Vet Testimonials

"We have had a K-Laser from VBS since 2016. To be honest - I wonder how we managed without it before! We use it multiple times through the day - post op- spays and castrates, stitch ups and dentals. My nurses use it for K-Laser clinics - skin issues, OA, elbow dysplasia and lick granulomas. We get referrals post orthopaedic surgery from the Corporates (we are independent).

I was concerned when it was due a service as we can’t manage without it! I need not have worried - the loan laser came in a padded box with clear instructions. Take the loan unit out, put yours in, seal it up and stick the ready to use labels on the box. Called the phone number given in the instructions and the courier arrived within 2 days and collected it! Our own K-Laser came back after 2-3 days and we sent the loan unit back. It could not have been easier!

There are other lasers on the market but I got K laser because there are actual proper studies done that show it does work. We have amazing results with it. We are not in a wealthy area, and I am a single vet practice. The beauty of klaser is the staff love getting involved with it. It frees me up to do other stuff and clients love it as it is not a drug.

"The K-laser has been an excellent addition to the services we are able to offer as a practice. It has not only lead to better clinical outcomes in many cases but has provided a completely new revenue stream for the practice. The indications for its use are so varied and it is unusual for the laser not to be in use every day. We recently purchased the surgical head for our K-laser unit to replace our existing surgical laser at a fraction of the cost. I can honestly say I can see no disadvantage over our existing system, apart from it can’t be in 2 places at once! The aftersales/support provided by the team is also fantastic." Richard Meers, Clinical Director

"The K-Laser has been a great asset to treating animals at our practice. It gives slow healing wounds a great kick start and has helped several dogs with musculoskeletal injuries avoid referral and surgery." Dr Erica Coleman-Field, BVM&S, MRCVS  All Creatures Vet Centre

"We have had the K-laser class 4 since June 2019 and we love it as much as our clients!

We do a lot of orthopaedics and have found that 2 weekly lasers for 3 weeks have massively improved our patient’s recoveries. We mostly use our laser for Arthritic cases and 97% of clients we see for this have said they have noticed a huge improvement to their animal’s mobility as well as quality of life. most of our clients come for the 6-10 treatments but we do have a large amount of bonded clients that still come back to see us every 2-3 weeks from starting the initial treatment back in June last year!

We have all of our nursing team trained to perform the treatments and find they love to be involved with our patients and clients. The patients love the warm soothing motion of the laser being performed and more often than not the nurses find it very relaxing to perform.

From the cases we have had in our practice I can say id strongly recommend the k-laser. Its lovely for us to see the improvements with our patients each time they come back."
A S Cannon RVN, Head Nurse, Vets4Pets Milton Keynes

 “Great results, love the machine and working with clients. Well over 50+ individual cases treated in 3 months, delivered 335 sessions so far, all cases had a good response, some more than others, overall 95% of cases had a significant improvement. It is used on a daily basis, some days up to 12 sessions, other days 2 or 3. We charge £29.00 per sessions. Client compliance is fantastic, also got new clients. We are doing a clinical study on wounds, with phenomenal results: one dog had his paw sliced over a piece of glass, wound 4-5cm long, 1.5cm wide, 1 cm deep, stitched twice, it wasn't healing: after 5 applications the wound was completely gone! We use it mostly on osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal injuries, cruciate operations, hip dysplasia. Most of cases can reduce medications and even come off completely.”
Mr. James Bigglestone MRCVS and Miss Jo Williams RVN, Village Vets, North Wales.

“What amazed me was the return on investment and goodwill from clients whose pets were undergoing laser therapy. Right from the beginning we were seeing on average 6 cases per day and turning over close to £1000 every week. This is new money coming into the practice and differentiates us from the surrounding veterinary practices.”

"Apart from the initial consultation and follow up assessment near the end, this is an entirely nurse lead team. My highly qualified nurses are able to spend time with each patient and see the improvements with the owners over the sessions, this has benefits for all aspects of the services we offer small animal clients."
Darren Partridge MRCVS, owner of Molesey Veterinary Centre

“We have had a number of successes that can only be put down to the influence of the K-laser. They include: a rapid resolution of a difficult infected, non-union plated forelimb fracture referred from another practice, improve recovery times after TPLO surgery, significant pain reduction and lameness in animals with elbow arthritis or degenerative joint disease where NSAIDS have ceased to be effective, and impression wound healing where significant skin loss occurred after a dog attack meant that a large area of secondary intention healing needed to take place.”
Mark Lindfield MRCVS, owner of Clerkenwell Animal Hospital, London, England

“When discussing laser therapy, the first thing that impressed me was the amount of enthusiasm the clients showed. All have been intrigued with this treatment modality. I was a little concerned initially about owner compliance, especially during the start of treatment, but all seemed more than willing to return for successive treatments. After each animal had the first few sessions, the results became apparent. They were good! Not only from a post-surgical pain/inflammation viewpoint, but also from animals which have been struggling with osteoarthritis for a long while. The most successful case so far is a 5 year old Lab which has been struggling with OA due to bilateral elbow dysplasia since only a few months old… it’s had every form of treatment to date, with only mildly satisfactory results. Since starting laser therapy, the dog is now able to get up without difficulty, exercise well, and bound around like its been wanting to do for years. My other main experience involves using laser therapy for delayed/non-union fractures. When these animals were diagnosed with delayed/non-unions, laser therapy was started, and 3-4 weeks further on, healing was evident in all but one case without further surgical intervention. I’m thrilled with the results this piece of technology has given us so far.”
Shaun Smith BVetMed, CertSAS, MRCVS, Northlands Vet Hospital

“We use it at least 2 - 4 times per day: arthritis, back, hips, cruciate ligament in a dogs, musculo- skeletal injuries, pre/post orthopaedic cases, a cat with broken jaw that improved immediately after laser therapy, elderly dogs with osteoarthritis alongside with acupuncture (pet are more lively if they had laser + acupuncture, than acupuncture alone). Some reactions are instant: Hayley's dog stopped limping after the first application. Everybody notices improvements after the course of 6 apps. Client compliance is very good, we have new clients coming in by word of mouth having met patients we have treated.”
Lisbeth Lester MRCVS, Lester Pet Care, Wigan, Lancashire.

“This absolutely amazing little machine (and it is indeed quite small) is delivering the most fantastic results in the treatment of loads of different conditions. We had arthritic dogs who could not move around pain free even on two different painkillers now being able to jump up again and cats finally being able to venture out into the garden again. It helps against skin infections, speeds up wound and fracture healing, can be used for cats with chronic gingivitis and a whole range of other problems!

The animals don't require sedation for it, all it involves is running the laser over the area for several minutes. For most conditions a series of between 4 and 6 treatments are advisable, in some chronic cases a regular "top-up" may be needed. We have lots of happy pets and happy owners - it's so nice to see those results!”
Billa Schleicher MRCVS, All Pets Vet Care, Milford Haven, Wales.

 “We have treated an enormous amount of patients with all the clients liking the laser technique and enjoying being part of the therapy process. I have seen numerous cases post surgically that are walking and exercising far quicker than I would have seen previously over the years – the joints appear less inflammed and painful after operations, and the animal’s demeanour improved. It combines well with the general physiotherapy that we can advise customers to do on their pets. We have also seen significant improvements in chronic moist eczemas, gingivitis and a whole range of other acute and chronic conditions. We are very happy with how well the machine has fitted into our practice, it is going extremely well.”
Martin Gabbutt MRCVS, Abbeydale Vets, Blackburn, Lancashire.

“We are really enjoying having the K-Laser in our hospital for wounds and post-surgical use. Over 2/3rds of our operations are having it as standard treatment, including all our neuters, as we offer it at a very competitive price. We, and the owners are seeing improvements across the board, and our owners are spreading the word about the laser and its effects, so recruiting new cases is easy. On chronic wounds and lick granulomas we have had great results and owners are so relieved to have a treatment option after years of struggling to cope. Also lacerations and nasty abscesses, and especially cut pads we have had fantastic results with complete healing in 2 ½ to 3 weeks instead of the usual 5-6 week period. This reduces a lot of stress for us and the owners.

Owner compliance is really good, we have a client whose dog falls asleep after 30 seconds of the laser, this gives us an opportunity to really talk to the owners about general pet health and build a good relationship. It is good as a nurse to have something that is quite tangible to work with that we can go back to the vets and report on the progress of cases, the vets are always really happy with how it is going”
Jennie Tansley RVN, Oundle Vets, Northamptonshire

"I have become increasingly interested and excited about the K laser. I believe it to be the treatment of the future and its many benefits are being discovered almost daily. Laser energy increases circulation, drawing blood & nutrients to the area, where the laser then stimulates the release of oxygen to the damaged tissues, creating an optimal healing environment. The laser also increases energy at the cellular level and reduces pain and inflammation by a direct effect on the nerves."

"We are proud to be one of the very few vets in the whole of the South West to offer this treatment and have made it surprisingly affordable. It is a huge success with our clients, especially for helping to treat arthritis and speeding up healing after surgery."

Margaret Collins MRCVS, Manor Farm Veterinary Surgery

"We did a young German shepherd with severe hip dysplasia. After 3 – 4 sessions we saw an amazing improvement, you honestly could not say he had hip dysplasia. This young dog had hip bone architecture changes that should have resulted in surgery. There was a bad dog bite case that we gave daily wound K-Laser sessions for five days, the wound healed very nicely without any signs of infection.”
Alex Selles Llorens MRCVS, 
Medivet Forest Lodge Veterinary Centre, Forest Row, East Sussex.

“We tried another less expensive Class 3b brand of laser therapy but found the results in cases of osteoarthritis were not nearly as impressive as those with the K - laser. We made the leap and brought the more expensive unit because we have confidence in the efficacy of the K laser, we have not looked back”
Stewart Halperin MRCVS, Owner of Queens Park Vets, West London

“We trialled a class IIIB laser and were not convinced it was helping animals with DJD. The K-Laser is so user friendly that all the veterinary staff can administer doses and we have seen great results in NSAID dose reduction in our chronic DJD cases. The owners are really behind it. I really appreciate the impact it has in wound healing as well. A useful piece of kit for our clinic.”
James Bennett MRCVS, Head Vet at Chiswick Pet Care Clinic

We have had the klaser for approx. 2 years at GUVS and we use it on every patient we see through the physiotherapy / hydrotherapy service as all patients present with some element of pain / inflammation. We have had very good results for tendon (luxating patella) and ligament injuries (partial CCL tears) which were managed conservatively and did not require surgery. Previously when the partial CCL patients were rested then exercise was reintroduced the partial tear almost always became a full tear. The Klaser reduces inflammation (effusion) associated with the ligament injury and reduces scar tissue and the ligament heals with good fibre alignment giving strength and flexibility so much less likely to re injure the ligament. I think for the tendonitis type problems (lux patella) the laser acts in a similar way to cortisone injections. Once the inflammation around the tendon is controlled with the laser the tendon tracking is improved and the patella is stabilised.

We also use the laser a lot for chronic condition such as Hip Dysplasia in my previous experience of these cases the HD would tend to remain the same and the progression of secondary arthritis was reduced with physio and hydro alone. Now I am finding with the addition of K-Laser therapy the patients are regaining almost 100% range of motion in the hip joint which was previously reduced to around 60% I also strongly recommend these patients also have a good joint supplement.

Post-surgery the K-Laser is very good at enhancing wound healing. Again, if scar tissue is a problem over a joint surgery the laser is very good at minimising this. The cost of the laser treatment is absorbed into the physio / hydro session. However sometimes we see patients who only receive K-Laser treatment at this is priced at £15. If you explain the benefits of the laser therapy to your clients I am sure they will accept it. If you are using it on all your post-surgical patients, you could just incorporate it into the surgery price.
