an emergency we can act fast and administer life saving medications. During the procedure, we administer IV fluids to support vital organ function and help the body process the anesthesia more effectively.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for your pet, we provide pre-anesthesia sedation to help them gently transition into a state of anesthesia. Throughout the surgery, we maintain your pet's body temperature using a warming table and warm air blanket to prevent any temperature fluctuations that may occur under anesthesia.

Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring systems that continuously track your pet's vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. Additionally, we administer pain medication before and after the surgery to minimize any discomfort and promote a speedy recovery.

After the surgery is completed, we offer a post-operative treatment photobiomodulation therapy known as cold laser therapy. This non-invasive therapy helps promote healing at the surgical site and reduces inflammation and pain. By incorporating PMBT into our post-operative care plan, we aim to accelerate your pet’s recovery process and ensure they are back on their paws in no time. They will be kept warm and comfortable with our bear hugger system, which maintains their body temperature during recovery. Furthermore, your pet will receive a complimentary nail trim to ensure their overall well-being.

Upon discharge, your pet will be provided with an Elizabeth collar to prevent them from interfering with the incision site and promote proper healing. Our goal is to ensure that your pet receives the highest standard of care throughout their surgical journey and beyond.
